For peanut oil producers—whether you run a small-scale mill or a large agro-processing facility—the choice between cold-press and hot-press refining can make or break your efficiency, cost structure, and environmental compliance. This guide breaks down key technical indicators like oil yield, energy consumption, and purity levels to help you select the best system for your factory’s unique needs.
At first glance, both methods aim to extract edible oil from peanuts—but their approaches differ significantly in temperature control, chemical impact, and output quality.
| Parameter | Cold-Press (≤45°C) | Hot-Press (≥70°C) |
|---|---|---|
| Oil Yield (%) | 62–68% | 75–82% |
| Energy Consumption (kWh/kg oil) | 0.8–1.1 | 1.3–1.6 |
| Purity Level (Free Fatty Acids %) | ≤0.1% | ≤0.3% |
Real-world data shows: A mid-sized peanut oil plant in Vietnam using our intelligent cold-press system achieved a 15% reduction in electricity usage compared to older models while maintaining premium-grade oil purity. Meanwhile, a large processor in Brazil reported a 20% increase in daily throughput after switching to automated hot-press with integrated heat recovery units.
"The real game-changer was the smart control panel—it reduced manual adjustments by over 60%, allowing us to focus on quality instead of monitoring," says Maria Lopez, Operations Manager at AgroFoods Mexico.
With global buyers demanding HACCP-certified and ISO 22000-compliant production lines, choosing equipment that supports food safety standards isn’t optional—it’s strategic. Our latest generation of peanut oil refining systems includes closed-loop filtration, moisture sensors, and traceability modules that ensure every batch meets international benchmarks.
