Medium sized vegetable oil factory

Essentially, vegetable oils are used as ingredients in food, which then add texture and flavour to it. Industrially, they can likewise be used to make soaps, perfumes, skin products, candles, hair oils, skin creams, and other cosmetic products. Not only that, one type of vegetable oil, called castor oil, is used as medicine and lubricants. Also, most pet foods utilize vegetable oil as one of their leading ingredients.

That is why it is no wonder that cooking oil has a huge demand and a high added value, which then makes it a suitable product for small business operations. Having a high demand and a high added value, many business inclined people venture to establishing vegetable oil mills. They start from small scaled ones, which then grows steadily into a successful, medium scale vegetable oil mill, from which they could benefit from for many years to come. But what exactly is the purpose of medium scale vegetable oil mill?

Purpose of Setting Up Medium Scale Vegetable Oil Mill

Obviously, one major purpose of it is to manufacture vegetable oils, made usually from sunflower seeds, soybeans, hazelnuts, palm fruits, olives, grape and sesame seeds, avocado, and a lot more. But, of course, it is more than that, as one of its purpose is likewise to ensure that the vegetable oil they produce is made from the finest and freshest organic goods and vegetables there is. Given that it already is a medium scaled mill, rest assured that it has already established a name of its own. It wouldn’t have progressed from a small scale to a medium scaled vegetable oil mill had it been offering a mediocre and below par product. But then, what is its benefits? 

Medium sized vegetable oil plants have low total emissions and energy demand, as well as high production efficiency and flexibility, making them suitable for promotion in different regions and helping to achieve localized production and sustainable development.

What equipment is needed to establish a medium-sized oil plant?

Establishing a medium-sized oil plant requires the configuration of pre-treatment equipment, oil presses (or pre presses+leaching equipment), crude oil refining equipment, and filling equipment, including cleaning equipment, crushers, steaming and frying pans, presses, filters, refining equipment, etc., to meet the full process requirements from raw material processing to finished product packaging.

Overall, these devices can achieve full process automation and standardization from raw material processing to finished product packaging, improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and ensure stable product quality. In addition, refining equipment such as degumming, deacidification, decolorization, deodorization and other processes can remove impurities, enhance the edible value and safety of oil products, and meet the demand for high-quality edible oil in different markets. At the same time, the introduction of automation equipment reduces human error and improves production consistency and reliability.

Benefits of Setting Up Medium Scale Vegetable Oil Mill

Establishing a medium scale vegetable oil mill has a lot of benefits. On the off chance that you are considering to establish one, it might cause you a $50,000-1,000,000 capital investment, but still, it can bring you a huge sum of money in the long run.

• Supply of crops：The harvest season of oil bearing crops have a short span, that is why most owners buy crops which are good for an entire year of production. This demands a sufficient storage space and a tactful production and financial planning.
• Economic Factor：The owners must also take heed of the technology available. The more improved, the better, but the more improved also means, the more expensive it would be. Also is it necessary to have adequate facilities for maintenance and repair.
