Project Overview & Strategic Capacity
The West African shea belt is witnessing a rapid shift toward large-scale industrialization. Our recently commissioned 250 TPD shea butter processing plant in Nigeria is a modernized facility engineered to process 250 tons of shea nuts per day. This project covers the entire production cycle—from raw material intake to high-purity refined oil—designed to boost local processing capacity and improve raw material utilization.
Processing shea kernels with an average oil content of 40–45%, this Automatic Shea Butter Extraction Project with High Oil Yield Technology ensures every batch meets the stringent requirements of international export markets.
Integrated Technical Workflow
The facility integrates advanced pre-treatment, high-efficiency pressing, and multi-stage refining into a synchronized production model.
A. Raw Material Pre-treatment
The process begins with rigorous cleaning to remove impurities, followed by crushing and specialized drying/conditioning. This reduces moisture levels and improves the kernel structure to maximize extraction efficiency.
B. High-Pressure Extraction Line
At the core of the facility is the 250 TPD Shea Butter Pre-treatment and Pressing Line in Nigeria. Our continuous screw presses are designed for high-torque performance, ensuring a low residual oil rate while maintaining the natural chemical integrity of the fats.
C. Multi-Stage Refining System
To produce premium, odor-free oil, the facility includes an Industrial Shea Butter Refining Machine for Cosmetics and Food Grade Oil. The refining section handles:
- Degumming & Deacidification: Removing phospholipids and free fatty acids.
- Bleaching: Achieving a clear, light color for luxury cosmetics.
- Deodorization: Eliminating volatile odors for a neutral flavor profile.
