Edible oil production line

What is the daily output of an edible oil production line? Detailed explanation of different output levels.

When choosing an edible oil production line , daily output is the most important factor for every buyer and investor. Different production line sizes, raw materials, and processes all affect the final oil production volume. This article will provide a detailed analysis from three aspects: small, medium, and large-scale production lines , and output selection , so that you can make an informed choice.

With years of experience in edible oil machinery, QIE GROUP provides tailored solutions for small, medium, and large production lines to ensure optimal output and cost-effectiveness.

Daily output and capacity analysis of small-scale edible oil production lines

Small-scale edible oil production lines are typically suitable for small businesses, startups, or to meet small-scale market demand in a specific region. The daily output of these lines is generally between 5 and 20 tons .

The core equipment for a small production line includes:

  • Cleaning equipment (such as vibrating screens and destoners)

  • Crushing equipment (toothed roll crusher)

  • oil pressing equipment ( screw oil press or hydraulic oil press)

  • Simple filtration equipment (plate and frame filter press)

These devices are relatively simple and easy to operate and maintain.

Taking a screw oil press as an example, its hourly pressing capacity varies depending on the model, generally ranging from 0.5 to 2 tons . Assuming it works 8 to 10 hours a day, the daily output is approximately 4 to 20 tons .

Small-scale production lines have relatively low capacity but are characterized by low investment costs and high flexibility . They can quickly adjust the types of oils produced according to market demand and are suitable for processing a variety of different oilseeds.

When purchasing a small-scale edible oil production line , the quality and reliability of the equipment must be considered to ensure stable production. Energy consumption is also a crucial factor; lower energy consumption reduces operating costs. Furthermore, the supplier's after-sales service is essential; timely maintenance and technical support minimize downtime.

Reference for daily output and cost of medium and large-scale edible oil production lines

Medium and large-scale edible oil production lines are mainly designed for large-scale market demand and are suitable for large enterprises or group companies.

  • Medium-sized production line : Daily output is generally 20-100 tons.

  • Large-scale production line : daily output of over 100 tons

Medium and large-scale production lines have more complex and advanced equipment configurations. In addition to the basic equipment of small production lines, they also include:

  • Softening/conditioning equipment (layer softening pot, conditioning tower)

  • Billet rolling/expansion equipment (bill mill, extruder)

  • Leaching equipment (leacher, evaporator, stripping tower, condenser)

  • Refining equipment (degumming centrifuge, vacuum deacidification tower, decolorization tower, high-efficiency filter, vacuum deodorization tower)

Production Line Type and Output Cost Reference Table

Production line type Daily output range (tons) Equipment investment costs (approximate range) Operating costs (for reference only)
medium 20 - 100 $200,000 − $1,000,000 Relatively high, but unit cost decreases due to economies of scale.
Large 100 or more $1,000,000 and above Higher cost, but significant economies of scale and lower unit cost.

Investment costs for medium to large-scale production lines are higher, mainly for purchasing advanced equipment and constructing factory facilities. However, due to economies of scale, the operating cost per unit of product is relatively lower. When purchasing medium to large-scale production lines, in addition to equipment quality, energy consumption, and after-sales service, it is also necessary to pay attention to the degree of automation to improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs.

Edible oil production line output selection

The output of an edible oil production line needs to be selected by taking into account several factors:

  1. Market Demand : Conduct thorough research on local and target market edible oil consumption to ensure that the produced products have sufficient market space.

  2. Investment Budget : The investment costs for production lines with different output levels vary significantly, so it is necessary to choose an appropriate scale based on financial strength.

  3. Risks and Upgrades

    • New entrants to the edible oil industry with uncertain market demand → Start with a small-scale production line.

    • With sufficient capital and a clear market objective, one can directly choose medium to large-scale production lines to achieve economies of scale.

  4. Process and raw material factors : The type of process and the type of raw materials directly affect the output and oil yield. Choosing the right combination can optimize cost and efficiency.

Production Calculation Methods and References

The method for calculating the output of an edible oil production line can be determined based on the equipment's processing capacity and operating time:

日产量(成品油) = 原料量 × 出油率 \text{日产量(成品油)} = \text{原料量} \times \text{出油率}

  • Example: A screw oil press processes 1 ton of raw material per hour, working 8 hours a day → Daily output of 8 tons.

  • The leaching process needs to consider the equipment's processing capacity and the connection between upstream and downstream processes.

  • Raw material quality and moisture content also affect equipment efficiency, and output needs to be adjusted according to actual conditions.
