From equipment selection and plant layout to installation, commissioning, and after-sales support, QIE GROUP helps investors make informed decisions when purchasing soybean oil production lines .


Types of soybean oil production lines suitable for small-scale oil mills

1. Cold-pressed soybean oil production line (suitable for high-end or health-oriented oil products)

Cold-pressed soybean oil production lines are simple and compact in structure, typically including units for cleaning, dehulling, pressing, and filtering. This type is suitable for small oil mills that prioritize high-quality oil, preserving the natural flavor and nutrients of soybeans.

Key advantages:

  • Low initial investment, simple structure, and easy maintenance

  • It has a small footprint and is suitable for small soybean oil press plants with limited space.

  • Producing high-quality oils suitable for specialty or local markets.


2. Semi-automatic hot pressing + simple refining production line (suitable for stable commercial production)

For small soybean oil mills looking to increase oil yield and production efficiency, a semi-automatic hot pressing production line combined with a basic refining unit is more suitable. This type of production line combines pressing with light refining to obtain clarified oil, extend shelf life, and ensure consistent oil quality.

Key advantages:

  • Fast oil output

  • Modular design facilitates future upgrades or automation modifications.

  • Reduce operational risks and improve production consistency in soybean Oil Extraction plants.

  • QIE GROUP can provide customized configurations based on the production targets and budgets of small oil mills.


Key factors when purchasing a soybean oil production line

When purchasing a soybean oil production line , small-scale oil mills should focus on the following:

  • Product positioning (high-end, healthy, and regular cooking oil)

  • Daily production capacity and future expansion plans

  • Energy consumption and operating costs

  • Equipment maintenance complexity and spare parts supply

  • Local raw material supply and labor situation

Choosing a production line that is stable, easy to operate, and scalable can ensure the efficient operation of a small soybean oil press plant while reducing investment risk.
