India is one of the world’s largest producers and consumers of peanut (groundnut) oil, with Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Andhra Pradesh as key production regions. The country’s rising demand for refined and branded peanut oil, driven by health-conscious consumers and growing culinary use, creates strong investment opportunities.
A 50TPD peanut oil extraction plant can capture this growing market efficiently, offering high oil yield, quality products, and competitive returns. With India’s abundant raw materials and supportive policies, such a plant is ideal for investors seeking medium-scale, profitable edible oil projects.

A complete set of 50 tons/day peanut oil extraction plant usually adopts the integrated process of pretreatment, pressing, solvent extraction and refining to maximize the yield and quality of oil.
Pre-treatment: Cleaning, de-stoning, shelling, and crushing the peanuts to prepare kernels for extraction.
Pre-pressing: Using a peanut oil press to obtain crude oil and high-protein peanut cake.
Solvent Extraction: Employing hexane to extract residual oil from pressed cake, achieving over 99% oil recovery.
Oil Refining: Degumming, deacidification, bleaching, and deodorization to produce refined edible peanut oil.
By-product Utilization: Peanut shells for biomass fuel, defatted meal for high-protein animal feed.
This process ensures high oil yield, product purity, and energy efficiency, complying with BIS and FSSAI standards.
