Turnkey Edible Oil Processing Plant Solution for Commercial Oil Producers

In today's highly competitive edible oil market, commercial producers face not only external pressures such as raw material price fluctuations and stricter quality standards but also internal challenges including long construction cycles, complex equipment selection, unstable oil yield, high energy consumption, and management difficulties. Many companies experience investment waste, delayed production, or reduced market competitiveness due to lack of systematic planning. Efficiently and reliably building a modern edible oil processing plant has become a key concern in the industry.

QIE Group, with 43 years of experience in the edible oil engineering field, is committed to providing global clients with comprehensive turn-key edible oil plant solutions. From project consulting, process design, and equipment manufacturing to installation, commissioning, and operator training, we provide full support to help clients achieve efficient conversion “from seed to refined oil.”

QIE Group Turn-Key Solutions: Simplifying and Accelerating Plant Construction

A turn-key solution means the client can start production simply by “turning the key.” QIE Group’s turn-key plant solutions cover the complete process: oilseed pretreatment → pressing/solvent extraction → oil refining → bottling and packaging, delivering integrated services from design to production.

We offer customized designs based on client requirements, including oilseed type (soybean, peanut, sunflower, palm fruit, rice bran, etc.), production scale (10TPD–3000TPD), investment budget, and local regulatory requirements. Whether a small-scale refinery or a large integrated oil mill, We provides plant configurations that balance technological advancement with economic efficiency.

Core Equipment and Technical Highlights: Ensuring High Yield, Quality, and Efficiency

1. Efficient Pretreatment System

• Includes vibrating screens, magnetic separators, destoners, crushers, flakers, and steam cooker etc equipment

• Precisely cleans, crushes, softens, and conditions oilseeds

• Increases oil yield and reduces residual oil to industry-leading levels 👉( Steam cooker to increase edible oil yield )

2. Versatile Extraction Methods

• Screw Pressing: Suitable for small-scale or high-value oils (e.g., cold-pressed peanut or sesame oil), retaining natural flavor

• Solvent Extraction: Ideal for bulk oilseeds such as soybean and rapeseed, solvent extraction residual oil content < 1%  👉( High-efficiency soybean oil solvent extraction equipment )

• Combination Process: Pressing followed by solvent extraction, balancing oil quality and yield

3. Advanced Oil Refining Equipment

• Complete refining lines including degumming, neutralization, bleaching, deodorization, and winterization/fractionation

• Batch or continuous refining options

• Automated control, energy-saving, low wastewater discharge, compliant with modern environmental standards

• Ensures refined oil meets national first-grade edible oil standards

4. Intelligent Digital Control System

• Integrated PLC and HMI for real-time monitoring, fault warning, and remote technical support

• Reduces manual intervention, improves management efficiency, and ensures production stability
