Turnkey Edible Oil Processing Plant Solution from Design to Installation

With over 40 years of experience in the edible oil industry, QIE Group has successfully delivered turnkey solutions for hundreds of edible oil processing plants worldwide. We understand the common challenges investors face when setting up an oil plant:

• Confusion in equipment selection, unsure how to match pretreatment, pressing, and refining capacities

• Inefficient factory layout leading to crossed logistics and high energy consumption

• Frequent budget overruns due to suppliers passing responsibilities

• Delays in installation and commissioning affecting production schedules

• Difficulty meeting oil quality standards without customized refining processes for specific raw materials (e.g., high-acid palm oil, high-wax sunflower seeds)

We believe a real solution isn't just selling equipment—it's delivering a complete production line that consistently produces high-quality oil.

1. Full-Service Turnkey Solution: From Design to First Barrel

Step 1: In-Depth Consultation to Identify Your Needs

Before designing, we carefully assess your requirements, including:

• Main raw materials: soybeans, rapeseed, palm, or specialty oils  👉( Corn germ oil processing line: full pressing or pre-press + solvent extraction )

• Target markets: domestic sales or exports to Europe, the U.S., Southeast Asia

• Oil quality standards: Grade 1, Grade 2, or refined

• Production capacity planning: small pilot line or future expansion

• Budget and target commissioning timeline

This information determines the technical route and equipment configuration for your entire plant.

Step 2: Smart Factory Design – Efficiency Meets Compliance

We use 3D simulation and process optimization to ensure your plant is efficient, safe, and compliant:

• Process layout: Pre-treatment → Oil pressing/solvent extraction → Refining → Dewaxing/Winterization → Packaging

• Factory layout: Optimized logistics flow, safe spacing, and environmental compliance

• Energy system design: Steam, heat transfer oil, water recycling, and boiler configuration

• Oil quality targets: Key parameters such as acid value, peroxide value, and color

All designs comply with national food safety standards and international export regulations, allowing for future certification and expansion.

Step 3: Customized Equipment Configuration

We don't sell off-the-shelf machines. Each line is tailored based on capacity and raw materials:

• Pre-treatment system: Cleaning, crushing, flaking, roasting for optimal pressing

• Pressing/Solvent extraction system: Screw press or solvent extraction 👉( Drag chain extractor for solvent extraction workshop )

• Refining system: Degumming, deacidification, decolorization, deodorization 👉( Edible oil refining equipment for premium-quality final oil )

• Post-processing system: Winterization/dewaxing equipment for seasonal oil stability

• Storage & Packaging: Automatic filling, vacuum leak prevention, capping, supporting bottles, drums, or bulk

All equipment is manufactured, numbered, and pre-commissioned to ensure zero installation errors.

Step 4: Manufacturing & Delivery – Full Quality Control

At our large manufacturing facility, we strictly follow ISO quality management:

• Each device undergoes no-load and load testing before leaving the factory

• Complete test reports and operating manuals are provided

• Ship in batches to avoid site storage issues

Step 5: On-Site Installation & Commissioning

Our engineers are on-site throughout:

• Provide guidance on foundation construction and equipment installation

• Complete pipe connections and electrical control system integration

• Conduct trial runs with materials and optimize process parameters

• Train operators to ensure they master daily maintenance skills

Goal: Stable oil output on schedule, with first-batch oil meeting quality standards.

Step 6: Long-Term Technical Support

Production start is just the beginning:

• Spare parts warehouse, 48-hour response for common components

• Regular inspections and remote technical support

• Energy-saving upgrades (waste heat recovery, variable frequency control)

• Seamless expansion of new modules

We are your long-term technical partner, not just a supplier.

4. FAQ

Q1: Can I start with a small line and expand later?

A: Absolutely. We design lines with future expansion in mind—no major modifications required.

Q2: Do different raw materials require different refining processes?

A: Yes. Palm oil, sunflower, rapeseed, etc., have unique properties. We provide tailored refining processes for acid value, wax content, and pigments.

Q3: How is equipment warranty and after-sales service handled?

A: All machines are fully tested before shipment and come with manuals and warranty. Our support team provides remote guidance, on-site inspections, and 48-hour spare parts response.

Q4: What is the typical commissioning timeline?

A: Depending on capacity and plant size, it usually takes 3–6 months from signing to first oil. A detailed timeline is provided in advance.
