Uzbekistan 10-50TPD Cottonseed Oil Processing Plant

Unlock Market Potential with High-Return Investment

Uzbekistan is the world's fifth-largest cottonseed producer, with cotton cultivation accounting for over 40% of its arable land. This provides an abundant supply of raw cottonseed. Meanwhile, annual edible oil consumption in the country continues to grow by 8%, but domestic refined oil production capacity is insufficient, necessitating high-priced imports. Developing cottonseed oil processing plants can simultaneously address both increasing raw material value and meeting public needs, creating a significant market gap.

Project Scale & Core Advantages

QIE’s 10-50TPD cottonseed oil production line is specially designed for small and medium-sized plants, featuring:

• Flexible capacity – start with pre-pressing, expand later with solvent extraction and refining.

• Lower operating cost – 20% less energy consumption and 30% less labor requirement compared to traditional setups.

• Raw material adaptability – processes cottonseed with ≤16% moisture and ≤3.5% impurities, fully compatible with local conditions.

• Moderate investment – overall project cost ranges from several hundred thousand to over one million USD, with a payback period of 3–5 years.

Fully Automatic Cottonseed Oil Processing Workflow

QIE provides standardized processing technology that meets EU food safety standards:

1. Pretreatment Section

   • Delinting → Dehulling → Kernel-hull separation (residual lint ≤8.5%)

   • Flaking → Cooking → Pre-pressing (residual oil in cake: 15–18%)

2. Pressing & Extraction

   • Pre-pressing: initial crude oil yield, residual oil ≤15%

   • Solvent extraction: hexane process reduces residual oil to ≤1%, raising oil yield up to 98% (Read more: Which is more economical: cottonseed oil pressing or solvent extraction?)

3. Refining Section

   • Five-step refining: Degumming → Neutralizing → Decolorizing → Dewaxing → Deodorizing

   • Effectively removes gossypol toxin, producing Grade 1 refined cottonseed oil
