The groundnut oil processing plant is an essential sector, particularly in regions where groundnuts are a staple crop. For entrepreneurs looking to start a small scale groundnut oil processing plant, understanding the machinery requirements is crucial for ensuring efficiency and productivity. This article takes an in-depth look at the number and types of machines are needed in a small scale groundnut oil processing plant.
Groundnuts need to be shelled before oil extraction. Shelling can not only increase the production capacity of groundnut oil processing machine and improve the efficiency of oil extraction, but also reduce the wear of groundnut oil processing machine. Groundnut shelling machine is a commonly used machine in the groundnut oil processing process.
Groundnut cleaning machine is used to remove impurities such as leaves, sticks, stones, sand, dirt, spoiled seeds and metal contaminants. Examples include magnetic selector, de-stonner and vibrating cleaning sieve. Groundnut cleaning avoids damage to other groundnut oil processing machines.

Groundnuts need to be crushed before oil extraction because of their large size. In addition, since groundnuts have a high oil content, groundnut oil flaking machine may not be required if the yield is small. The function of the groundnut crushing and flaking machine are to increase the contact area between the groundnuts and the groundnut oil pressing machine, which is more conducive to the oil press.
While not all groundnut oil processing plants roast groundnuts before oil extraction, roasting can enhance the groundnut oil's flavor and quality. Groundnut roasting machine ensures uniform heating and improves the taste of the final oil product.

The heart of the groundnut oil processing machine is the groundnut oil pressing machine, which presses the oil out of the groundnuts through mechanical force. For a small scale groundnut oil processing plant, a screw groundnut oil pressing machine is typically used due to its efficiency and moderate cost. Doing Company is your best choice for this. In addition to screw groundnut oil pressing machine, we also have integrated groundnut oil pressing machine. Integrated groundnut oil pressing machine has the unique features, such as less dimension, high oil extraction rate, low energy consumption and high automatic degree.

After oil extraction, the crude groundnut oil contains impurities that need to be removed. An groundnut oil clarification machine uses centrifugal force to separate solid particles from the liquid, improving the groundnut oil's clarity. Post-clarification, a fine filtration process is necessary to meet standards for consumer-grade groundnut oil. Plate and frame filtration machine is commonly used for this purpose. Finally, the groundnut oil is bottled and stored and can be sold.
