Looking for a one-stop peanut oil solution in Botswana?

Botswana's edible oil industry is gradually developing due to increasing purchasing demand from households, food processing companies, and institutions. Peanut oil (early peanut oil) is particularly relevant locally due to its nutritional value, culinary versatility, and market recognition. However, many processors still face challenges such as fragmented equipment sources, inconsistent technology, high operating costs, and limited technical support.

In Botswana, the peanut oil industry is experiencing significant growth opportunities. Leveraging its extensive technical expertise and project experience in oil processing, QIE GROUP has tailored a one-stop peanut oil solution for the Botswana market. This solution provides comprehensive engineering services covering the entire process from raw material pretreatment, pressing/extraction, and finished product refining, truly realizing the practical application of a one-stop peanut oil solution . This helps clients improve oil yield, stabilize product quality, and optimize overall return on investment.

Core process route

QIE GROUP's Botswana peanut oil solutions offer two proven and feasible mainstream process routes to match different market positioning and investment budgets:

1) Small-tonnage, strong-aroma pressing, first-grade oil processing (high-end flavor type)

This process is suitable for producing high-end peanut oil with a rich flavor and unique aroma. A typical process is as follows:
Raw material intake → Cleaning → Crushing → High-temperature steaming (approximately 150°C) → Screw press/small press → Cold filtration/coarse filtration → Degumming (cold filtration or light refining) → Filling/packaging.

Technical Highlights:

• The Maillard reaction is used to create a typical nutty aroma, resulting in differentiated high-end products.

• Using precise temperature-controlled steaming and frying and small-scale pressing equipment, flavor substances are preserved to the greatest extent;

• The process is simple and suitable for boutique oil mills or regional brand positioning.

This approach is an important option for high-value-added markets in a one-stop peanut oil solution .

2) High-capacity, high-yield integrated process (pre-pressing-leaching combined process)

This process aims to maximize oil yield and economic benefits while also taking into account oil quality, making it suitable for medium to large-scale industrial production.

The process is as follows:
Raw material cleaning → Crushing → Roasting (approximately 120°C, adjustable) → Pre-pressing (screw press) → Pre-pressed cake extraction (ring/drag chain/flat rotary extractor) → Mixed oil desolventizing → Crude oil refining (degumming → deacidification → decolorization → deodorization) → Finished oil packaging.

This process is the most economical and scalable route among Botswana's peanut oil solutions , and is suitable for export-oriented or mass-production enterprises.

Why choose Botswana's one-stop peanut oil solution?

A comprehensive one-stop peanut oil solution integrates all key production processes under a unified technological framework. Processors no longer need to manage multiple suppliers, different standards, and different spare parts systems simultaneously; instead, a single experienced partner is responsible for the entire production chain—from raw material reception to finished oil production.

Key advantages include:

• Higher oil yield – Optimized cleaning, conditioning and pressing processes reduce residual oil content in cake and meal;

• Lower production costs – the integrated design reduces energy consumption and downtime;

• More stable product quality – Controlled process conditions improve oil clarity, color, and free fatty acid (FFA) levels;

• Simplified project execution – single contract, unified technical standards, and clear division of responsibilities.
