What are the differences in equipment selection between small and medium-sized peanut oil plants and large-scale peanut oil plants?

Equipment Selection Comparison and Capacity Planning Practical Guide for Small, Medium and Large peanut oil plants

Accurately selecting peanut oil equipment and rationally planning production capacity are crucial for building a peanut oil production plant. Whether you are establishing a small or medium-sized oil plant for the first time or a large oil company preparing to expand production, understanding the equipment combinations and process flows corresponding to different production capacity requirements (1-5 tons/day vs. 10-30 tons/day) is essential to maximizing oil yield and minimizing energy consumption and labor costs.

I. Understanding the Key Differences in Equipment Selection for peanut oil plants of Different Sizes

First and foremost, the selection of peanut oil processing equipment must be closely aligned with your daily processing capacity ; this is the primary guideline for capacity planning. Small and medium-sized peanut oil plants (1-5 tons/day) prioritize flexibility and space efficiency, resulting in relatively low automation and more manual operation, but also high utilization rates and a quick return on investment. Large peanut oil plants (10-30 tons/day and above) favor highly automated, high-capacity equipment to reduce human error, improve energy efficiency, and demand higher standards in overall production line design and equipment coordination.

III. Key Points for Optimizing Process Flow and Resource Utilization

A well-designed production process is key to improving oil production efficiency. QIE GROUP experts recommend strengthening the cleaning and crushing of raw materials during pretreatment to maximize subsequent pressing efficiency. An automatic temperature control system ensures stable oil composition, safeguarding high-quality peanut oil. Simultaneously, improved filtration systems reduce oil residue, saving water and electricity, achieving a win-win situation of energy conservation and environmental protection.

IV. End-to-End Matching Technology Control from Raw Materials to Finished Products

With a scientifically configured peanut oil production line , you can achieve standardized operations from raw material cleaning, drying, pretreatment, pressing, filtering, refining to finished product bottling. The key technologies at each step affect the final oil quality.

• Raw material cleaning: Effectively filters out silt and impurities, preventing equipment wear and oil contamination.
• Drying control: Moderate moisture content improves pressing efficiency
• Pre-treatment machine adjustment: precise coordination between heating temperature and crushing force
• Press load balancing: Prevents overpressure or blockage, ensuring continuous and stable oil output.
• Automatic filtration system: efficiently traps oil residue while being easy to maintain and clean.
• Packaging process: Preventing secondary contamination and ensuring long-term freshness.

V. Case Analysis: Value Enhancement Brought by Equipment Selection in Practical Application

Taking a Southeast Asian customer as an example, their initial 2-ton-per-day oil plant used a combination of small and medium-sized pretreatment machines and presses from the QIE GROUP, which was easy to operate and maintain. Within six months, the oil yield increased to 43%, energy consumption decreased by 15%, and labor hours were reduced by 30%. Subsequent expansion to 15 tons/day, with the introduction of large-scale equipment and automated auxiliary systems, resulted in an overall increase in capacity efficiency of nearly 2 times, stable oil quality, and significant positive customer feedback. This practical data fully demonstrates the importance of scientifically matching equipment with capacity planning.

When planning your peanut oil production project, do not overlook the details of the configuration. Every equipment parameter and level of automation will directly affect the factory's operational efficiency and long-term profitability.
