As a core offering in Qi'e Grain and Oil Machinery Co., Ltd.'s full portfolio of grain and oil processing equipment, the single unit oil press is purpose-designed for small-scale oil production scenarios, including small processing workshops, family-owned oil mills, and decentralized local edible oil production operations. It extracts pure, natural edible oil from various oil-bearing crops through physical cold or hot pressing, avoiding chemical residues that may arise from solvent extraction, and perfectly aligns with the modern market's growing demand for healthy, additive-free edible oil.
The operation of this compact oil extraction equipment follows rigorous physical mechanics principles, completing oil separation through two core sequential stages:
Users feed raw oil seeds such as peanuts, sunflower seeds, rapeseeds, sesame or soybeans into the hopper of the single unit oil press. The rotating spiral screw continuously pushes raw materials forward inside the pressing chamber. During this process, the materials are gradually compacted, the internal pressure rises sharply, and friction generates appropriate temperature to break the oil molecular structure, separating crude oil from solid oil cake effectively. The friction heat from the rotating screw also provides mild heating for the materials, further promoting full oil release.
The crude oil mixture obtained after pressing flows through the slag perforated plate to the dedicated filtration area. It first passes through oil filter cloth to remove large-particle suspended impurities, then goes through a fine filter screen to intercept tiny residual particles. After this dual filtration process, the final output is clear, pure edible oil that meets basic sanitary standards, with no extra additives required.
This single unit oil press integrates multiple optimized designs, bringing very distinct practical value for small and medium-sized oil production operators:
| Feature Item | Practical Benefits |
|---|---|
| High Oil Yield | Adopting multi-stage pressing structure, the oil yield is 2-3 percentage points higher than traditional old models. For 100kg of processed peanuts, it can produce 2-6kg more crude oil, bringing considerable annual economic returns for small producers. |
| Energy Saving | Under the same output capacity, the power consumption is reduced by 40% compared with conventional equipment, which can save about 30 RMB in electricity cost per day based on 6 kWh hourly consumption standard. |
| Easy Operation | Equipped with one-button intelligent control function, operators can get started quickly without complex professional training, greatly lowering the threshold for new oil mill owners. |
| Labor Saving | The optimized process flow cuts labor demand by 60% under equivalent production volume, only 1-2 workers can run full operations, saving around 40 RMB of labor cost per day. |
| Wide Application | One machine supports pressing more than 30 types of oil-bearing crops, including peanut, sesame, flaxseed, rapeseed, sunflower seed, cotton seed and soybean, fully matching the diverse raw material characteristics of customers in Asia, Africa and South America. |
| Small Footprint | The compact structural design only requires 10-20 square meters of space to complete the full production layout, very suitable for small family workshops and community oil retail outlets. |
| Pure Oil Quality | Built-in vacuum filtration system effectively removes residual impurities in crude oil, making the finished oil reach the standard that meets food hygiene and quarantine requirements. |
As a cost-effective core oil pressing equipment, the single unit oil press can be used as an independent stand-alone device for small-volume production, and can also be seamlessly docked with other supporting equipment from Qi'e Grain and Oil Machinery Co., Ltd. to expand production capacity step by step:
Qi'e Grain and Oil Machinery Co., Ltd. provides customers across Asia, Africa and South America with not only this single unit oil press, but also a full set of tailored services covering process design, on-site installation guidance, technical training and after-sales support. No matter you are running a new small oil mill or planning to expand existing edible oil production capacity, we can help you configure the most suitable grain and oil processing equipment combination according to your raw material types, daily capacity demands and investment budget, to build a stable, efficient and user-friendly edible oil production operation.
