Mini Oil Mill – The Small-Scale Edible Oil Production Solution
Why Choose a Mini Oil Mill for Your Business?
The demand for locally produced, high-quality edible oils is rising globally. A mini oil mill offers an affordable and efficient way to enter the oil production industry, whether for personal use or commercial ventures. These compact yet powerful systems can process various oilseeds, including:
Peanuts (ideal for peanut oil mill setups)
Mustard seeds
Sunflower seeds
Soybeans
Coconut and palm kernels
With a daily production capacity of 1–30 tons, a small oil mill is perfect for startups and entrepreneurs seeking low-investment, high-return opportunities. Total project costs range from 6,000 to 80,000, depending on scale and automation level.
Key Components of a Mini Oil Mill Plant
1.Oil Press Machine – The Heart of Your Mill
The oil press machine is the core equipment in any mini oil mill. Two primary types are available:
- Screw Oil Press: Ideal for small-scale production, offering high oil yield with minimal residue.
- Integrated Oil Press with Filter: Combines pressing and filtration for streamlined operations.
For peanut processing, additional tools like peanut shellers and cleaning sieves improve efficiency.
2. Refining Equipment for Edible-Grade Oil
Crude oil requires refining to remove impurities (gums, waxes, free fatty acids). Key refining steps include:
- Neutralization (acid removal)
- Bleaching (color improvement)
- Deodorization (odor elimination)
The refining method depends on your raw material and production volume.
3. Auxiliary Tools for Efficient Operations
A complete mini oil mill includes:
Screw elevators (for material handling)
Cleaning sieves (seed pre-treatment)
Filter presses (oil prification)
Storage tanks (for finished oil)
These tools reduce labor, save space, and ensure consistent quality.
4. Project Costs of Mini Oil Mills
The main areas of investment in the mini oil mills are the building and machinery. Other than that, you would also have to look at the miscellaneous assets along with the P&P expenses and working capital margins. You will also have to invest in the stock of the raw materials to run the mini oil mill.
