Frequently Asked Questions

10 TPD is our most requested configuration worldwide. It offers the best balance of investment, daily output and operational flexibility for regional commercial producers. Many clients start at 5 TPD and expand to 10–20 TPD within 2–3 years using the same workshop footprint.

Equipment investment for a complete 10 TPD line (preparation, pressing, filtration, pumps and storage) typically ranges from USD 80,000–150,000 depending on oil type, automation level and optional refining. A 5 TPD plant starts lower; a 20 TPD configuration with full prep and multiple presses is higher. We provide itemized quotations based on your layout and oil type.

Raw material volume depends on oil content. For soybean at ~18% yield, a 20 TPD plant requires roughly 110 tons of soybeans per day. For peanut at 45% yield, about 44 tons per day. For sunflower at 40% yield, about 50 tons per day. We calculate precise requirements based on your primary oilseed.

Yes. Many clients begin with pressing and filtration, then add a batch refinery when entering supermarket or export markets. Our plant layouts reserve space and utility connections for future refining modules — no need to rebuild the entire line.

Workshop floor space ranges from 280 m² for a 5 TPD plant to 800 m² for a 20 TPD line. Allow additional area for raw material storage, finished oil storage and packaging. We provide 2D layout drawings showing equipment placement, material flow and expansion zones.

Yes. Commercial screw presses handle peanut, soybean, sunflower, sesame, rapeseed and cottonseed. Some oilseeds require dehulling or different roasting settings — our engineers configure the line for your primary crop and advise on seasonal changeover procedures.

We offer complete equipment supply with layout design, installation manuals, remote video guidance and on-site engineer dispatch where available. Commissioning support includes operator training to help your plant reach design capacity safely and efficiently.
