Oil Pressing
Mechanical oil pressing uses an oil press to separate oil from prepared oilseeds. It can be considered for projects that require a direct mechanical oil recovery route, including small and commercial-scale applications.
A complete edible oil production line connects raw material preparation with oil recovery and quality improvement.
Qi'e Grain and Oil Machinery Co., Ltd. provides edible oil processing solutions covering oil pressing equipment, vegetable oil solvent extraction equipment, and edible oil refining equipment. The production system can be configured according to the oilseed, desired process, project scale, and production capacity. This allows processors to plan a suitable route from oilseed processing to refined edible oil production.
An edible oil production line is an integrated processing system used to recover oil from oilseeds and improve the quality, stability, appearance, and storage performance of the resulting oil. Depending on the raw material and project requirements, the system may include mechanical pressing, vegetable oil solvent extraction, and edible oil refining.
The main objective is not only to obtain oil, but also to manage impurities and quality characteristics through appropriate processing stages. Qi'e equipment solutions are suitable for a range of vegetable oils, including soybean oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, palm oil, and cottonseed oil.

Solvent extraction is another oil recovery route for vegetable oil processing. The appropriate equipment configuration depends on the oilseed, required capacity, process design, and the operating requirements of the project.
Refining equipment is used to further process crude vegetable oil by managing substances such as phospholipids, pigments, moisture, odor components, and waxes where required.
Qi'e edible oil refining equipment is designed for integrated treatment of different vegetable oils. The refining configuration may include the following stages:
| Refining stage | Primary purpose |
|---|---|
| Degumming | Helps remove phospholipids and related gummy substances from crude oil. |
| Neutralization | Supports the treatment of unwanted acidic components in the oil. |
| Bleaching | Helps reduce color-related impurities and improve oil appearance. |
| Deodorization | Uses high-temperature vacuum distillation to remove undesirable odor and flavor components. |
| Dewaxing or fractionation | Can be added when wax or stearin separation and improved oil quality are required. |
The edible oil refining equipment supplied by Qi'e can be configured for production capacities from 1 to 500 TPD. This range supports different project sizes, from small edible oil refining facilities to larger commercial processing plants.
The final equipment selection should consider the oilseed type, crude oil characteristics, required refining stages, target capacity, available utilities, operating conditions, and local project requirements. A capacity-oriented design helps avoid selecting equipment that is either unsuitable for the feedstock or mismatched with the planned production scale.
With a focus on technological innovation, product quality, and service, Qi'e Grain and Oil Machinery Co., Ltd. supplies oil pressing equipment, oil production line equipment, and edible oil refining equipment for international B2B projects. The company serves customers across Asia, Africa, South America, and other markets, supporting project planning with practical equipment and technical solutions.
For a suitable edible oil production line, share your oilseed type, target capacity, required processing route, and refining objectives with Qi'e. The technical team can then help evaluate the appropriate pressing, extraction, and refining configuration for your project.
