Start Industrial Scale Groundnut Oil Production Business

Groundnut oil, which is also referred to as peanut oil or Arachis oil, is a common vegetable oil resulting from the compression of groundnut kernels. Groundnuts are native to tropical regions and its uses are very popular especially in Asian cuisines. This type of vegetable oil is used for various uses in cooking, including basting or frying for instance. (Read more about how to start groundnut oil mill business in India >>)

What are Main Machinery Involved in the production of Groundnut Oil? 

In most peanut oil mill plant, the processing of raw peanuts can be grouped into three main stages: Preparation of the Seeds; Oil Pressing and Oil Refining. Each phase will include many activities all for the creation and distribution of the final product to final customers.

The Preparation of the Seeds

  • Shelling Machine

The extraction of groundnut oil starts with the shelling (also called dehulling). The nuts are generally purchased and stored inside their shells, which have to be removed for the production of oil. Shelling can be done either by hand or by machine processing. To evaluate a sheller machine, the features observed include the percentage of broken kernels which should be minimized. However, when the kernels are used for oil-production, the percentage of broken seeds is not as relevant as the nuts will be broken down during the process anyway.

Any sand, stalk, stones, plant material or other impurities also need to be removed before moving to the next stage. No foreign material can contaminate the oil as it will not only affect quality but also the safety of the final product. Dry screening techniques might be used to remove over or undersized raw material. The shelling and cleaning also usually involve the size-reduction of the nuts, which are breaking them and adjusted in terms of moisture content and temperature by heating the seeds for some minutes. The reduction of seed-size is beneficial to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the following phases.

  • Grinding Machine

Grinding is the process involving the reduction of the size of the groundnuts and it also involves further checking for damaged and moldy seeds which should be discarded and appropriately treated or destroyed. Losses that are higher than 5% are not acceptable in an efficient business model.

The grinding process should be carried only for "graded" nuts. The groundnuts are crushed to reduce their size for better and more efficient pressing for the production of the vegetable oil. The smaller size increases surface area for optimizing oil extraction. Grinding can be done either by hand (with mortar and pestle) or through the use of a crushing machine.

Groundnut Oil Pressing Process

  • Heating / Cooking Machine

Heating is an important part of vegetable seed oil production process as it helps in breaking down the cell walls of the nuts and the enzymes responsible for the deterioration of the seed and thus facilitating the oil extraction production and increasing the overall quality of the final oil product.

Screw oil pressing machine is suitable for both small scale and medium scale peanut oil production line. Through strong friction, high temperatures and high pressure, oil is finally pressed out from the nut. The oil is released through small openings at the bottom of the pressing chamber.

According to the oil content of the seeds, the yield per batch might vary. Keeping a record of the amount of oil expressed by each batch is highly beneficial to any type of producer or business. It helps to assess the efficiency and uncover any potentials for improvement. Don't hesitate to contact for details and cost of our groundnut oil machine.

Groundnut Oil Refining Process

  • Oil Refinery Machine

The crude oil that has been pressed will come out in a slightly cloudy version due to the presence of air and small particles. This is why filtering is an essential phase of the refining process. The filtered oil will be pumped to the refinery for neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization of the crude oil for edible consumption. (Related Post: Cost of Setting Up Edible Oil Plant)

  • Groundnut Oil Storage

Together with all the activities involved in the production of the groundnut oil, It is essential to properly store the refined oil after production until delivery to the final customers.
Storage should happen in an environment with the right temperature and humidity level. Any contact with air and or water should be avoided or at least minimized to avoid the effects of rancidity on the oil.

Organizing the Sale of Groundnut Oil 

The industry of groundnut oil is profitable and entails great export potential. Groundnuts are popular sources of food and their oil is popular in the cooking industry. Not only for individual uses but also as a base for confectionaries in the industrial food industry. Additionally, it might be used to make peanut butter. One of the major world exporters in India, for which groundnut oil ranks the top of edible oils exported goods.

  • Organizing the Sale of the Oil 

Depending on the size of the business processing groundnuts for oil production and on the market environment, some selling strategies might be more suitable than others.
Some selling strategies include:

  • Bulk Sales involve lowering the selling price and focus on high-volume sales where package material is minimized

  • Wholesale Bottled Sales; involve a higher selling price but additional costs include bottling and higher labor costs. A brand name can be established and included in the bottle for marketing purposes.

  • Direct Retailing; this option allows a business to have control of the selling price of the oil, and maybe lower the price for loyal customers.

To identify an appropriate sale strategy, a market survey is essential, to investigate the potential customers, the selling price, the size of the market and the likely demand as well as the distribution methods.

  • Pricing the Groundnut Oil 

Setting a price for a final product can be a tricky cost. Direct costs should be included (such as production costs, packaging, labor) as well as the cost of promotion and transportation.
There should be a market investigation and an analysis of the competition to specify a price that is in line with the market expectations and makes the product a competitive choice.
