Large oil press price analysis: market positioning and purchase strategy

As the core equipment in the oil processing industry, the price of large oil press is affected by multiple factors such as technical parameters, production scale, brand premium and market supply and demand. This article combines the latest market data in 2025 to analyze the price range, technical differences, industry trends and other dimensions to provide reference for purchasing decisions.

I. Price range and equipment grading
According to public trading data, the price of large oil presses shows obvious stratification
Basic equipment: 10,000-50,000 yuan
Small commercial screw oil presses are mainly used in township oil mills or individual processors. For example, a 125-type walnut oil press supports rapeseed and soybean multi-oilseed pressing and is priced at about 14,900 yuan; another fully automatic hydraulic sesame oil press (vertical structure) is priced at 11,900 yuan, emphasizing the low-temperature cold pressing process for sesame oil.
Mid-range automation equipment: 50,000-200,000 yuan
Equipment in this price range is mostly equipped with temperature control system and continuous operation capability. For example, a company in Henan launched a 150-type cold and hot dual-purpose oil press, which supports more than 10 kinds of oilseeds such as peanuts and walnuts, priced at RMB 34,500 yuan; Guangzhou Xuzong’s commercial automatic oil press is priced at RMB 41,200 yuan due to its modular design, which allows for the fast switching of different oilseeds such as soybean and linseed.
High-end intelligent production line: 200,000-1.5 million yuan
Large oil processing enterprises tend to choose integrated equipment. The refined oil production line launched by an enterprise in Hubei includes automatic labeling and dewaxing system, priced at RMB288,000; the 300-t/d production line of Henan Zhongrui Grain and Oil Machinery is equipped with intelligent monitoring and fault warning, with a price tag of more than one million yuan.
Second, the technical differences and cost composition
The price difference mainly stems from the following technical parameters:
Pressing process
Hydraulic oil press: through high-pressure physical extrusion, suitable for walnuts, almonds and other high-value oilseeds, but the processing capacity is limited.
Screw oil press: characterized by continuous operation, suitable for bulk oilseeds such as soybean, rapeseed, etc., with about 30% lower energy cost.
Degree of automation
Fully automated equipment with integrated PLC control system can reduce manual intervention. For example, a brand of equipment realizes automatic feeding of raw materials and automatic discharge of cake and residue, which improves the efficiency by 40% compared with traditional models, but the initial investment increases by 15%-20%.
Material and durability
Equipment that uses 304 stainless steel for oil contact parts has an extended service life of 8-10 years, but the price is 25%-35% higher than carbon steel models.
Market Trends and Purchasing Suggestions
Industry Dynamics
Technology upgrade: low-temperature cold-pressing technology has increased its market share by 12% annually because it retains more nutrients; intelligent monitoring system has become a standard feature of high-end models.
Policy-driven: environmental protection requirements have prompted enterprises to eliminate high-energy-consumption equipment, and demand for energy-saving oil presses has surged.
Purchasing Strategy
Clarify demand: enterprises with daily processing capacity below 5 tons can choose mid-range equipment; enterprises with daily processing capacity above 10 tons need to configure integrated production line for pre-treatment and refining.
Vendor evaluation: Priority is given to vendors that provide more than 3 years of warranty and 24-hour response service. For example, an enterprise in Henan Province has helped its customers increase the oil yield by 5%-8% through the overall solution of “equipment + process”.
Cost control: There are compliance risks in the used equipment market, so it is recommended to choose manufacturers with refurbishment certification, and the price is about 60%-70% of the new machine.
IV. Risk Tips
Low price trap: some low-priced equipment with poor quality motors or simplified structure, failure rate of up to 40%, maintenance costs may exceed the residual value of the equipment.
Technical adaptation: blindly imported equipment may lead to process mismatch. For example, the European model introduced by an enterprise is not adapted to the characteristics of domestic oilseeds, and the oil yield is 15% lower than expected.
The procurement of large-scale oil presses needs to balance the initial investment and long-term benefits. It is recommended that purchasers combine the characteristics of raw materials, production scale, environmental protection requirements and other core elements, choose suppliers with mature technology and perfect service, to avoid the hidden cost increase caused by equipment selection errors.
