Soybean oil press as the core equipment of the grain and oil processing industry, its technology iteration and the evolution of the market pattern profoundly affects the ecology of the upstream and downstream industry chain. At present, China’s soybean oil press production field has formed in Henan, Shandong, Hebei as the core of the industrial cluster, emerging a number of both technical strength and market reputation of the leading enterprises. In this paper, we will analyze the core competitiveness of soybean oil press manufacturers and industry development trend from the technical breakthroughs, market layout, user needs in three dimensions.
First, technological innovation: from the traditional process to intelligent upgrade
1. Energy efficient technology breakthroughs
Henan Xuyang Cereals and Oil Machinery Co., Ltd. as a representative of the enterprise, through the modular design, PLC control system and remote monitoring platform, to achieve the whole process automation of soybean oil refining equipment. The refining production line with a daily output of 200 tons reduces energy consumption by 30%, wastewater discharge by 50% and oil purity by 99.8% compared with traditional equipment. This technological breakthrough not only meets the large-scale needs of large-scale oil and grease enterprises, but also provides an economical solution for small and medium-sized workshops.
Shandong Jinan Huade Machinery, on the other hand, through the multi-stage propulsion and progressive pressurization technology, makes the pressure of the press chamber increase rapidly, and cooperates with the infrared temperature control system to realize the one-time fission and separation of the oil material. Its 160-type oil press can achieve a processing capacity of 0.6 tons of soybeans per hour, with a 24-hour capacity of 14.4 tons, making it the first choice of small and medium-sized oil mills for its high oil yield and stability.
2. Differentiated competition of cold pressing process
Under the trend of healthy consumption, cold pressing technology has become the focus of competition in the high-end market. Zhengzhou Zhiqian Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. launched the 130-type cold press, through the low-temperature screw pressing process, to maximize the retention of soybean nutrients, its oil yield is lower than the hot press 5-8%, but the oil price can be increased by more than 30%, mainly in the service of high-end edible oil brands and organic farms.
3. Integration of Intelligence and Internet of Things
Some enterprises have begun to explore the application of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in oil extraction equipment. For example, the screw oil press of Henan Guorui Oil & Grease Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. realizes real-time monitoring and fault warning of equipment operation data through the integration of IoT module, and users can remotely adjust the pressing parameters through cell phone APP to reduce the cost of manual intervention.
Market pattern: regional clusters and brand differentiation
1. Henan Gongyi: Industrial Highland of Screw Oil Press Machine
As the core base of China’s oil press industry, Henan Gongyi City gathers dozens of enterprises, such as Kaichuang Machinery, Qifeng Machinery and Hongqi Machinery. These enterprises have screw oil presses as their main products, with a price range of 6,000 yuan to 80,000 yuan, mainly for small and medium-sized oil mills and rural cooperatives. Their products are known for their high cost performance, but the competition is fierce in homogenization and the technology iteration speed is relatively slow.
2. Jinan, Shandong: whole industry chain service model
With 20 years of experience in the industry, Jinan Huade Machinery has built a whole industry chain system from equipment development, production to after-sales service. Its user cases cover 30,000 oil mills and oil factories across the country, and it provides customized solutions for different customer needs. For example, the “freshly pressed, freshly sold” model designed for Liaoning Shenyang city oil presses realizes the visualization of the whole process from raw materials to finished products through the intelligent vertical hose automatic suction feeding system, which enhances the trust of consumers.
3. Brand differentiation: from price war to value competition
With the intensification of market competition, the head of the enterprise began to enhance the premium ability through brand building and technical barriers. For example, Qingjiang Cereal & Oil Machinery has become the drafting unit of the national standard for agricultural screw presses with 70 years of industry accumulation; Yijiaji Cereal & Oil Machinery has built a rapid response service system through more than 20 direct sales branches and 100 after-sales service outlets across the country. Small and medium-sized manufacturers compete for the rural market through the low price strategy, but product quality and after-sales service varies.
User demand: from a single device to a comprehensive solution
1. Small and medium-sized oil mills: cost-effectiveness and ease of operation
For small and medium-sized oil mills with a daily processing capacity of 1-5 tons, the cost of equipment purchase and ease of operation are the core factors for consideration. The jc120 automatic oil press from Linyi Mall Jucai Oil Pressing Machinery Sales Center has become a popular choice in the rural market with its affordable price of RMB 8,700 and easy operation of “connecting to electricity for production”. With a processing capacity of 180kg/h and an oil yield of 40%-50%, it can meet the basic needs of small and medium-sized oil mills.
2. Large enterprises: capacity and customized services
For large-scale oil and grease enterprises with a daily processing capacity of over 100 tons, the capacity of the equipment and the ability of customized service are crucial. Henan Xuyang Grain & Oil Machinery’s 200-ton per day refining equipment supports capacity expansion through modular design and can be configured with pretreatment, pressing and refining solutions according to customer needs. Its customers cover headline companies such as Luhua and Jinlongyu, with a repurchase rate of over 65%.
3. Healthy Consumption Trend: Cold Pressed and Organic Certification
As consumer demand for healthy fats and oils grows, cold pressing technology and organic certification have become the new favorites in the market. Zhengzhou Zhiqian Machinery’s cold press and Jinan Huade Machinery’s walnut oil pressing equipment have both passed organic certification, and supporting refining equipment to improve oil quality. For example, Longda Food’s walnut oil production line that uses Huade Machinery’s cold pressing and refining equipment, and its products have entered the high-end supermarket channels.
Fourth, the future outlook: technology iteration and market integration
The direction of technology iteration: the integration of intelligence, energy saving and cold pressing process will become mainstream. For example, through AI algorithms to optimize the pressing parameters, to further improve the oil yield and oil quality; the development of new energy-saving materials to reduce the energy consumption of equipment.
Trend of market consolidation: Head enterprises will expand market share through M&A and strategic cooperation, while small and medium-sized manufacturers will need to transform into niche areas, such as focusing on organic oilseed processing or the rural market.
Policies and standards: With the state’s emphasis on food and oil safety, the environmental standards and energy efficiency certification of oil extraction equipment will be more stringent, forcing enterprises to upgrade technology.
The competition of soybean oil press manufacturers has shifted from single equipment sales to whole industry chain service and technological innovation. In the future, only enterprises that continue to make breakthroughs in the three dimensions of energy saving, intelligence and health will be able to stand out in the fierce market competition.
Henan Zhongrui Grain is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the research, development, manufacture and sales of oil press equipment, and has been deeply engaged in the field of oil processing for more than ten years. The company integrates design, production and testing, and its products cover screw oil press, hydraulic oil press, automatic refining production line, etc., which are suitable for rapeseed, peanut, soybean, sesame and other oilseeds, and help customers to realize efficient, energy-saving and environmentally friendly oil and grease production.
