Palm Oil Refining Equipment Price

Palm oil, as an important raw material in the global edible oil market, the price and performance of its refining equipment directly affects the production efficiency and cost control of oil and fat processing enterprises. This article is based on June 2025 market data, combined with the offer information of mainstream equipment suppliers, to provide practitioners with palm oil refining equipment price reference and selection advice.

First, market price range analysis

According to recent market research, the price of palm oil refining equipment varies significantly due to capacity, process complexity and automation, and is mainly divided into the following three categories:

Small equipment (daily processing capacity of 0.5-2 tons)

The price range is from 50,000 yuan to 300,000 yuan, which is suitable for family workshops or small-scale processing plants. For example, the 500-type equipment of Henan Kaichuang Machinery is quoted at about 16,000 yuan, while the dephosphorization and deacidification oil refining machine (processing capacity of 1-2 tons) of Zhengzhou Yaoqian Machinery is quoted at 92,000 yuan. This kind of equipment usually contains basic functions such as degumming, dehydration, decoloration, etc., but the automation degree is low and requires manual assistance.

Medium-sized production line (daily processing capacity 1-5 tons)

The price range is 300,000 to 1 million yuan, suitable for medium-sized oil and grease processing enterprises. Henan Yucheng Cereals and Oils Machinery’s 2-t/d fractionation production line offers about 980,000 RMB, while Zhengzhou Zhiqian Machinery’s 3-t/d refining equipment offers 310,000 RMB. Medium-sized equipment is usually equipped with PLC control system, which can realize the automation of the whole process of degumming, deacidification, decolorization, deodorization, etc. and support customized configuration.

Large complete sets of equipment (daily processing capacity ≥ 200 tons)

price more than 1 million yuan, mainly for large oil and grease groups or export enterprises. Henan Zhongrui grain and oil machinery 200 tons / day production line offer about 1.05 million yuan, this kind of equipment adopts multi-tank tandem process, integrated dewaxing, fractionation and other high-end technology, and is equipped with energy recovery system to reduce energy consumption.

Second, the price of factors affecting the analysis of

process complexity

The completeness of the refining process directly affects the cost of equipment. Basic equipment contains only three steps of degumming, dehydration and decoloration, while high-end equipment needs to add deodorization, dewaxing and fractionation. For example, the price of the equipment supporting the separation of 24 degree palm liquid oil is 30%-50% higher than that of ordinary equipment.

Degree of automation

The addition of automation components such as PLC control system and online monitoring sensors will significantly increase the price of the equipment. Take Zhengzhou Yaoqian Machinery as an example, its fully automatic refining unit costs about 150,000 RMB more than semi-automatic models, but it can reduce labor costs and improve production stability.

Material and energy consumption

304 stainless steel equipment is more resistant to corrosion, but the price is 20%-30% higher than carbon steel equipment. In addition, equipped with heat exchanger, steam recovery device energy-saving equipment, although the initial investment increased by 10% -20%, but long-term operating costs can be reduced by more than 25%.

Third, the supplier and brand comparison

Henan Kaichuang Machinery

mainly small equipment, products are known for cost-effective. Its 500-type refining machine offer 16,000 yuan, suitable for start-ups with a limited budget, but note that the degree of automation of its equipment is low, the need for manual monitoring of key parameters.

Zhengzhou Zhiqian Machinery

is a leading company in the field of medium-sized equipment, with a product line covering 1-3 tons/day capacity. Its 3 tons / day refining equipment offer 310,000 yuan, support for customized process configuration, and provide 3-year warranty service, suitable for the production of high flexibility requirements of enterprises.

Henan Zhongrui Grain and Oil Machinery

is an expert in large-scale complete sets of equipment, with a quotation of RMB 1.05 million for its 200-ton/day production line. Its equipment uses German imported valves and Siemens PLC system, the failure rate is less than 0.5%, but note that its delivery cycle is longer, you need to book 6 months in advance.

Fourth, the procurement advice

Clear capacity requirements

According to the stability of raw material supply and sales channels, a reasonable choice of equipment size. For example, Southeast Asia’s palm fruit producing region enterprises can prioritize the configuration of separation equipment to produce high value-added products, while domestic processing enterprises need to focus on the generality of the equipment.

Focus on energy consumption indicators

Selecting equipment equipped with heat exchangers and steam recovery devices can reduce the energy consumption per ton of palm oil refining from 120 kWh to 80 kWh, which saves more than 200,000 yuan in electricity cost per year according to the electricity price of 0.6 yuan/kWh.

Verify supplier qualification

Suppliers are required to provide ISO 9001 quality certification, CE safety certification and similar project cases. For example, Henan Yucheng Cereal and Oil Machinery has a 50% turnaround rate, indicating a high quality of after-sales service, which reduces the risk of late maintenance.

Palm oil refining equipment procurement needs to consider the initial investment, operating costs and long-term revenue. It is recommended that enterprises according to their own size and strategic positioning, choose suppliers with technical strength and after-sales service, and prioritize the energy consumption indicators and environmental performance of the equipment.
