Palm oil, as the most productive vegetable oil species in the world, the demand for its refining and processing continues to grow. As an important producer of oil and fat processing equipment, China has gathered a large number of professional manufacturers in Henan, Shandong and Hebei, offering small-scale equipment processing 1 ton per day to large-scale production lines processing more than 50 tons per day. The following is an analysis of the main suppliers and equipment types in China.
I. Core Supplier Clusters and Equipment Types
Henan Zhengzhou Industry Cluster
Guorui Oil & Grease: It mainly focuses on the fully continuous refining equipment with a daily processing capacity of 30 tons, and adopts the frame container design, which is easy for transportation and installation. Its equipment supports the integrated operation of degumming, deacidification, decolorization and deodorization, and the loss rate is lower than the industry average.
Yucheng Heavy Industry: Yucheng Heavy Industry provides 1-3 tons/day refining equipment and fractionation production line, supporting dewaxing process, suitable for high melting point palm oil fractionation. The equipment adopts modular design and supports customized expansion.
Juno Machinery: Backed by Korean technology, it launches 6YL-150 automatic oil press with a processing capacity of 500kg/h, which is suitable for small and medium-sized oil mills. Its refining equipment can realize the integration of dephosphorization, deacidification and decolorization, and the finished oil meets the national second-grade edible oil standard.
Yaoqian Machinery: Medium-sized refining equipment starts from 90,000 yuan, supporting seven processes such as desolvation, degumming and deacidification, applicable to the treatment of frying oil in food factories. The equipment is made of 304 stainless steel, and the corrosion resistance is improved by 30%.
Other regional suppliers
Huatai Grain & Oil Machinery: located in Anyang, Henan Province, offers 50 tons/day vegetable oil production line, which adopts subcritical extraction technology and reduces power consumption by 15% compared with the traditional process.
Yu grain machinery: launched coconut oil/palm kernel refining equipment, support two to six tanks configuration, suitable for multi-oil switching production.

III. Key factors in purchasing decision
Process suitability
Gross oil quality: acidity >5mg KOH/g requires enhanced deacidification process
Target oils: Edible oils need to increase deodorization link, industrial oils can simplify the process
Extraction demand: melting point difference >10 ℃ need to configure extraction equipment
Energy consumption and cost
Electricity consumption: fully continuous equipment compared with batch-type reduced by 20%-30%
Steam consumption: deodorization link accounted for 40%-50% of the overall energy consumption
Maintenance costs: automated equipment, the annual maintenance cost of the equipment is about 3%-5% of the equipment cost
After-sales service
Installation and commissioning: a professional team on-site guidance, cycle time 3-7 days accessories Installation and commissioning: professional team on-site guidance, the cycle of 3-7 days
Accessories supply: core components (such as heating tubes, stirrers) need to ensure the supply of 3 years
Technology upgrade: support for remote upgrade of PLC control system
IV. Industry trends and risks
Technology upgrade direction
Energy-saving technology: heat pump recovery system can reduce steam consumption by 30%
Intelligent: AI visual inspection system to achieve the accuracy of the impurity identification rate of > 98%
Environmental requirements: VOCs treatment devices need to meet the comprehensive emission standards for air pollutants. Environmental requirements: VOCs treatment device needs to meet the “Comprehensive Emission Standards for Air Pollutants”
Market Risks
Price Fluctuation: Palm oil futures price volatility will reach 25% in 2025, which will affect the return cycle of investment in the equipment
Policy Risks: Some regions have implemented the control of total energy consumption in new oil and grease projects
Competition Risks: Southeast Asia’s local equipment vendors are seizing the middle-end and low-end markets by virtue of their cost advantages
V. Procurement Suggestions
Requirement Assessment: Determine equipment scale according to the stability of raw material supply, target market positioning and capital budget Demand assessment: according to the stability of raw material supply, target market positioning, capital budget to determine the scale of equipment
Field inspection: focus on verifying the continuous operation stability of the equipment (72 hours of continuous testing is recommended)
Contract terms: clear acceptance standards (e.g. acid price of finished oil ≤ 0.2mg KOH/g), payment method (30% prepayment + 60% of acceptance payment + 10% warranty deposit is recommended)
Training system: the supplier is required to provide operator training (theoretical + hands-on, not less than 40 hours). (40 hours)
At present, China palm oil refining equipment industry has formed a complete industrial chain, from stand-alone equipment to turnkey projects can be localized supply. Purchasers need to combine their own strategic positioning, seek a balance between process precision, energy efficiency, after-sales service, and focus on the R&D capability and case accumulation of equipment suppliers.
