Good evening folks

Hello folks

To set up a big scale palm kernel oil production factory like the one above will surely involve a pretty large amount of capital outlay. As can be seen from the above pictures, those Malaysian expellers are brand new. Each 15 tons per day capacity Muar Ban Lee expeller is about $30,000 ( about N10.8 million) and since this direct screw press method employ the double press system, it will require at least two expellers to start smoothly. There will be a need for an overhead hopper equipped with elevators and conveyors, the filter press and a standard steel storage tank. Then we have to consider the factory buildings. All these put together even without a standby electric generating set, a weigh bridge, factory vehicles, and working capital could take up to N50 million. A detailed business plan will capture the cost estimate depending on what the client (entrepreneur) wants.

However, there are other less costly options of setting up with Malaysian Muar Ban Lee. It all depends on what the investor wants and his initial capital outlay.

Good morning folks

As we said earlier, there are other less costly options such as setting up using fairly used Muar Ban Lee expellers and using good quality Nigerian assembled expellers

Good evening folks

I wish all my followers a happy weekend

Let us look at setting up with fairly used Malaysian Expellers. It is possible to start by purchasing just two fairly used Malaysian expellers and gradually grow by adding more expellers as one makes profits. It must be noted that it is best to limit your choice to either Muar Ban Lee or Kung Heng fairly used expellers particularly those equipped with Flender Gear. These models are later models and are very good and easy to maintain. Some unscrupulous vendors corner inexperienced investors and sell very older versions of these Malaysian expellers thereby plunging them into big trouble because they will end up failing in the business. These older versions have been phased out and their spare parts such pinion and crown are a big drain on crushers earnings. It is highly recommended that prospective investors should consult honest and experienced consultants to guide them.

Folks, I wish you all a happy Sunday

Good afternoon folks

Hello folks, good evening

One can actually start a simple factory with two 15 tons capacity Malaysian expellers and a Nigerian fabricated filter press machine

Good evening folks

As we said earlier a minimum-cost and viable two Malaysian expellers factory set up will consist of two fairly used Malaysian expellers (15 tons flender-gear with paramax drive), a Nigerian built Filter Press machine, a 33 tons capacity steel storage tank and sundry factory tools and equipment. We propose a total factory machine and equipment cost of N20,000,000. A conservative N5,000,000 is budgeted for a factory house and rented empty land space. For the working capital anything from N10,000,000 could get the young company going and started albeit on a shoe string budget. These will sum up to N35,000,000.

Happy weekend, folks

Let us look at the profitability and pay back period of this proposed scale of investment.

Assume that everything has been set up and the factory commissioned and ready to start production.


Estimated cost of project N35,000,000


Let us assume that we plan to produce and sell 30 tons of PKO

Raw Materials required will be 75 tons of PKN

Good evening, folks

Earlier we have seen that in palm kernel oil extracting business, the normal average yield is 40% extraction from the raw palm kernel nuts. That is to say that for illustration, if you crush 2.5 tons of good palm kernel nuts, you will get one ton of oil (PKO), 1.2 tons of cake (PKC) and 0.3 tons of sludge (PKSL).

Good morning and happy new week, folks

Let us look at the expected profits from operating with two fairly used Malaysian expellers.

Assume Current prices:

Palm kernel nuts (PKN) N127,000 per ton
Palm kernel oil (PKO) N310,000 per ton
Palm kernel cake (PKC) N40,000 per ton
Palm kernel sludge(PKSL) N90,000 per ton

Good afternoon folks

Let us assume to crush 15 tons of palm kernel nuts per day

Cost of Raw materials:
Purchases N1,905,000


Yield:

PKO 6 x 310,000=N1,860,000
PKC 7.2 x 40,000 = 288,000
PKSL 1.8 x 90,000= 162,000
Total N2,310,000


N
Sales 2,310,000
Less purchases 1,905,000
Gross Profit 405,000

Assume 50% other costs 202,500
