How Do I Start An Edible Oil Mill, And What Are The Costs Involved? by Goyum(m): 9:23am On Feb 19, 2020
Edible oil consumption is increasing from year to year with the improvement in human economic standard of living, so have you ever thought of setting up a edible oil mill that can not only meet your daily oil consumption, But also cater to regional markets. Earn a penny? If the answer is yes, then you have found the right place!

How to estimate the cost for setting up a small oil mill plant?

For small scale business types, the basic concept of a small oil mill needs to be taken into account to be fully capable of maximizing investment. For a small oil mill plant, there are elements to consider in determining the total cost of running such a business.

Plant field cost for edible oil milling equipment

For any business, adequate space is necessary to have the necessary manpower to keep and operate equipment. For this one, it does not require a large work space and 6 square meters of space may be sufficient. The space should not be too large to save on overhead costs.

Cost of purchasing oil mill machinery

In the process of extracting oil from vegetable oilseeds, oil mill machinery is required. They are not as vast as in any other manufacturing industries, but are specific to every stage of the equipment process:

Cooking Machine: A cooker is the essential machine for heating seeds at a certain temperature. Heat for seeds, such as rapeseed, flowering seeds, can ensure maximum oil yield. Some cookers are designed to supply electricity by steam from recycled dry waste. For convenience, there are also electric boilers as options.

Oil presses: Screw oil presses are widely adopted by the smallest oil mill plant to serve as major oil extraction equipment. Nowadays, oil presses have greatly improved in automatically and performance. It squeezes the oil from the raw material by mechanical pressure to ensure no additive in the crude oil.

Oil filter: When the oil is pressed or expelled from the seeds and nuts, the oil that comes out has to undergo a cooking oil refining process. The same goes for filters. For large industries, vegetable oil refinery plants perform this process, but for small-scale one, oil filter presses may suffice. Additional costs may come from other substances that may further improve oil quality. These substances may be from different suppliers. An example is alkaline solutions that can reduce the saturation of oils before packing. Unsaturated oils are not rancid for longer than those with high levels of saturation.

Manpower cost to run oil mill plant

The final consideration for the cost of a small oil mill plant is labor cost. Many people are not required to run this kind of business. Two people who can carry out the processes and two who can manage administrative duties are enough to keep a small business running. Of course, investing on highly-trained quality assurance personnel will also be beneficial to ensure that customer satisfaction is guaranteed. Like a lot of small-scale businesses, sustainability is the key to maintaining this type of business. The same goes for raw materials, equipment and manpower. If the business is anchored on practical principles and social responsibility, the cost of running the business will not be very high.
