Cost to Build an Edible Oil Refinery Plant

 Key Factors Affecting Investment Costs

 Production Scale (Daily Processing Volume): This is the primary factor determining cost. The investment required for a small edible oil refining plant processing 10 tons of crude oil per day versus a large plant processing 300 tons per day will differ significantly.

Refining Grade: Do you plan to produce first-grade, second-grade, or premium-grade oil? Higher-grade oils require more complex cooking oil refining processes (degumming, deacidification, decolorization, deodorization, etc.), and the equipment investment will also be higher.

 Raw Material Type: The process flow and equipment configuration for refining soybean oil, rapeseed oil, peanut oil, rice bran oil, or palm oil vary, which will affect the final price.

 Degree of Automation: Fully automated PLC-controlled edible oil refining production lines can significantly reduce labor, but the initial investment is higher than semi-automatic or manual lines.

 Plant and Infrastructure: Is there an existing plant? Land, plant construction, and supporting water and electricity facilities are also significant expenses.

Small Cooking Oil Refinery (1-30 tons per day)

Target Targets: Local edible oil mills, agricultural cooperatives, and small and medium-sized investors.

Refining Grade: Mostly semi-refined (second and third grade oils) or flavored oils with specific aromas.

Equipment Estimate: A basic semi-continuous or batch refinery typically costs between several hundred thousand and over one million RMB. Henan Huatai Oil Machinery offers a variety of modular designs, allowing for flexible configuration based on budget.

 Medium-sized Cooking Oil Refinery (50-100 tons per day)

Suitable for: Companies planning to establish a brand and expand their regional market presence.

Refining Grade: Typically, a full set of edible oil equipment is available for producing first-grade oil (deodorization is crucial).

Equipment Estimate: A highly automated continuous or semi-continuous refinery line is the mainstream choice in the market. Equipment investment typically ranges from several million to over ten million RMB. Henan Huatai Oil Machinery has extensive experience in such projects and can provide cost-effective, stable cooking oil production lines.

 Large-Scale Cooking Oil Refinery (150 tons per day or more)

Suitable for: Large grain and oil groups and import and export traders.

Refining Grade: A fully automated, highly efficient first-grade edible oil production line.
