Can I produce soybean oil and peanut oil with same cooking oil processing machine?

We often receive such inquiries from customers: Can I produce soybean oil and peanut oil with same cooking oil processing machine? We think this need to consider the specific situation, If your production scale of edible oil processing plant is small and the budget is limited, we think it is feasible. But if your production scale of edible oil processing plant is large and want to get more economic benefits, we recommend using different equipment to produce peanut oil and soybean oil.

Next I will tell you how to choose is better in different situation.

Situation 1: When the production scale is small and the processing capacity is small, use the same equipment to meet the production needs.

If your processing capacity is less than 30tpd, It shows that your production scale is not large, your investment budget is not large, and the original intention of you start this business is to make more money with small investment cost. Face this situation, you must have only bought some necessary single equipment such as: oilseeds roaster machine, cooking oil press machine and cooking oil filter machine to meet the production need. If so, we recommend you use the same cooking oil processing machine to produce peanut oil and soybean oil. But it should be noted that you'd better to do it in batch, first we produce peanut oil and then produce soybean oil. However, due to there will be peanut oil residues in the cooking oil press and filter machine, which will lead to the quality of the soybean oil produced subsequently. But don't worry, there is only a short time of 2 minutes, which is basically negligible.
