Glory Oiltech Wins Order for Idesia Polycarpa Fruit Oil Pressing and Refining Line for a North Korea Project

On October 30, 2026, Glory Oiltech (Henan Glory), a manufacturer of edible oil processing equipment, signed an order with a client from North Korea for a 5 TPD idesia polycarpa fruit oil pressing line and a 500 kg-per-day electric-heating oil refining plant. The equipment is intended to help the client process fruit grown on their own plantation, marking their first investment in edible oil production.

This order covers two linked stages of edible oil production: extracting crude oil from dried Idesia Polycarpa fruit and refining that crude oil into an edible product.

Client Background and Purchase Requirements

The client grows idesia polycarpa fruit and plans to process the harvested material into oil rather than sell the fruit alone. As a first-time entrant to the oil processing industry, the buyer was particularly concerned about how the equipment would be installed and put into operation.

The initial inquiry reached Glory Oiltech on September 7, 2026. During subsequent discussions, the client reviewed the equipment proposal and pricing. A visit to Glory Oiltech's factory became an important part of the purchasing decision: seeing the manufacturing facilities and production capabilities in person helped address the client's concerns about the supplier.

After the visit, the sales manager proactively explained the steps involved in equipment preparation, shipment, installation and start-up, giving the client a clearer picture of how the project would proceed. With the price, factory capabilities and installation arrangements discussed, the order was signed on October 30, 2026.

Equipment Ordered for the Idesia Polycarpa Oil Project

The order covers equipment for two linked stages of edible oil production: extracting crude oil from dried Idesia Polycarpa fruit and refining that crude oil.

5 TPD Idesia Polycarpa Oil Pressing Line

The 5 TPD idesia polycarpa oil pressing line is designed around the characteristics of dried fruit. According to Glory Oiltech's technical process for this oil crop, the dry-fruit route involves fruit separation, low-temperature roasting, two-stage mechanical pressing and oil filtration. A fruit separator removes non-oil-bearing clusters, leaves and twigs before the pressing stage; the conditioned fruit is then processed by a screw oil press machine, followed by a plate-and-frame filter.

Our company's idesia polycarpa process reference identifies approximately 8% moisture for dried fruit, about 36.6% oil content, and a typical dry-press oil yield of around 30%, with residual oil in the press cake at approximately 6–7%.

500 kg/day Electric-Heating Oil Refining Unit

The client also ordered a 500 kg/day electric-heating oil refining unit for treating crude idesia polycarpa oil. This type of small batch oil refining equipment is intended for processes such as degumming, neutralization (deacidification), bleaching and deodorization. Together, these stages help remove impurities, adjust oil quality and reduce undesirable odor and taste characteristics.

The electric-heating configuration provides a compact option for small-volume edible oil refining. In this project, the refining unit complements the ordered oil pressing equipment and gives the new producer a defined route from dried fruit to refined oil.

Why the Client Chose Glory Oiltech

A Factory Visit That Built Confidence

Rather than relying on quotations alone, the client visited Glory Oiltech's manufacturing facility. The visit provided direct evidence of the company's production capabilities and helped resolve doubts about working with a new equipment supplier.

Clear Communication About Installation

Installation was the client's leading concern. Following the factory visit, the sales manager took the initiative to discuss shipment, installation procedures and the steps required to prepare the equipment for operation. This practical explanation helped the client understand the next stages after signing.

Relevant Idesia Polycarpa Oil Processing Experience

Glory Oiltech has previous experience with idesia polycarpa, a specialty oil-bearing fruit that requires a suitable material-handling and pressing process. In Hubei, China, the company completed a 400 kg/h idesia polycarpa oil processing project, as China's first project of this type. The installation was completed on April 15, 2022.

The Hubei project used a fruit separator, roaster, oil press and plate-and-frame filter. It provides a relevant example of the company's experience in configuring oil pressing equipment for idesia polycarpa rather than applying an unchanged general-purpose oilseed process.

Planning an Idesia Polycarpa Oil Processing Project?

Glory Oiltech provides oil processing equipment, screw oil press machines and edible oil refining equipment for a range of conventional and specialty oil-bearing materials. For an idesia polycarpa project, equipment selection can be discussed around the feedstock condition, target processing capacity, product requirements and installation plan.
