Client Background
The client wishes to build a 30 metric tons per day (30TPD) soybean oil extraction plant, which is a typical medium-scale project featuring mature technology and a well-established equipment supply chain. The client’s goal is to achieve a unique flavor profile and establish a distinct market position. Therefore, our engineers have designed a “full-press” process for the client. The resulting oil has a richer flavor, aligning with certain consumers' preference for "traditional" and "physically pressed" oils.

The core production process is primarily divided into three stages, which are detailed below.

Three Core Production Stages

A complete 30TPD soybean oil plant typically consists of the following three main workshops:

• Pretreatment Plant

Core Task: Remove impurities (such as stones and metal) from the soybeans, and perform processes such as crushing, softening, and flaking. Flaking presses the soybeans into thin flakes measuring 0.3–0.5 millimeters to break down the cellular structure, preparing them for subsequent oil extraction.

Key Equipment: Cleaning screens, magnetic separators, crushers, softening machines, flaking machines, etc.

• Oil Extraction Plant
  

The customer employs the pressing method, which extracts oil through physical compression, thereby preserving the natural flavor of the soybeans. A production capacity of 30 TPD falls well within the scope of this process.

• Refining Plant (Oil Refinery Plant)

Core Mission: To refine the extracted crude oil to meet national Class I edible oil hygiene standards. The main processes include degumming, neutralization (alkali refining), decoloring, and deodorization. Among these, the use of vacuum deodorization technology effectively preserves oil quality and prevents high-temperature oxidation.

Henan Province in China is a major industrial cluster for oil and fat processing equipment. Henan Taixing Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. provides complete sets of equipment for this scale and offers turnkey services ranging from plant design and equipment manufacturing to installation and commissioning.

The 30TPD plant solution involves multiple supporting components, including the production facility, electrical systems, and boilers.
