The Current Situation and Challenges in Small and Medium - scale Peanut Oil Production

In the realm of small and medium - scale peanut oil production, producers often grapple with a series of pressing issues. Efficiency has long been a pain point. Traditional extraction methods are time - consuming, with an average production rate of only about 100 - 150 liters of peanut oil per day for small - scale operations. This low productivity not only fails to meet market demand but also leads to high production costs.

Environmental concerns are another significant challenge. Outdated extraction techniques generate a large amount of waste, including oil - rich residues and polluted water. These waste products pose a threat to the environment and also increase the cost of waste treatment for producers. Against this backdrop, there is an urgent need for a solution that can address both efficiency and environmental issues.

Features of the Medium - sized Environment - friendly and High - efficiency Peanut Oil Extractor

Compact Design and Easy Operation

This peanut oil extractor features a compact design, occupying only about 5 - 8 square meters of floor space. It is very user - friendly, with a simple control panel that allows operators with minimal training to start the machine. The operation process is straightforward, reducing the need for a large and highly - skilled workforce.

Multiple Material Options

Producers can choose from different materials for the key components of the extractor, such as stainless steel or high - strength alloy. Stainless steel components are corrosion - resistant, suitable for long - term use in humid environments, while high - strength alloy components offer greater durability and can withstand high - pressure operations.

High - efficiency Pressing and Energy Conservation

The extractor can extract up to 45 - 50% of the oil from peanuts in a single pass, significantly higher than the industry average of 35 - 40%. At the same time, it is energy - efficient, consuming about 20 - 30% less electricity compared to traditional extractors. This not only improves productivity but also reduces production costs.

Environmental - friendliness

The machine is designed with environmental protection in mind. It has a built - in waste treatment system that can recycle and reuse most of the waste generated during the extraction process. For example, the oil - rich residues can be further processed into animal feed, reducing environmental pollution and waste.

Market Positioning: Africa and Europe

This peanut oil extractor is mainly targeted at the African and European markets. In Africa, there is a large demand for peanut oil due to its popularity in local cuisine. However, many local producers are still using outdated extraction methods. This extractor can help them improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and expand their market share.

In Europe, consumers are increasingly concerned about environmental protection and healthy food. The environmental - friendly and high - efficiency features of this extractor meet the requirements of European producers who want to produce high - quality, sustainable peanut oil. Moreover, the European market has strict regulations on food production equipment, and this extractor complies with relevant standards.

Customer Case and Data

A peanut oil producer in Nigeria purchased this extractor last year. Before using the new machine, their daily production was about 120 liters of peanut oil, and the production cost per liter was about $1.5. After using the extractor, their daily production increased to 250 liters, and the production cost per liter dropped to about $1.2. The profit margin increased by about 30%.

In a European peanut oil factory, after adopting this extractor, they reduced their carbon emissions by 25% due to energy conservation and waste recycling. This not only helped them meet environmental regulations but also enhanced their brand image in the market.
