What's the Best Machine to Start the Palm Oil Business as a Fresh Starter?

Starting a palm oil business? Choosing the right palm oil processing machine is your crucial first step. For fresh starters, we recommend three proven solutions based on your scale, budget, and long-term goals.

1. 500kg/h Single Screw Palm Oil Press

This compact press is ideal for family-run operations or small farms. It processes up to 500kg of palm fruits per hour with minimal maintenance.

Key advantages:

(1) Durable screw material: Made from 2Cr13 wear-resistant alloy steel, it lasts up to 6 months—far longer than standard carbon steel screws.

(2) Anti-clog design: Each screw is polished before delivery to ensure smooth flow and consistent performance.

(3) Dual power options: Choose between a 4kW motor or 8hp diesel engine—perfect for areas with unstable electricity.

2. 1tph Double Screw Palm Oil Press

If you're ready to scale up, this press handles 1–2 tons per hour with higher efficiency and lower residual oil.

1tph double screw palm oil press

Key advantages:

(1) Dual-screw design: Creates higher pressure and better oil yield, especially for palm fruit processing. The relative rotation of the screws and the decreasing gap towards the outlet maximize pressure for lower residual oil.

(2) Hydraulic control: Easy push-button operation for pressure adjustment reduces clogging and manual effort, ensuring smoother operation.

(3) Scalable Investment: This machine can be directly integrated into a larger palm oil production line when you're ready to grow.

3. Simple Palm Oil Production Line

This simple palm oil production line, available in both 500kg/h and 1tph capacities, provides a complete solution. It includes a thresher, an oil press, a vibrating screen, and a plate filter.

The following describes the function of each machine:

(1) Thresher (1-2t/h): Separates fruits from bunches and the separate rate can reach more than 98%.

(2) Oil Press (500kg/h or 1t/h): Extracts crude palm oil with high yield.

(3) Vibrating Screen: Removes light impurities like stones and fibers.

(4) Plate Filter: Eliminates fine impurities for clean CPO.

This compact, low-investment palm oil production line is ideal for farms with 110–220 hectares of plantation.
