You're not just buying machines—you’re building a business that scales with your ambition. Whether you're starting small (50–200 kg/day) or planning for growth, the right equipment configuration can make or break your ROI.
Let’s be clear: choosing equipment without defining your daily output is like designing a car without knowing where you’ll drive it. A typical small sesame oil factory in Nigeria or Vietnam sees 100 kg/day as a realistic first goal. That means selecting a spiral press rated at 40–60 kg/hour, paired with a pre-washing unit that handles up to 150 kg/hr. This ensures no bottleneck—and keeps energy use efficient.
| Process Step | Recommended Capacity | Key Efficiency Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning | 150 kg/hr | Use water-saving ultrasonic cleaners |
| Drying | 80 kg/hr | Heat recovery reduces fuel cost by ~25% |
| Pressing | 50–60 kg/hr | Variable frequency motor cuts electricity use by 15–20% |
In one real case, a startup in Ghana used modular units to start with 70 kg/day and scaled to 150 kg/day within 8 months—without replacing any core machine. The secret? Modular design lets you add capacity incrementally instead of over-investing upfront.
“We saved $4,200 in the first year alone by using heat recovery and smart scheduling.” – Ayodele, owner of Golden Seed Oil Co., Accra
Think of each process—cleaning, drying, pressing—as a puzzle piece. When they fit together seamlessly, waste drops, uptime rises, and operators learn faster. For example, our clients report a 30% reduction in downtime when using standardized connectors between modules. And yes, even if you're new to food processing, this system makes training intuitive—not overwhelming.
Here's what most overlook: automation isn't just about saving labor—it's about consistency. Automated temperature control during filtration improves oil clarity by up to 40%, which matters when selling premium products to EU buyers who demand quality documentation.
Don’t guess. Test. We’ve helped hundreds of entrepreneurs—from India to Kenya—build production lines tailored to their local market, power supply, and labor availability. Our high-purity sesame oil extraction systems come with full installation support, on-site training, and remote diagnostics. No more “hopeful trial-and-error” — just proven results.
