What Is a 1tph Small Scale Palm Oil Processing Line? Equipment, Process and Price Guide

Date: June 18, 2026

For many small palm plantation owners, agricultural cooperatives and startup investors, choosing the right palm oil processing equipment is one of the most important decisions when entering the palm oil business. The most common questions include: What equipment is included? How much does it cost? How many workers are needed? How much space is required?

To help investors start palm oil production with lower investment and lower operational risks, Henan Glory has developed an economical 1TPH small scale palm oil processing line. This installation-free palm oil production line is specially designed for small and medium-sized investors who need a complete turnkey solution with reliable performance, compact structure, low operating cost and professional technical support.

How Does a 1TPH Palm Oil Processing Line Work?

The complete palm oil production process follows a proven workflow:

Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) → Sterilization → Threshing → Digestion → Pressing → Oil Clarification and Filtration → Vacuum Drying → Crude Palm Oil Storage

This process helps maximize oil extraction efficiency while maintaining stable oil quality.

What Equipment Is Included in a 1TPH Palm Oil Processing Line?

This turnkey palm oil processing plant includes all equipment required to convert fresh fruit bunches (FFB) into qualified crude palm oil.

Sterilization Section

- Palm fruit sterilization tanks

- Hot water tank

- Steam heating system

The sterilization process deactivates lipase enzymes, reduces free fatty acid (FFA) formation, softens palm fruits and prepares them for efficient processing.

Threshing Section

- Palm fruit thresher

The drum-type thresher separates palm fruits from empty fruit bunches (EFB) with a threshing rate of up to 99%, minimizing fruit loss and improving processing efficiency.

Pressing Section

- Double screw palm oil press

The double screw palm oil press efficiently extracts crude palm oil and protects palm kernels from excessive breakage.

Oil Clarification and Filtration Section

- Oil clarification tank

- Vibrating screen

- Plate filter press

This section removes fiber, sludge and impurities from crude palm oil to improve cleanliness and quality.

Vacuum Drying Section

- Vacuum drying system

The vacuum drying process reduces moisture content and improves oil storage stability.

Supporting Systems

- Electric control cabinet

- Operating platforms

- Pipes and valves

- Cables

- Installation accessories

Users only need to prepare power supply and oil storage tanks before production can begin.

What Makes This 1TPH Palm Oil Processing Plant Different?

Installation-Free Modular Design

One of the biggest advantages of this palm oil processing line is its installation-free modular structure.

The complete line is divided into three integrated modules:

- Sterilization module

- Threshing and pressing module

- Filtration and drying module

Most assembly work is completed before shipment. This significantly reduces installation time and minimizes dependence on professional technicians.

For customers in Africa, Southeast Asia and other palm-growing regions, this design helps shorten project implementation time and reduce installation costs.

Convenient Transportation

The entire line can be shipped in only three high-cube containers, reducing transportation costs and simplifying logistics management.

Compact Workshop Requirement

The recommended workshop size is:

- Length: 12 m

- Width: 12 m

- Height: 8 m

The compact layout minimizes land occupation and civil construction costs.

How Much Power and Labor Does the Line Require?

One of the key advantages of this small scale palm oil processing plant is its low operating cost.

Power Consumption

- Total installed power: 53.2 kW

The energy-efficient design makes the line suitable for regions with unstable or limited power supply.

Labor Requirement

- Daily operators required: 4–5 workers

The operation process is simple and easy to learn, helping reduce long-term labor costs.

Flexible Heating Method

The sterilization system supports biomass fuel heating.

Users can utilize locally available low-cost fuels such as:

- Palm fiber

- Palm kernel shells

- Wood chips

- Agricultural waste

This significantly lowers fuel expenses and improves project profitability.

How Does This Line Improve Oil Yield and Oil Quality?

Although it is an economical palm oil processing line, its performance fully meets industrial production requirements.

High Oil Yield

The double screw palm oil press adopts hydraulic automatic pressure adjustment technology, ensuring stable pressing performance and high oil extraction efficiency.

Effective FFA Control

Free fatty acid (FFA) content is one of the most important indicators of palm oil quality.

Fresh fruit bunches should ideally be processed within 24 hours after harvesting to avoid rapid FFA increase.

The sterilization process quickly deactivates lipase enzymes and helps maintain low FFA levels, resulting in higher-quality crude palm oil.

Low Moisture Content

After clarification, filtration and vacuum drying, the final palm oil moisture content can be reduced to ≤0.2%.

This helps improve storage stability and extends shelf life to approximately six months under suitable storage conditions.

Compared with larger industrial palm oil mill plants, this solution offers a much lower investment threshold while maintaining professional production performance.

Frequently Asked Questions About 1TPH Palm Oil Processing Line

Q1: What fuel can be used for the sterilization system?

A: The sterilization system supports biomass fuel heating and can utilize palm fiber, palm kernel shells, wood chips and other agricultural waste as fuel.

Q2: Is the double screw palm oil press better than a single screw press?

A: For commercial production, the double screw palm oil press generally provides higher oil extraction efficiency, more stable operation and better protection of palm kernels. The hydraulic automatic pressure system also reduces the need for manual adjustment.

Q3: How long does delivery take after order confirmation?

A: Typical delivery time is 30–45 days after payment confirmation, depending on production schedule and shipping arrangements.

Q4: Can I start with a smaller capacity and upgrade later?

A: Yes. Many investors start with a smaller palm oil processing machine and add sterilization, filtration and other equipment over time as their plantation and production volume grow.
