How Much Space for a 5tph Palm Oil Processing Plant? Complete Factory Layout & Setup Guide

Date: June 3, 2026

Do you want a palm oil processing factory layout that maximizes productivity with minimal labor and space? In that case, Henan Glory's 5tph palm oil processing plant is the a good choice you cannot miss. Tailor-made for medium-to-large palm plantations, this palm oil processing line is the perfect fit for planters owning around 1,000 hectares of oil palm orchards.

Now, let's dive into the details.

Why 5tph Palm Oil Processing Plant?

Before talking about space, let's answer a key question: why choose a 5tph palm oil processing plant?

First, it offers a balanced scale. A 5tph palm oil processing plant can produce approximately 720 tons of crude palm oil per month (based on 24-hour continuous operation), delivering an excellent return on investment without the massive capital cost of larger palm oil mills.

More importantly, our 5tph palm oil processing line stands out because of its sterilization station, which uses a fully automatic vertical steam sterilizer that saves both time and space. This technology brings three benefits:

(1) Reduced sterilization time – improved steam penetration enables faster cycles, increasing throughput.

(2) Automatic feeding and discharging – no manual loading or unloading, significantly reducing labor requirements.

(3) Integrated scraper conveyor – automatically transfers sterilized fruit bunches to the thresher, creating a continuous workflow.

Thanks to this design, our 5tph palm oil processing line achieves a 24/7 continuous operation with minimal labor. It's not just an affordable capacity, but also a highly efficient choice for investors.

Workshop Dimensions for a 5tph Palm Oil Processing Plant

DimensionSizeReason
Length60 mEnsures smooth process flow (from material reception → sterilization → threshing → digestion → pressing → clarification → drying) and optimizes material movement within the workshop.
Width18 mProvides sufficient space for optimal equipment arrangement and ensures safe walkways for operators.
Height13 mAccommodates large equipment (e.g., sterilizers, storage tanks) and ensures proper ventilation inside the workshop.

Core Function of Each Palm Oil Processing Station

1. Material Reception Station

Located at the workshop entrance.

Core function: Unload, weigh, and temporarily store fresh palm fruit bunches (FFBs), ensuring high-quality raw materials and continuous supply for subsequent processes.

2. Sterilizer Station

Core function: Use high-pressure steam to sterilize FFBs, inactivate enzymes, soften fruits and loosen them from bunches, preserving oil quality and improving extraction efficiency.

3. Thresher Station

Core function: Automatically separate palm fruits from empty bunches (EFBs); EFBs can be recycled as biomass fuel, enhancing sustainability.

4. Digester and Presser Station

Core function: Crush and heat palm fruits into pulp, then press to extract crude palm oil efficiently.

5. Oil Clarification Station (Vibrating Screen, Clarification Tank, Plate Filter)

Core function: Remove impurities, fiber and moisture from crude oil through separation, sedimentation and filtration, producing clean crude palm oil.
