corn oil making machine
we provide corn oil production
Corn oil is produced from corn kernels, including the skin, endosperm, germ, etc. About 85% of corn oil is unsaturated fatty acids. It could help to reduce cholesterol levels. Corn oil is also a source of Vitamin E. This has anti-oxidation. It is conducive to protect the cell from free radical injury. Above all, it is easier to gain and cost-effective.
We provide tailored service solutions for our customers, including site planning, engineering design, technology selection, equipment manufacturing, installation and commissioning, oil plant expansion and upgrading, etc

how to extract corn oil?
- Step 1: Cleaning: corn germ first removes the germ by a clean sieve and a magnetic separator, so as not to damage the production equipment.
- Step 2: Softening: softening is to adjust the temperature and water content of corn germ, it could increase plasticity and prevent excessive powder production.
- Step 3: Peeling: the thickness of the corn germ is 0.2-0.3mm. This process could have a difference in oil yield and the production of equipment.
- Step 4: Cooking: the effect of cooking mainly depends on temperature, water content, and time. In the cooking process, oil is heated and the water is adjusted to the ideal state.
- Step 5: Pressing: the temperature of oil cake should be controlled at 100℃. The corn germ has higher oil content, so it is pressed twice for oil. After the first oil extraction, the corn germ is crushed, steamed, and peeled into a cake, then pressed. In the process of corn oil pressing, please pay attention to the cleaning of the oil circuit. The oil yield of corn germ is about 16%-20%.
- Step 6: Refining: corn oil has free fatty acids, phospholipid binding proteins, mucus, and other non-glycerin vinegar impurities. During alkali refining, oil and lye will be emulsified, which will affect the refining of corn oil. So, before refining, firstly degumming by hydration. Hydration is the heating of corn oil to 75-80 ℃, adding 5%-10% water, stirring at the same time, adding an appropriate amount of salt. The refined oil meets the national standard and can be sold in the market.
Notes: “Screw oil press” is usually used oil press processes in the production of small and medium corn oil. (The oil yield is about 70%). “Pre-pressing and solvent extraction” is more suitable for an industrial corn oil mill. (The oil yield of corn germs can reach 98%).

the cost of corn oil mill plant
Factors affecting the price:
- Automatic degree: fully automatic machines are more expensive than semi-automatic or manual machines.
- Material quality: machines made of high-quality materials, such as stainless steel, will cost more, but may offer better durability and performance.
- Customization: according to the special requirement of the machine may be more expensive.
Small-scale oil plant
- Capacity: 10-50 tpd
- Price Range: $1,000 to $5,000
These machines are suitable for small businesses or home use. They are semi-automatic and require more manual labor.
Medium-scale oil plant
- Capacity: 50-200 tpd
- Price Range: $5,000 to $20,000
These machines are more automated and efficient, making them suitable for medium-sized businesses.
Large-Scale oil plant
- Capacity: 200-600 tpd
- Price Range: $20,000 to $100,000
These are fully automated machines designed for industrial use. They come with advanced features like PLC control systems.
the profit of corn oil mill
| Machine Capacity | 100 kg of corn germ per hour |
|---|---|
| Oil Yield | 30% (30 kg of oil per 100 kg of corn germ) |
| Operating Hours | 8 hours/day |
| Raw Material Cost | $0.50/kg of corn germ |
| Selling Price of Corn Oil | $2.00/liter |
| Operational Costs | $0.30/kg of oil (energy, labor, maintenance, etc.) |
Daily Production
- Corn processed: 100 kg/hour × 8 hours = 800 kg/day
- Oil produced: 800 kg × 30% = 240 kg/day
- Revenue: 240 liters × 2.00/liter=480/day
Daily Costs
- Raw material cost: 800 kg × 0.50/kg=400/day
- Operational costs: 240 liters × 0.30/liter=72/day
- Total daily cost: 400+72 = $472/day
Daily Profit
- Profit: Revenue - Costs = 480−472 = $8/day
