Small Scale Coconut Oil Pressing Plant
You are kindly advised to contact us if you got interested in coconut oil extraction, refining, and filtration. Our oil pressing machines for sale are capable of processing numbers of vegetable plant and oil seeds for biodiesel or cooking uses. This machinery can not only pressing virgin coconut oil, but also can extract oil from dired copra, groundnut, sunflower seeds and other oil-bearing materials.
The process of coconut oil production is not complicated. There two traditional processing method of coconut oil: dry processing (make oil from copra) and we processing (make oil from fresh coconut).
The followings are some photos about a 20 TPD oil pressing and 10 TPD refining plant we built before in the Philippines. Feel free to contact us for further discussion and get detailed information about our coconut oil pressing projects.

Refined Copra Oil
The dry processing method refers to making oil from desiccated coconut which is commonly called copra. The coconut is firstly be cut to pieces and died to remove the moisture. You can remove the body from inside the shell using a knife and then divide the copra into ‘A inch pieces but do not remove the testa on the coconut meat. Let the copra thoroughly dry so that all moisture from the meat is gone.
Crushing: Copra is big, strong and tough, unlike soya beans which break easily when moisture is low. So hammer crushing machine is needed in copra oil processing plant, and twice crushing is suggested to improve the production output.
Copra Flaking: The purpose of flaking is to reduce residual oil rate.
Copra Oil Pressing: It generally still contains small amount of big particles after crushing. So pre-pressing is suggested to reduce the oil content below 40%, and the copra can also be softened. This way can achieve the minimum power consumption, the highest oil yield, the most smooth continuous working mode, and the best oil cake quality with the lowest residual oil. If the oil content of coconut is 65% and oil residual is 3%, the oil yield can be 98%.
Oil Filter Press: Oil filter press is used for purifing the expelled coconut oil. It utilizes a fine-mesh filtering cloth. The oil under the pressure goes through the filtrating cloth, gets out from the faucet beneath the filtrating cloth.
The wet processing uses to make virgin coconut oil (VCO) by mechanical methods at room temperature or low temperature (cold pressing), without chemical refining. No preservatives and chemical solvents are needed to keep the oil fresh and stable.
Expeller Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil
Expeller Pressed VCO in Bottle
This kind of processing method reduces the loss of VE, polyphenol and other nutrients. The final oil has a light coconut flavor, has better performance than ordinary copra oil, and therefore more expensive.
Our YZS coconut oil pressing machine is a screw type mechanical expeller press featured of easy operation and high efficient. You may use the machine to process both copra and virgin coconut. It is also suitable for making oil from other seeds or nuts, e.g. peanut, sesame seeds, soybean, etc.
Screw Oil Press
Oil Press with Temperature Control System
Automatic Cold Pressing Machine
This is a common use screw type oil pressing machines which is designed for expelling oil from oil seeds and nuts. The oil pressing process is mechanical. Oil press is the key machinery for any oil processing unit and plant. Choose the most suitable modes of oil press machine based on your needs on oil production capacity. Besides the normal screw oil pressing machine as the left picture shows, an antomatic and multifunction oil press machine which is equipted with vaccum filter is also designed and manufactured lately.
The strong coconut flavor indicates that the refining process is not good, because if the coconut flavor is too strong, Taste can appear to resist retrograde in long-term use. Good refined coconut oil will not be particularly fragrant.
Physical refining is the best choice for coconut oil processing.
Referring to the comparison of physical refining and chemical refining, there is not much different from other oils such as soybean oil and rapeseed oil. The main advantage of physical refining machine is that it avoids environmental pollution caused by the discharge of soap feet and acidolytic wastewater in chemical refining plant.
