Groundnut and cottonseed oil mill plants for Gujarat

Double-chamber oil expellers and complete oil mill plants for Gujarat’s two big crushing seeds, groundnut (singtel) and cottonseed (kapasia). Built in Ludhiana and supplied, installed and commissioned as a turnkey line.

What we build for Gujarat’s seeds

Groundnut (singtel) oil mill

Pods are decorticated, cleaned, warmed and pressed. We build the line two ways: Single-time crushing, with presses side by side, or Double-time crushing, where a pre-press feeds a final press.

Cottonseed (kapasia) oil mill

Cottonseed is delinted and dehulled before pressing, because the lint and hull carry no oil. It is a pre-press seed: the press takes the easy oil and the cake can go on to solvent extraction. Most enquiries come from ginners adding a crushing line.

The press: Optiflow double-chamber oil expeller

  • Optiflow 40: 10–11 tonnes a day on final press, 13–14 on pre-press, 30 kW motor
  • Optiflow 50: 11–12 tonnes a day on final press, 14–15 on pre-press, 50 HP motor
  • 6–7% oil left in the cake on correctly conditioned seed

What will the plant cost?

The price depends on the capacity, the seed and how much of the line you need. We don’t print a list price. Send your seed and daily tonnage on WhatsApp and we will quote for that. To work out what the mill earns, use the project cost calculator.

Common questions from Gujarat mills

Do you supply and install complete plants in Gujarat?
Yes. We plan, supply, install and commission turnkey oil mills. The machines are built in our works in Ludhiana and dispatched to your site.
Which oil expeller is right for a groundnut mill?
Size it on the seed you will crush per day. An Optiflow 40 handles 10–11 tonnes a day on final press and an Optiflow 50 handles 11–12. Beyond that you add presses side by side.
Can the line start from whole groundnut pods?
Yes. Whole pods and decorticated groundnut need different machines at the front of the line, so tell us which you start from.
Do you make machines for cottonseed?
Yes: dehullers and decorticators for the preparation, and the Optiflow press for pre-pressing. Tell us your ginning capacity and we will size the preparation first.
Is there a government subsidy for an oil mill?
We don’t decide that. Central schemes such as PMFME support small food-processing units. Whether your mill qualifies, and for how much, is decided by the scheme and your bank. In Gujarat, ask Gujarat Agro Industries Corporation, the state agency for PMFME, or your bank.
Do you supply expeller spare parts?
Yes. Worms, cage bars, cone rings and cone points, hard-faced in our works, for our presses and other major brands.
