In the competitive global edible oil market, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often struggle to keep up with large players—until they embrace automation.
Take the case of GreenLife Foods, a family-run peanut oil producer based in Nigeria. Before adopting our automated peanut oil production line, their monthly output was just 12 tons—with inconsistent quality and frequent downtime due to manual bottlenecks. After installation, they saw a 40% increase in output within six months, reduced labor costs by 35%, and achieved ISO 22000 certification for food safety.
Traditional peanut oil extraction relies heavily on human intervention—from sorting raw peanuts to controlling temperature during refining. This leads to variability in yield (typically 40–45%) and higher risk of contamination. Our fully automated system, however, ensures:
Feature | Manual Process | Automated Line |
---|---|---|
Avg. Yield (%) | 42–45% | 47–48% |
Labor Required (per shift) | 4 workers | 1 operator + 1 technician |
Downtime (hours/month) | ~40 hrs | ~12 hrs |
These numbers aren’t just theoretical—they’re backed by real-world data from over 30 SME clients across Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America who have adopted our solution since 2022.
A Vietnamese processor named VietPeanut Co. used to lose ~$8,000/month in rejected batches due to inconsistent clarity and odor. After switching to our automated system with built-in filtration and vacuum deodorization units, they reported:
This is exactly why more than 70% of new peanut oil producers now start with automation—not because it’s trendy, but because it delivers measurable ROI.
If you're running a small peanut oil business and want to scale without compromising quality or increasing overhead, automation isn't optional—it's essential. Whether you're targeting domestic markets or exporting to EU, US, or Middle East, having consistent product specs and traceable processes will open doors.
