Complete turnkey edible oil plants — pre-treatment, mechanical pressing, solvent extraction and full refining (degumming, neutralisation, bleaching, deodorisation) — engineered for African oilseeds and palm fruit.
From oilseed reception to packaged refined edible oil — a fully integrated 6-stage process covering pre-treatment, extraction and full refining for export-grade quality.
Magnetic separators, de-stoners and aspirators clean the oilseeds; cracking, dehulling and conditioning prepare them for extraction
High-pressure expellers extract 70–90% of the oil; remaining cake is conveyed to the solvent extraction section (or sold as feed)
Hexane-based extraction recovers residual oil from press cake — meal desolventiser-toaster (DT) removes residual solvent and toasts meal
Phosphoric/citric acid degums the crude oil; caustic soda removes free fatty acids — the base of the refining sequence
Bleaching earth removes color pigments and trace metals; leaf filters separate spent earth from the bleached oil
Steam stripping under vacuum removes odours, free fatty acids and pesticide residues; refined oil cooled, polished and packed in PET/jerrycans/drums
Our turnkey scope spans the complete oil chain — seed pre-treatment, mechanical pressing, solvent extraction, refining and packing. We work with sunflower, palm, soya, groundnut, sesame, cottonseed and rapeseed.
Equipment is pre-assembled at our partner facility, run-tested with seed/oil samples, then shipped to Africa where our engineers handle erection, piping, electrical commissioning and operator training.
One plant supports sunflower, soya, groundnut, sesame, cottonseed and rapeseed with seed-specific crackers and conditioners — switching seasons without major rebuilds.
Multi-stage pressing + solvent extraction recovers ≥ 95% of oil-in-seed — leaving meal at ≤ 1.0% residual oil, maximising margin from every ton of seed.
Degumming, neutralisation, bleaching, dewaxing (sunflower) and deodorisation in one integrated refinery — producing refined edible oil meeting Codex/national standards.
Dedicated CPO (crude palm oil) and palm kernel processing — sterilizer, threshing, digester, screw press and clarification — for West & Central African plantations.
Multi-effect economisers, vacuum systems with steam ejectors and waste-heat recovery on deodoriser reduce steam and electricity consumption per ton.
Solvent extraction sections engineered to ATEX/IS standards — explosion-proof motors, gas detection, hexane recovery and full safety interlocks.

* Specifications are indicative. Final design depends on oilseed type, oil-in-seed content, target oil grade and refining mode (physical / chemical).
A complete Vezora oil plant produces multiple revenue streams from the same oilseed batch — refined oil, high-protein meal, lecithin and value-added by-products.
Sunflower / soya / groundnut / palm — refined oil for retail PET, jerrycan or drum.
High-protein animal feed ingredient (DOC) — for poultry, dairy, fish & pet food.
Bulk crude oil for sale to other refiners or export — RBD-ready feedstock.
Soya lecithin recovered during degumming — food, pharma & feed industries.
Refining by-products sold to soap makers, biodiesel & pharma sectors.
From cottage cooperative oil presses to national refineries — our flexible plants serve every segment of the African edible oil value chain.

Common questions about edible oil extraction and refining equipment supply across Africa.
We supply extraction and refining plants for sunflower, soybean, palm and groundnut oil, including oil expellers, solvent extraction and refining lines.
We supply edible oil extraction plants to Tanzania, Kenya, Nigeria, Zambia, Uganda and other African countries with significant oilseed production.
Yes. We supply complete edible oil lines covering extraction (expeller or solvent), degumming, neutralization, bleaching, deodorization and packaging.
Expeller pressing is mechanical and suits smaller-scale operations, while solvent extraction achieves higher oil yield and is used in larger commercial plants.
Typical timelines range from 3-6 months from order to commissioning, depending on plant size and complexity.
