China leading palm oil mill plant machine manufacturer and supplier

The investment amount for a 5TPH (tons/hour) palm oil plant is affected by factors such as equipment configuration, location, level of automation, and whether refining is included. The overall investment range is US$130,000 to RMB 5 million (approximately US$180,000). If land, plant construction, and supporting facilities are included, the total investment can rise to RMB 6 million to RMB 15 million. A breakdown is as follows:

Core Equipment Costs (40%-60% of total investment)

The core equipment for a 5TPH palm oil plant includes fermentation tanks, fruit threshers, crushing tanks, twin-screw oil presses, and plate and frame filters. Equipment costs vary significantly depending on the level of automation and brand:

Basic Configuration (Semi-automatic, Domestic Equipment): Total equipment price approximately RMB 600,000 to 1 million. Suitable for small processing plants producing only crude palm oil, excluding refining.

Standard Configuration (Fully Automatic, with Primary Refining): Includes refining equipment such as degumming, deacidification, and decolorization. The total equipment price is approximately RMB 1.5 million - 3 million, capable of producing edible-grade palm oil.

Imported Equipment Configuration: If European, American, or Malaysian brand equipment is used, the cost will double, approximately RMB 3 million - 4 million.

 Plant and Infrastructure Costs

Plant Construction: A 5TPH production line requires a plant area of approximately 1000-1500㎡. The construction cost of a brick-concrete structure plant is approximately RMB 800-1200/㎡, totaling RMB 800,000 - 1.8 million. If a steel structure plant is used, the cost is slightly higher, approximately RMB 1000-1500/㎡.

Supporting Facilities: Includes water and electricity renovation, fire protection, and wastewater treatment, costing approximately RMB 500,000 - 1 million. If local environmental regulations are strict, the cost of wastewater treatment equipment will increase by RMB 300,000 - 500,000.
