In South Asian countries like India, Pakistan, and Nepal, mustard oil is not only a staple condiment on the table but also a vital vehicle for traditional culinary culture. Rich in unsaturated fatty acids (approximately 70%), vitamin E, and phytosterols, it also contains 38%-40% natural oils—making it a new favorite in the global premium edible oil market.
With consumers demanding both nutrition and flavor, mustard oil exports have grown by over 15% annually over the past three years, with demand particularly surging in Europe, America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Faced with such a vast market opportunity, selecting an efficient, energy-saving, and stable mustard seed oil press has become a key step in reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

To truly maximize the value of the mustard oil press, it is necessary to manage the entire processing chain in a refined manner. Based on years of practical experience, we have created a standardized and modular production system:
| step | Key Operations | Technological advantages |
|---|---|---|
| Raw material pretreatment | Magnetic separation + vibrating screen + softening and rolling + temperature-controlled steaming and frying (110–120°C) | Impurity content is less than 0.5%, increasing oil yield |
| Pressing process | Two-stage screw press or hydraulic press | The screw oil press operates continuously and has a high oil yield. The hydraulic press oil has a clear color and a pure taste. |
| Filtration and refining | Multi-stage oil filtration + four-step refining (degumming → deacidification → decolorization → deodorization) | The oil products are clear and transparent, and the finished oil meets international export standards |
Energy saving and efficiency improvement : High-efficiency screw pressing technology can increase the oil yield to more than 40%, reducing raw material waste.
Durable and reliable : Key components are made of wear-resistant materials, and modular design reduces downtime and maintenance costs.
Safety and Compliance : The equipment complies with international food safety standards (ISO 22000, HACCP), ensuring that the oil can be exported to the global market.
Intelligent control : Configurable low-temperature cold pressing system to maximize the retention of nutrients and meet the market demand for high-end healthy oils.
Innovative R&D : ISO-certified laboratories continuously optimize the press chamber structure, increasing oil yield by 1.5–3%.
Global application : The equipment has been exported to more than 130 countries and successfully served the 150TPD large-scale mustard oil plant project.
Full-cycle service : providing one-stop service including plant layout design, equipment supply, installation and commissioning, and operation training.

Q1: How to choose a suitable mustard oil press according to production capacity?
A: If the daily processing capacity is less than 10 tons, a small screw press unit is recommended; if it exceeds 20 tons/day, a fully automatic continuous production line with a pre-treatment unit is recommended.
Q2: What is the frequency of equipment maintenance?
A: It is recommended to check the wear of the transmission system and the pressing chamber once a quarter, and lubricate the main shaft bearings and gearbox monthly, which can effectively extend the life of the equipment by more than 30%.
Q3: Does it support cold pressing process?
A: Yes! QIE offers a custom low-temperature control system specifically designed for cold pressing, preserving the active ingredients in mustard oil (such as glucosinolates), meeting the demands of the high-end organic food market.
Q4: Can you provide whole-plant construction services?
Absolutely! We offer one-stop services, from plant planning and equipment supply to installation and commissioning and personnel training. We have successfully completed over 150 TPD-level mustard oil processing plant projects.
Q5: What is the difference between a screw oil press and a hydraulic oil press?
A: Screw oil press is suitable for large-scale continuous production with high oil yield; hydraulic press is suitable for cold-pressing high-end oil, with high oil quality but slightly lower output.
Whether you're a startup or a large oil mill, choosing an efficient, durable, and intelligent mustard oil press is the first step towards success. With advanced technology, reliable quality, and a global service network, QIE Group has become a trusted partner for many customers.
