The peanuts should firstly be pretreated by professional seed cleaning equipment. Then the cleaned peanut seeds are sent to the oil milling plant to be pressed into oil by oil presses. However, the crude peanut oil usually contains a number of impurities. So for edible oil, the pressed peanut oil needs to be extracted in the oil extraction plant before the extracted oils are sent to the oil refining plant for further peanut oil processing.

Knowledge of Peanut / Groundnut Oil

The KMEC peanut oil processing plant processes quality peanut using professional peanut oil processing technology. Knowledge of the special characteristics of peanuts is applied toward our peanut processing plants.

Peanuts or groundnuts are a high value crop that can be marketed with little processing but are extremely versatile for use toward wide range of products. The oil can be used for cooking, as a shortening or base for confectioneries, and can be used to make peanut butter. There are two types of groundnut, a bush and a runner.
