For Nigerian palm oil processors, the path to higher productivity and safer operations isn’t just about buying new machines—it’s about making smart, data-driven decisions that align with local conditions and long-term goals.
Nigeria produces over 2 million metric tons of crude palm oil annually—but many mills still rely on outdated equipment. This leads to inconsistent yields, high energy consumption, and frequent breakdowns. According to our field studies, inefficient systems can consume up to 45 kWh per ton of oil, while modern automated solutions reduce this to under 22 kWh/t. That’s not just efficiency—it’s real cost savings.
Local raw material characteristics—such as moisture content (often 10–15%) and fruit bunch hardness—require tailored equipment design. Standard global models often fail in these conditions. Our clients report a 30% increase in throughput after switching to units engineered for West African palm fruits.
| Stage | Key Tech | Efficiency Gain |
|---|---|---|
| Crushing & Separation | Dual-stage hammer mill + vibrating screen | Reduces fiber waste by 18% |
| Pressing | Hydraulic press with PLC control | Steam usage drops to <300 kg/t oil |
| Refining | Continuous deodorizer + vacuum system | Improves oil quality index by 25% |
Each stage is designed around proven performance metrics—not marketing claims. For example, pressure vessels must meet Nigerian Industrial Standards (NIS) and ISO 9001 certification. These aren’t just compliance boxes—they’re critical to safety, especially when operating at high temperatures and pressures.
We don’t just sell equipment—we build partnerships. Our service model includes:
One client in Oyo State reduced downtime by 60% in six months thanks to proactive servicing. Their ROI? Just 11 months post-installation.
Let every investment translate into measurable output—not just a machine sitting idle. We know what works here, because we’ve been here—with you.
