Rice bran oil—a valuable oil extracted from rice bran, a byproduct of rice processing—is rich in nutrients such as gamma-oryzanol and phytosterols. However, the characteristics of rice bran—specifically its tendency to go rancid quickly, its powdery texture, and its moderate oil content—impose rigorous demands on rice bran oil processing equipment and technology. Selecting a manufacturer with robust technical expertise and extensive experience is crucial to the success of a rice bran oil project.
Since entering the grain and oil machinery industry in 1988, Henan Huatai Cereals & Oils Machinery Co., Ltd. has dedicated over 38 years to the field. Backed by strong R&D capabilities, extensive project experience, and a comprehensive service system, the company has established itself as a trusted global manufacturer of rice bran oil processing equipment.
Company Strength: From “Little Giant” to Industry Benchmark
Headquartered in the New District of Hua County, Anyang City, Henan Province, Henan Huatai Cereals & Oils Machinery Co., Ltd. covers an area of over 100,000 square meters, operates 12 intelligent workshops, and employs a workforce of more than 380 people.
As a National High-Tech Enterprise and a key “Little Giant” enterprise (recognized for specialization, refinement, uniqueness, and innovation), Huatai Group possesses deep technical expertise in rice bran oil processing. The company holds numerous national invention patents in this sector, covering technologies such as the refining of Grade-1 rice bran oil, protein extraction and separation from rice bran, and gamma-oryzanol extraction. Notably, its complete set of equipment for refining Grade-1 rice bran oil has won a national invention patent and the First Prize for Science and Technology from the Chinese Cereals and Oils Association (CCOA).
Core Technologies and Process Advantages
Rice bran oil processing typically encompasses a full workflow involving pretreatment, expansion (extrusion), solvent extraction, refining, and dewaxing. Huatai Group has developed a comprehensive set of mature technical solutions tailored to the unique physical properties of rice bran.
1) Rice Bran Expansion Pretreatment Technology—Solving the Rancidity Problem
Rice bran contains active lipases, making it highly susceptible to rancidity and spoilage under standard storage conditions. Huatai Group’s expansion process utilizes instantaneous high-temperature, high-pressure treatment to effectively deactivate lipases within the rice bran, thereby extending its storage life. Simultaneously, it transforms the powdered rice bran into a porous, columnar structure, significantly enhancing solvent permeability. This core technology ensures the residual oil rate remains consistently below 0.5% while drastically reducing steam consumption.
2) Rice Bran Oil Solvent Extraction Technology—Efficient Recovery of Rice Bran Oil
Huatai Group’s proprietary drag-chain extractor integrates advanced energy-saving process technologies. This combination effectively lowers consumption metrics and significantly improves product quality, helping clients reduce production costs and enhance market competitiveness. Compared to traditional pressing methods, the solvent extraction process enables large-scale production and substantially higher oil yields.
3) Rice Bran Oil Refining Technology—Preserving Nutrients and Enhancing Quality
The complete rice bran oil refining system employs advanced process technologies to ensure maximum retention of the oil’s nutritional value. By utilizing state-of-the-art refining processes, the system significantly reduces steam consumption and wastewater discharge, resulting in high product yields and superior oil quality.
Global Plant Case Studies
Huatai Group’s rice bran oil equipment has been exported to over 70 countries and regions worldwide, supported by 12 overseas offices. Below are some representative plant case studies:
Case Study 1: 30 TPD Rice Bran Oil Extraction Line in Iran
This project marks a renewed collaboration between Huatai Group and a long-standing Iranian client, demonstrating the client’s deep trust in Huatai’s products and services. The project utilizes an advanced drag-chain extractor and Huatai’s energy-saving process technologies, effectively reducing consumption metrics and significantly improving product quality. To meet local production requirements, Huatai dispatched professional technical teams to the site multiple times for assessments and iteratively optimized the equipment solution.
Case Study 2: 200 TPD Complete Rice Bran Processing Plant in Vietnam
In November 2025, a complete 200 TPD rice bran expansion and extraction plant from Huatai Group was loaded and shipped for delivery to a client in Vietnam. To address the challenges posed by Vietnam’s hot and humid climate, Huatai employs refrigeration-based absorption technology in the extraction workshop. This ensures the tail gas absorption system operates stably and efficiently year-round, reducing solvent consumption by 20% compared to traditional methods. The entire system integrates intelligent controls, enabling fully automated operation across the process—from raw material pretreatment to extraction.
Case Study 3: 100 TPD Rice Bran Expansion and Extraction Project (Heilongjiang Province)
In August 2024, a 100 TPD rice bran expansion and extraction project, designed and manufactured by Huatai Group, was shipped to Wuchang City, Heilongjiang Province. This comprehensive oil production project integrates rice bran pretreatment, expansion, extraction, and downstream processing, aiming to efficiently extract oil from rice bran while ensuring product quality and economic returns.
Case Study 4: 50 TPD Rice Bran Oil Pressing Project (Bangladesh)
In March 2024, a 50 TPD rice bran oil pressing project ordered by a Bangladeshi company was shipped. Huatai had previously signed contracts with the same company in 2015 for a complete set of equipment, including 100 TPD rice bran expansion pretreatment, 100 TPD rice bran oil extraction, and 20 TPD rice bran oil refining units. A decade of continuous cooperation attests to the reliable performance of Huatai’s equipment in the Bangladeshi market and the high level of customer satisfaction.
Case Study 5: 24 TPD Rice Bran Oil Refining and Dewaxing Project (Jiangsu)
In May 2024, a 24 TPD rice bran oil refining and dewaxing project ordered by a Jiangsu-based company was shipped. Dewaxing is a critical step in rice bran oil refining process; the refined rice bran wax possesses unique physicochemical properties and is widely used across various industries.
