Rice bran oil, a healthy edible oil with high nutritional value, is increasingly favored by the market. If you are considering investing in or building a rice bran oil factory, a comprehensive understanding of the industry is crucial. This article, drawing on the industry experience of Henan Huatai Cereals and Oils Machinery Co., Ltd., will systematically outline the key information you need to know.

Basic Elements of a Rice Bran Oil Factory
1) Rice Bran Characteristics and Pre-treatment
Rice bran is a byproduct of rice processing, with an oil content of approximately 15-20%, but it contains active enzymes that can easily lead to rancidity. Rice bran oil processing plants need to stabilize fresh rice bran within 24 hours – this is the core advantage of the “rice bran stabilization system” developed by Huatai Oil Machinery, which effectively extends the shelf life of the raw material.
2) Rice Bran Oil Production Process Flow
A complete rice bran oil production line includes:
Cleaning section
Rice bran pre-treatment and expansion section
Rice bran oil solvent extraction section
Rice bran oil refining section (degumming, deacidification, decolorization, dewaxing, deodorization)
Rice bran wax refining section
Huatai Cereals and Oils Machinery Co., Ltd. provides turnkey rice bran oil projects covering the entire process from pre-treatment to refining.

Core Considerations for Rice Bran Oil Equipment Selection
1) Rice Bran Oil Process Advancement
Huatai Oil Machinery utilizes “low-temperature extraction” and “short-path molecular distillation” technologies, which maximize the retention of nutrients such as γ-oryzanol and vitamin E, increasing product added value.
2) Rice Bran Oil Equipment Configuration
Rice bran oil equipment configuration varies significantly depending on production capacity requirements (typically 10-2000 tons/day). Key equipment includes:
Rice bran cleaning equipment
Rice bran extruder machine or pre-treatment equipment
Rice bran oil solvent extraction system
Fully continuous rice bran oil refining production line
Automatic control system
3) Energy Consumption and Environmental Protection Indicators
Modern rice bran oil factories must meet green production standards. Huatai’s intelligent factory solutions can achieve steam consumption ≤280kg/t material and solvent consumption ≤0.8kg/t material, far superior to the industry average.

Investment Benefit Analysis
1) Investment Scale
For a rice bran oil factory processing 100 tons of rice bran per day, the equipment investment is approximately 8-12 million RMB (Huatai can provide modular solutions to reduce initial investment based on needs).
2) Economic Benefits
The gross profit margin of rice bran oil can reach 15-25%. If extended to the extraction of γ-oryzanol (pharmaceutical raw material), the profit margin can be further increased. Rice bran meal, a byproduct, is a high-quality feed ingredient.
3) Policy Support
Grain and oil processing projects enjoy tax incentives and industrial support in many regions. Huatai Oil Machinery can assist clients in applying for relevant policies.
