Customer Success Stories

🇳🇬 Kano, Nigeria — Groundnut Oil Mill

Equipment: HN426 hydraulic oil press + crusher + roaster

This operator processes 500 kg of shelled groundnuts daily. With 40-45% oil yield on the HN426, that's 200-225 liters of groundnut oil per day. The remaining cake (roughly 275 kg) sells as premium poultry feed at ₦350-600/kg — generating an additional $60-110/day in by-product income. The operator switched from a smaller HN325 after six months to meet growing demand from Kano markets. Groundnut oil commands strong local prices year-round, and the cake market is virtually guaranteed — poultry farmers in northern Nigeria compete for it.

🇪🇹 Addis Ababa, Ethiopia — Sesame Oil Export

Equipment: HN355 hydraulic oil press + electric roaster

This Ethiopian mill runs a smart two-shift operation. Morning shift: hot-pressed sesame oil at 120-130°C for Addis Ababa restaurants and local cooking oil markets. Afternoon shift: cold-pressed sesame oil (below 40°C) packed in glass bottles for Dubai export. Same HN355 machine. Same sesame seed. Two completely different products and price points. The cold-pressed export oil sells at 2-3x the local hot-pressed price. This dual-market strategy turns one machine into two revenue streams without additional equipment cost.

🇬🇭 Accra, Ghana — Tiger Nut Oil & Milk

Equipment: HN426 hydraulic oil press (nickel-plated barrel)

Tiger nuts (Cyperus esculentus) are fibrous and notorious for resisting lower-pressure oil presses. This operator in Accra processes 200 kg of dried tiger nuts daily on an HN426. The 500-ton pressing force and 42 Mpa cake surface pressure extract thoroughly in a single press cycle — something smaller machines struggle to achieve. The oil goes to specialty food processors, while the pressed residue is milled into tiger nut flour for the health food market. The operator chose the nickel-plated barrel specifically because tiger nuts release mildly acidic juice during pressing.

🇸🇳 Dakar, Senegal — Multi-Seed Operation

Equipment: HN355 + automatic feed crush roast machine

Instead of running three separate machines (feeder, crusher, roaster), this Senegalese mill uses one integrated automatic feed crush roast unit feeding directly into an HN355 hydraulic press. The all-in-one setup processes groundnut, sesame, and cottonseed — switching between seed types with minimal downtime by adjusting crusher gap and roaster temperature. Staff reduced from 3-4 workers to a single operator managing the entire line. Labor savings alone covered the equipment cost difference within the first season.

🇵🇭 Davao, Philippines — Virgin Coconut Oil Export

Equipment: 300-type coconut oil press (304 stainless steel)

A Davao-based operator sources mature coconuts from local farmers, grates the fresh meat, and cold-presses on the 300-type machine. Processing 500 kg of fresh grated coconut daily yields approximately 100-125 liters of virgin coconut oil (VCO). The 304 stainless steel barrel and oil tray prevent the acidic coconut juice from causing corrosion — critical for meeting APCC (Asia and Pacific Coconut Community) export standards. VCO sells at $8-15/liter for export, compared to $1-3/liter for refined coconut oil. The operator achieved APCC certification with FFA consistently below 0.1% using this machine.

🇱🇰 Colombo, Sri Lanka — Multi-Product Strategy

Equipment: 300-type coconut oil press + HN355 hydraulic oil press

This Sri Lankan producer runs a diversified operation: VCO and coconut milk on the 300-type stainless steel press, and sesame oil on the HN355 during the sesame harvest season. Switching between products keeps the machines running year-round. During mango season, the 300-type press also extracts fruit juice — the large 600mm barrel handles whole fruit pieces without pre-processing. This approach spreads equipment costs across multiple revenue streams and maintains cash flow even when individual crops are out of season.

🇦🇪 Dubai, UAE — Premium Olive Oil Processing Hub

Project Background: A Dubai-based food trading company sought to establish a local cold-press olive oil production facility to supply the growing demand for premium Mediterranean-style olive oil in the GCC region. With rising consumer awareness of healthy eating and preference for traceable, locally-produced food products, the client aimed to differentiate themselves from imported brands.

Equipment Solution: HN426 hydraulic oil press (500T) + 304 stainless steel oil collection system + complete refining line

Implementation: The client opted for our HN426 model with nickel-plated barrel for premium cold-press operations. We customized the system to meet GCC food safety standards, including stainless steel contact surfaces and HACCP-compliant documentation. Installation and training were completed in 5 days by our technical team, with ongoing remote support via WhatsApp.

Business Results: Operating at 800 kg/day capacity, producing 320-360 liters of extra virgin olive oil daily. The oil achieves FFA levels below 0.3%, meeting international premium standards. Products are distributed through Dubai's upscale supermarkets and exported to Saudi Arabia and Oman. The facility has become a showcase for visiting international buyers, leveraging Dubai's strategic location as a regional trade hub.

🇸🇦 Jeddah, Saudi Arabia — Date Seed Oil Innovation

Project Background: A Saudi agricultural cooperative with extensive date palm plantations wanted to monetize date seeds — a by-product previously discarded or used only as animal feed. Date seed oil is gaining popularity in the cosmetics and health supplement industries, creating a new revenue stream from an underutilized resource.

Equipment Solution: HN355 hydraulic oil press + seed cleaning & pre-processing system

Implementation: Date seeds require specialized pre-processing due to their hard shell and high fiber content. We configured the HN355 with a custom feeder system and optimized pressing parameters for this unique seed type. Our engineers conducted on-site trials to determine optimal temperature and pressure settings, achieving 8-10% oil yield from date seeds.

Business Results: Processing 300 kg of date seeds daily, yielding approximately 25-30 liters of premium date seed oil. The oil is sold locally to cosmetic manufacturers and health food stores, with plans to export to European markets. This project demonstrates how agricultural waste can be transformed into high-value products, aligning with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 goals for sustainable resource utilization.
