Fifteen free planning tools for edible-oil processing — yield, capacity, ROI, budget, electricity, process choice and troubleshooting. Free, with no sign-up. Estimates depend on the stated inputs and assumptions; route tools provide guidance rather than a plant design.
Choose your project stage, then open the crop-specific instructions. Start with the raw material, process route and equipment scope before comparing supplier quotations.
Set the feed, process boundary, required output and test-data requests before asking for an offer.
Sunflower · Groundnut / peanut · Soybean · Rapeseed / canola
Retain original values, units, reporting bases and source documents. Record missing or mismatched items.
Sunflower · Groundnut / peanut · Soybean · Rapeseed / canola
Agree the actual parties, connections, deliverables, owners and review authority.
Sunflower · Groundnut / peanut · Soybean · Rapeseed / canola
Agree methods, criteria and FAT/SAT scope before testing; retain actual results and authorized decisions.
Sunflower · Groundnut / peanut · Soybean · Rapeseed / canola
Use dispatch, site-startup and handover reviews to track evidence, deviations, retests and remaining decisions.

These are planning and evidence-request resources. Blank records and fictional filling examples are not measured production results, supplier guarantees or signed acceptance evidence. Read each resource's source and scope notes before use.

Seed + quantity in → honest oil & cake range out. The question every miller asks first.
Daily target → the press throughput class and shift plan you need.
Seed cost, oil price, volume → payback months and honest margin.
Your equipment, building and working capital → a realistic total to start.
Motor power, hours, tariff → running electricity cost per day and per kg.
Five questions → which pressing route fits your market, seed and volume.
Pick the symptom → the stage responsible and the fix, mapped to processes.
Seed + scale + priority → recommended extraction method and machine category.
Pick a seed → its processing route, machines and key notes (decision tree).
FFA + scale + degumming + effluent → physical vs chemical refining.
Is a second pass worth it? Recovered oil and its daily value.
Oil + packaging + storage → indicative shelf-life band and tips.
kg↔litres by density, t/day↔kg/hr, seed mass→oil mass.
Pick any two extraction methods/machines → instant side-by-side (comparison engine).
Pick any two oilseeds → side-by-side oil content, route, cake (comparison engine).
Each tool cross-links to the processing stage and machine category it relates to, so a number always leads to the knowledge behind it.
