Oil Press Machine Price in Bangladesh: Choosing a Mustard Oil Press from China

For a mustard oil business in Bangladesh, the usual choice is a screw oil press (expeller) from China, sized to the tonnes of seed you can buy and sell each day, plus a filter to clear the oil and a filling machine for bottles. A hydraulic press suits small-batch premium or cold-pressed oil, and a traditional-style ghani suits shops that sell “kachi ghani” oil by its taste and smell. The oil press machine price in Bangladesh depends on capacity, steel quality, motor size, heating and filtering options, so ask DE International for a current quote built around your seed volume; we source the machine in China and deliver it door-to-door.

Which oil press machine suits a mustard oil business

Mustard (sarisha) is the oil most small presses in Bangladesh run on, followed by sesame (til), groundnut, black cumin (kalojira) for small premium bottles, and coconut in coastal areas. Each seed behaves differently in a press, so the first question a good Chinese supplier will ask is not “what capacity” but “which seed, and do you want cold or hot pressed oil”.

Press type	How it works	Best for	Watch out for
Screw press (expeller)	A rotating screw squeezes seed against a barrel and pushes out cake at one end, oil at the slots	Daily mustard oil production from a few hundred kg upward	Barrel temperature; too hot changes the pungency mustard buyers expect
Screw press with heating ring and vacuum filter	Same as above with a barrel heater for cold starts and a built-in filter	Small shops that want one compact unit	Built-in filters clog fast with mustard; plan a separate filter too
Hydraulic press	A piston presses pre-warmed seed in a cage; batch process	Sesame, black cumin, premium cold-pressed bottles	Low throughput; not suited to bulk mustard
Ghani-style rotary press	A rotating pestle grinds and presses slowly in a mortar	Shops selling traditional taste at a premium	Slow; often built locally, so compare before importing

A practical point: most screw presses sold for mustard can also press sesame and groundnut, but the screw and barrel settings differ. Ask the supplier to confirm the exact seeds the machine has been tested on and to send a video of it pressing mustard, not just soybean or peanut.

What decides the oil press machine price in Bangladesh

• Seed capacity per hour. Stated as kg of seed in, not litres of oil out. Oil yield depends on your seed’s oil content and moisture, so treat any yield figure as a supplier claim to test.
• Screw and barrel steel. Hardened alloy screws last much longer; soft screws wear and the cake gets oilier week by week.
• Motor and power. Larger presses need three-phase power. Check the motor rating and whether your premises has the connection.
• Heating, cooling and filtering. Barrel heaters, vacuum filters and oil pumps add cost but save labour.
• Contact parts. Stainless steel oil trays, tanks and pipes cost more than painted steel but do not rust into the oil.
• Spare parts kit. Spare screws, press rings and cake-outlet parts are the wear items; order them with the machine.

We do not publish a fixed price because the same “model number” can come with very different steel, motors and accessories. The fair way is to compare quotes line by line for your seed and capacity, which is what our sourcing service does.

What a complete small mustard oil line needs

A press on its own is not a business. A complete small line usually looks like this, in order of the seed’s journey:

1. Seed cleaning. A vibrating sieve or destoner removes stones, sand and straw. Stones damage the screw; sand makes the oil cloudy.
2. Moisture control. Mustard pressed too dry or too wet gives poor yield. Many small mills dry seed in the sun; a small dryer or roaster gives more control.
3. Pressing. The screw press itself. Some operators press twice for better yield; ask the supplier whether the model is designed for single or double pressing.
4. Settling and filtering. Fresh oil carries fine particles (foots). A settling tank followed by a plate-and-frame filter press is common; a centrifugal filter is faster and takes less space.
5. Storage tanks. Stainless steel tanks with lids keep dust and insects out.
6. Filling and sealing. A semi-automatic filling machine for bottles or jars, then capping and labelling. See our guide to liquid filling machines.

The leftover cake (khoil) is not waste. Mustard cake is widely sold in Bangladesh as cattle feed and organic fertiliser, so plan a place to bag and store it dry.

Cold pressed vs hot pressed mustard oil

Bangladeshi buyers judge mustard oil by its sharp, nose-tingling pungency (jhaj). That pungency comes from compounds that form when crushed mustard meets moisture, and they are sensitive to heat. A screw press that runs too hot gives more oil but can flatten the smell customers look for. This is why many small mills keep press speed moderate and avoid heavy pre-roasting for mustard, while sesame and groundnut are often lightly roasted for flavour.

If you plan to market “cold pressed” oil, ask the supplier whether the press has barrel temperature control and how the barrel is cooled. A claim on your label has to be something your process actually delivers.

Licences and food rules to check before you start

• Trade licence and BIN for the business, and an IRC if you import the machine in your own name. Our guide on machine import rules explains the paperwork.
• BSTI certification. Edible oils are among the food products BSTI expects to carry its certification mark before sale. Confirm the current requirement for your oil with BSTI before you print labels.
• Vitamin A fortification. Bangladesh has a law on fortifying edible oil with vitamin A. Check with BSTI or a food consultant whether and how it applies to your oil type and pack size.
• Labelling. Packed oil needs proper labels with manufacturer details, dates and MRP; see our post on labelling requirements.

Common mistakes when buying an oil press from China

• Buying by capacity alone. A press rated for soybean may struggle with small, hard mustard seed. Ask for a mustard test.
• No filter planned. Unfiltered oil turns cloudy and develops off-smells faster on the shelf.
• Single-phase surprise. The machine arrives with a three-phase motor and the shop only has single-phase power.
• Ignoring wear parts. Screws and press rings wear; waiting weeks for a spare from China stops production.
• Wrong customs description. Declaring it vaguely invites questions. Describe it as an oil expeller with model and capacity; see machinery customs clearance.

How DE International helps

We shortlist presses from Chinese manufacturers in Henan, Shandong and Guangdong that build for mustard, ask for pressing videos with your seed type, compare quotes line by line, check the machine before it leaves China, and handle freight and C&F to your door in Bangladesh. For bigger lines we can also source the cleaner, filter press, tanks and filling machine together, so everything arrives in one shipment. Freight options are explained on decl.bd.

FAQ

Which oil press machine is best for mustard oil in Bangladesh?
A screw oil expeller sized to your daily seed volume, with a separate filter. A hydraulic or ghani-style press suits small premium batches.

What is the oil press machine price in Bangladesh?
It depends on capacity, screw steel, motor, heating and filtering options. Ask us for a current quote for the seed and output you need.

Can one machine press mustard, sesame and groundnut?
Usually yes, but settings and sometimes screws differ. Ask the supplier to confirm and test with each seed.

Do I need BSTI approval to sell mustard oil?
Edible oils generally need BSTI certification before sale. Confirm current rules with BSTI for your product.
