Foodmax Machines successfully delivered a 20TPD sunflower seed oil extraction line to Croatia for an edible oil processor. The turnkey system is designed for sunflower seed and rapeseed processing. Our sunflower oil processing line helped the client improve oil yield, reduce labor costs, and produce stable EU-grade edible oil for local market supply.
Client’s Demands for Sunflower Seed Oil Extraction
Aedible oil processor in Croatia reached out to Foodmax Machines for a full processing upgrade last year. The client’s outdated standalone oil presses brought low oil yield, unstable finished oil quality, and high manual labor cost. They planned to apply for EU agricultural subsidies to build a standardized workshop. They needed a compact, fully compliant sunflower seed oil extraction solution.
Our engineering team customized a complete 20TPD sunflower seed oil extraction turnkey line matching the client’s small workshop space and EU industrial standards. The full set includes seed cleaning, shelling, cooking, screw pressing, and batch crude oil refining sections, all contact parts made of food-grade 304 stainless steel.

To meet local environmental rules, we equipped the sunflower seed oil production line with matched small wastewater treatment units. This helped the client pass local factory environmental inspection smoothly. The whole system supports simple PLC automatic control, requiring only 1–2 workers for daily operation. All machines pass CE LVD & EMC certification, fully eligible for Croatia’s local production filing and EU subsidy application.
Boosted oil extraction rate by over 7% compared with the old presses.
Cut labor demand by half and reduced daily operating costs.
Delivered stable EU-grade sunflower oil for local retail channels.
Improved production consistency by around 20%.
Reduced workshop space needs by about 25%.
Cut manual handling steps by more than 40%.
Supported daily operation with only 1-2 workers per shift.
Enabled dual processing of sunflower seed and rapeseed.
“As an edible oil processor in Croatia, we are very happy with this turnkey oil extraction line. The machine runs stably, and the oil yield is better than before. It was a smooth project, and we would gladly recommend them to other oil producers.” — Croatian Factory Owner
