OIL GHANI MACHINE
- “Introduction”
Twenty-plus years ago, we started with a simple idea: cold-pressed oil shouldn’t be a compromise between quality and scale. Today, that idea has grown into a workshop in Nashik where every oil ghani machine we build still gets the same attention the first one did.
We’ve never chased volume for its own sake. Instead, more than 500 small-scale entrepreneurs across India now run machines we’ve manufactured — many of them referred by word of mouth from one oil mill owner to the next. If you’re curious about how this style of extraction became what it is today, it’s worth reading through the story behind traditional oil extraction and the history of the wooden oil ghani machine — the same principles still shape how we design machines today.
- What Makes These Machines Different
There’s a reason cold-press oil tastes different from what comes off a chemical extraction line — heat. Push a seed too hard, too fast, and you burn away the aroma and nutrients along with the oil. Our machines are built to avoid exactly that. The drum turns slowly, deliberately, keeping the seed cool enough that what comes out the other end still smells like what went in.
That’s not a marketing line — it’s the whole engineering philosophy. Every gearbox ratio, every scraper angle, every motor spec on this page exists to protect that slow, low-heat crush.
We offer two builds, depending on how much control you want over the process:
The Standard Model runs on a 3HP motor and handles 12–20 kg an hour — a solid, dependable workhorse for a mill that’s finding its rhythm.
The Smart Model steps things up with a 5HP motor, pushing capacity to 25 kg an hour, and adds something most machines in this price range don’t: a live readout of RPM, temperature, and batch timing right on the control panel, so you’re not guessing what’s happening inside the drum. It also runs up to 30% more efficiently on power — which adds up fast if you’re running batches all day.
Both machines share the same backbone: a Jindal SS304 food-grade tank, SKF/FAG bearings that don’t quit, a 45-degree movable scraper in stainless steel, and dual-stage gearing built to handle years of daily use. Everything sits inside a Rittal-enclosed panel, wired with Polycab cable and switched with Siemens and L&T gear — the kind of components you choose when you don’t want a service call six months in.

“Machine Capacity 12 to 25 KG, per charge/batch which takes time for 35 to 40 minutes only. Revolution of drum 2 TO 14 R.P.M. Electric power Consumption 03 Units for per charge. One man can operate two machines at a time. The machine requires floor space 4ft. X 4.5ft. only. Even Ladies can operate these machine as they are simple in construction and easy to operate. The drum rotates itself machine do not need any type of foundation.”
Easy Enough for a First-Time Operator
One person can run two machines at once, and the learning curve is short — we’ve had first-time operators, including complete newcomers to milling, comfortable with the controls within a day or two. That simplicity was deliberate. A machine that’s hard to run is a machine that eventually gets misused.
Want to know more about how we think about quality and service? Have a look at why our customers stick with us, what we’re working toward as a company, and who’s actually running the business. We’re ISO 9001:2015 certified, which isn’t a requirement for machines like this — we hold ourselves to it anyway.
Who Ends Up Buying From Us
Mostly it’s people building something: a cold-press oil brand starting from a rented shed, an FPO looking to add value to a season’s harvest instead of selling it raw, an existing mill finally automating after years of manual pressing, or a food company that wants oil they can trace back to the seed. If any of that sounds like you, we’ve probably built a machine for someone in a similar position before.
If You're Starting Smaller
Not every business needs the full commercial setup on day one. If you’re testing the market or working with a tighter budget, our affordable oil ghani machine for small-scale extraction is worth a look. And if you specifically want the older wooden-style press — some buyers do, for the aesthetic or the tradition — we still build the Lakdi Ghana Machine.
Common Questions
What's actually different between the Standard and Smart models?
Mainly power and visibility. The Smart model gives you a stronger motor, higher throughput, and a live readout of what’s happening inside the machine as it runs — the Standard model does the same core job without those extras.
Do I need to pour a foundation before installing this?
No. The drum is self-contained and rotates on its own base.
I've never run an oil mill before — is that a problem?
Not really. Most of our 500+ customers started exactly where you are now. The controls are built to be learned quickly, and our team walks you through installation and operation.
What happens after I buy the machine?
We stay involved. Spare parts, technical support, troubleshooting calls — the relationship doesn’t end at delivery, and honestly, that’s where most of our repeat referrals come from.
