Dingsheng Machine Deploys 1TPH Palm Oil Refinery Plant to Boost Burundi’s Local Edible Oil Industry

Date:Jun 1st, 2026

As Burundi accelerates agricultural industrial upgrading and strives for edible oil self-sufficiency under its national economic development strategy, a local palm oil processor has officially launched a brand-new 1 ton per hour (1TPH) palm oil refinery line supplied by Dingsheng Machine. The turnkey processing solution is tailored to solve the long-standing bottlenecks of Burundi’s crude palm oil processing industry, helping the country upgrade its traditional artisanal oil production and reduce reliance on imported refined edible oil.

Burundi Palm Oil Industry Pain Points & Policy Support

Known as the "Heart of Africa", Burundi is an agricultural-dominated country, with nearly 90% of its labor force engaged in agriculture. The country boasts abundant local oil palm resources, with massive smallholder farmers planting oil palm trees across rural areas, forming a stable supply of crude palm oil raw materials. However, the local palm oil industry has long been trapped in low-value processing modes.

Most local oil workshops adopt primitive manual and semi-artisanal processing methods without professional refining procedures. The locally produced crude palm oil features high acid value, excessive impurities and unstable quality, failing to meet East African and international edible oil safety standards. Unrefined crude oil can only be sold in scattered local markets with low profit margins and short shelf life. For a long time, high-quality refined palm oil for commercial sales and daily consumption has relied heavily on imports from Tanzania, Kenya and other neighboring countries, pushing up local edible oil costs and restricting the development of Burundi’s agricultural processing economy.

Customized 1TPH Palm Oil Refinery Line for Burundi Local Raw Materials

Against this industry background, Dingsheng Machine’s customized 1TPH palm oil refining production line perfectly fits the development needs of Burundi’s small and medium-sized oil processing enterprises. The complete production line adopts a mature four-stage refining process: degumming, deacidification, decolorization and deodorization, which is specially optimized targeting the characteristics of high acid value crude palm oil in Burundi.

This standardized refining process can effectively remove colloidal impurities, free fatty acids, pigments, trace metals and peculiar smell substances in local crude palm oil. After refined processing, the finished palm oil fully complies with East African community edible oil standards and EU food safety regulations, realizing great leaps in oil quality, shelf life and commercial value. Different from bulky, high-consumption large-scale refining equipment, Dingsheng’s 1TPH small refining line features compact structure, low water and power consumption, simple operation and convenient maintenance, which is highly adaptable to Burundi’s local factory infrastructure and technical personnel conditions.

Core Advantages of Dingsheng Palm Oil Refining Equipment & Services

1. Independent R&D Process, Superior Product Safety and Yield

Dingsheng Machine adopts self-developed full continuous refining technology and low-temperature deodorization process. The whole processing process avoids high-temperature damage to oil nutrients, and effectively controls harmful substances such as 3-MCPD. The quality of finished oil is far better than EU and East African edible oil industry standards. While ensuring top-tier food safety, the equipment maintains a high oil yield rate, maximizing the economic benefits for Burundian customers.

2. One-stop Full-chain Turnkey Service

Different from ordinary equipment traders who only sell machinery, Dingsheng Machine provides a full lifecycle one-stop service for overseas customers. The complete service system covers factory layout design, equipment production and supply, on-site installation and commissioning, local worker operation training, lifelong spare parts supply and 24/7 remote technical guidance. For Burundian clients, this all-round support eliminates technical barriers and post-operation worries, ensuring the long-term stable and efficient operation of the production line.

3. Rich East African Project Implementation Experience

With more than 20 years of professional experience in oil fat equipment manufacturing and overseas project delivery, Dingsheng Machine has deeply cultivated the East African market for a long time. The company has successfully launched mature palm oil refining and oil processing turnkey projects in Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania and other East African countries. Rich local project experience enables the company to accurately grasp the raw material characteristics, environmental conditions and market demands of East African countries, providing highly matched customized solutions for Burundi customers.
