How Does a Vacuum Oil Filter Machine Work?
The edible oil filter is usually used in conjunction with the oil press. After the crude oil is squeezed out of the oil press, it still contains fine suspended solids, plant fibers and moisture. The vacuum oil filter uses a vacuum pump to extract the air in the oil storage tank, and after forming a vacuum negative pressure, the oil is sucked into the vacuum barrel through the filter cloth. Therefore, it is sometimes called a vacuum pump edible oil filter.
The basic operating principle is as follows:
- Oil inlet: Crude oil flows from the oil press into the oil pan on the upper layer of the vacuum oil filter tank, and the oil pan is pre-laid with filter cloth or filter paper.
- Negative pressure filtration: Under the action of vacuum, the oil is sucked into the fine filter cloth or filter plate. The negative pressure forces the oil to pass through the multi-layer filter medium of the filter cloth quickly and evenly, leaving solid particles. Clean oil is fed into the vacuum chamber and a constant vacuum environment is maintained by a vacuum pump.
- Dehumidification: After the vegetable oil enters the vacuum state, the dissolved water in the oil can be removed, further improving its clarity and shelf life.
- Filtered oil collection: The purified oil is then collected in a separate container for bottling, storage or further refining.
The overall process can be summarized as: Crude oil in → Vacuum pump creates negative pressure → Filtration → Clean oil out.
Key Advantages of Using a Vacuum Oil Filter for Edible Oil Production.
For small edible oil processors and farm oil mills, it is important to understand the actual advantages of different vegetable oil filters (such as vacuum oil filters, centrifugal oil filters, and plate and frame oil filters) when comparing them. Let me tell you what makes vacuum oil filters different.
- Compared with centrifugal oil filters, vacuum filtration has a better impurity removal effect and does not require the calculation of brine mixing ratios. The filter cloth of the vacuum oil filter can effectively capture fine solids and sediments from plant fibers, resulting in clear, high-quality oil.
- The vacuum environment helps to reduce residual moisture in the oil. This directly extends the shelf life of the oil, delays the rancidity of the oil, and improves the storage stability of the edible oil during sales.
- The mechanical stress level of vacuum filtration is lower than that of high-speed centrifugal oil filters. The filtering process creates less foam, less oxidation, and better preserves the oil’s natural color and nutrients.
- The vacuum oil filter can work continuously, which not only improves production efficiency, but also saves labor costs, which is especially valuable for small personal oil mills with limited manpower.
- Compared with some large industrial plate and frame oil filters, vacuum oil filters are relatively compact, easy to move and simple to maintain.
- One vacuum filter can handle multiple oilseed types – peanuts, sunflowers, sesame, rapeseed, palm kernels, etc. This means that there is no need to prepare multiple dedicated oil filters, helping small businesses save costs.
With the improvement of quality of life, consumers expect safer, clearer and longer-lasting cooking oil. Filtered oil and unfiltered oil directly determine whether you can gain a good market reputation.
Technical Specifications & Model Options.
One of our customers in northern Indonesia runs a small peanut oil mill that supplies fresh cooking oil to several surrounding villages and towns. Before investing in a vacuum oil filter, they said customers often complained about cloudy oil, short shelf life, and visible sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Now, with the integration of our vacuum oil filter, they are able to produce clearer, higher quality cooking oil. It can be stored longer even in hot and humid conditions and sold at a higher price. This seemingly simple upgrade has made a huge difference in their daily business.
When choosing a vacuum oil filter for your edible oil production, there are some practical points to consider. Here are some key factors we always advise our customers to consider before making a decision:
- Processing capacity:How much oil do you plan to filter per day or hour? Choosing the right filter’s model according to the output of the oil press can avoid production bottlenecks.
- Oil Type Compatibility:Local crops are always diverse and it is impossible for us to filter only one type of vegetable oil. Some crop oils contain more fine particles or water.
- Filtration accuracy:Any consumer has expectations for cooking oil quality. A quality vacuum filter removes fine solids and water for clear, safe, and longer-lasting cooking oil.
- Cost-effectiveness:Besides the upfront price, consider long-term operating costs, such as energy consumption, filter cloth replacement costs, and ease of maintenance. A vacuum oil filter that takes both price and cost into consideration can help you save money.
- Durability and build quality:In rural or high-humidity environments, a sturdy structure and high-quality seals can increase vacuum filter life.
- Space and mobility:Is your oil pressing business based in a fixed location or does it move from village to village? The compact mobile oil filter fits on a vehicle, while the stationary vacuum oil filter produces oil faster.
By considering these points, we can clearly understand which vacuum oil filter model is best suited for current business needs. Upgrade your old unit now for better plant oil quality.

How to Maintain and Operate a Vacuum Oil Filter Machine Safely?
Configuring a vacuum oil filter for your crop oil press is the first step to producing clean, pure edible oil. Proper operation and maintenance are very important to protect our investment and ensure that daily oil filtering goes smoothly.
Basic installation requirements.
Before you start, make sure that the vacuum oil filter is installed close to the oil press. The surrounding area is clean, flat and well ventilated to minimize the oil transfer time from the oil press tray to the vacuum oil filter. For power supply, make sure that the local voltage and frequency match the specifications of the motor & vacuum pump (for example, 220V/380V, 50Hz/60Hz). It is strongly recommended that a stable backup power supply be properly configured to protect the vacuum pump in rural areas where power is unstable.
Operation Process.
Following the basic steps below, even a novice can operate the vacuum oil filter very simply and safely:
- Pour the raw edible oil into the oil pan on the vacuum bucket.
- Start the vacuum pump, open the vacuum suction valve, close the air inlet valve, and establish negative pressure in the filter tank.
- The vacuum system will suck the oil through the filter layer and the oil will enter the bottom oil tank, where impurities are blocked by the filter cloth surface.
- Keep a close eye on the oil flow and pressure gauge. Make sure the filter cloth is not blocked and the oil is filtering smoothly (often use a scraper to gently stir the grease).
- After the oil is filtered, close the vacuum suction valve and open the air inlet valve to release the pressure.
- Collect the purified oil in a clean tank or container ready for bottling.
Daily Care and Routine Maintenance.
Regular maintenance is the key to keeping the vacuum oil filter running efficiently and avoiding unnecessary downtime or additional costs. Let me tell you some practical practices:
- Regularly replace the filter cloth or filter paper: Depending on the type of crop raw material and oil production, the filter cloth needs to be cleaned or replaced every 1000KG of crude oil filtered (or when the machine is closed at night) to maintain optimal filtration cleanliness.
- Check the vacuum pump: Check the oil level and seals of the vacuum pump regularly. If the vacuum pump oil is contaminated, replace the oil – this helps ensure stable negative pressure capacity and prolong the life of the pump.
- Check seals and valves: Keep all rubber seals, gaskets and valves in good condition to avoid leaks that reduce filtration efficiency.
- Keep the oil tank clean: Empty and clean the filter oil tank regularly to prevent old residues from contaminating new oil batches.
As long as the vacuum oil filter is properly maintained, all farm oil mills can ensure that every drop of oil produced meets the clarity and safety standards expected by surrounding residents, adding more value to your oil business.
If you plan to set up your own farm oil mill, we can provide step-by-step user guides, video tutorials or online technical support to help you confidently set up a vegetable oil mill in your local area.
