Edible Oil
Supporting Edible Oil Producers Across the Globe
Pro Cahaya Industries is a trusted automation and process control partner for the global edible oil industry, serving producers and refiners in Malaysia, Indonesia, India, China, Africa, and beyond. With growing global demand, rising regulatory expectations, and tighter production margins, edible oil manufacturers must optimize yield, ensure product consistency, and reduce energy use — all while maintaining food-grade and Halal compliance.
We provide smart automation, digital monitoring, and process optimization solutions tailored to each stage of edible oil production, helping clients scale globally while remaining agile locally.
Key Challenges in the Edible Oil Sector
Product Consistency
Variations in crude oil quality make it difficult to maintain uniformity in the final product.
Energy-Intensive Processes
Deodorization, hydrogenation, and fractionation stages consume high amounts of steam and electricity.
Manual Control & Data Recording
Many plants still rely on manual operation and paper-based logs, leading to errors and inefficiencies.
Stringent Compliance Requirements
Food-grade, Halal, and HACCP standards demand strict traceability and hygiene practices.
Waste Management
By-products like soapstock, spent earth, and acidic effluent must be monitored and optimized.
