Peanut feed, pressing, filtration, and cake handoff

Plan a peanut oil press line from feed preparation to oil and cake handling.

Start with the feed you actually have, then decide the press, filtration, storage, and cake-handling scope.

Tell us whether you start from pods or kernels, whether the route is hot or lower-temperature pressing, and where crude oil plus peanut cake should go after the press.

  • Start by confirming whether the feed is in-shell peanuts, shelled kernels, or cleaned graded kernels before comparing press classes.
  • Keep shift rhythm, workshop photos, retained roasting or filtration equipment, crude-oil routing, and cake handling in one project brief.
  • When filtration, settling, storage, and cake receiving are clear early, model choice and workshop layout are easier to align.

Peanut Oil Press

From raw material to finished oil — design, manufacturing, installation, and technical support for small to large-scale oil plants. Qingzhou, Weifang, Shandong Province, China.

300-630 ton hydraulic lineup

Seven hydraulic models from 300–630 ton — hot (300/325) and cold (355–500 class) with 100 kg max feed per batch (see spec tables).

One-stop oil plant scope

Pressing, refining, dewaxing, filtration, filling, and supporting equipment — ODM supported for complete oil projects. Since 2008: 200+ staff, 1000+ customers served.

Project path

Three steps to judge scope, then send requirements

Real projects do not need a long directory first. Start with feed, route, and post-press handoff; after that, the factory can discuss scope directly.

1

Route and flavor target

Confirm the feed starting point

Whole seed, kernels, screened feed, moisture, and impurities change pretreatment and press rhythm.

See feed prep
2

Pressing and filtration

Choose hot, cold, or product route

Route decides roasting, temperature, filtration, oil finish, and packaging before model comparison.

See route options
3

Product format and brief

Send the project inputs to the factory

Output target, workshop, voltage, downstream handoff, and photos make sizing much faster.

Prepare peanut project conditions

Photos and videos first

See equipment, workshop, and delivery before the details

If the full brief is not ready yet, these clips show barrels, pressing, cake discharge, workshop layout, larger models, and export delivery so the scope becomes easier to place.

Check peanut form and cleaning first

Before quoting, confirm whether the project starts from in-shell peanuts, kernels, or cleaned kernels ready for pressing.

Pressing scene
00:37

See loading, press rhythm, and cake discharge

Use this scene to decide whether the phase is only the press or also roasting, transfer, oil receiving, and cake handling.

Crude oil handoff
00:44

Decide settling, filtration, or storage after oil flow

Once oil flow is visible, filtration grade, tank size, storage method, and packing boundary become easier to define.

Barrel and model
00:14

See the 300 / 325 / 355 barrel and model scale

Seeing the barrel, frame, and loading space makes capacity, shifts, and model selection easier to discuss.

Workshop
00:16

Workshop view for layout and operating side

Useful for checking footprint, access aisles, loading side, cake discharge, and filtration position.

Cake discharge
00:14

Cake discharge should be planned with oil handling

Bagging, bins, or crushing after discharge changes press-room flow and by-product value.

Capacity upgrade
00:14

500 model view before expansion or multi-press planning

When the project moves beyond trial batches, workshop height, lifting, loading, and filtration need to be checked together.

Export case
00:14

Export projects need voltage, packing, and delivery conditions

For export projects, voltage, crate packing, spare parts, installation mode, and destination port should be aligned early.

Delivery scene
00:14

Delivery depends on installation interfaces prepared early

Fast startup after arrival depends on power, foundation, lifting, and staffing being confirmed before shipment.

Project path

Start the peanut project with feed, route, scope, and handoff

Before press tonnage is compared, confirm feed condition, route choice, current-phase scope, and the post-press handoff.

Start with feed preparation
Step 1

Name the feed honestly: pods, shelled kernels, or graded kernels

If shelling stays inside this phase, the press discussion, roasting load, and workshop layout all change before machine comparison even starts.

Step 2

Lock the route before arguing over press classes

A practical hot route usually belongs with wok or drum roasting language, while a premium lower-temperature route needs stronger kernel discipline and cleaner post-press handling.

Step 3

Freeze what this purchase actually covers

Press only, press plus filtration, or a phase that already reserves ties into settling, storage, refining, or filling. That boundary changes both layout and quotation logic.

Step 4

Define the crude-oil and cake handoff early

Pneumatic filtration, settling tanks, buffer tanks, cake collection, and downstream transfer should be included in the main project path instead of appearing as vague add-ons later.

Scope this phase

State where this phase stops before the quotation is built

Many peanut projects do not buy a whole line at once. They upgrade an existing workshop, add filtration, or prepare pipe and tank interfaces for a later refining or filling phase.

Review the line boundary

Press room as a standalone purchase

Useful when shelling or roasting already exists and the buyer mainly needs a stable loading rhythm plus a clear crude-oil handoff.

Pressing and filtration together

A stronger fit when the first phase must include cleaner crude oil, clearer sediment control, and a more usable handoff to tanks.

Reserve the downstream interface now

Even if storage, refining, or filling are deferred, the next interface should be described so the first quotation does not stay abstract.

  • Hot-route projects are rarely just about the press. They are about roasting, batch packing, filter timing, and labor rhythm together.
  • Upgrade projects need to say what equipment stays in service and what modules are new, instead of asking for a vague 'peanut oil machine.'
  • If peanut cake has value, say so early. Cake collection, pulverizing, or storage should not wait until the third quotation revision.
  • Separating current scope from future scope keeps the quotation boundary stable.

After pressing

Show where crude oil goes next, not just how oil comes out

A peanut project feels more credible when filtration, settling, storage, and cake flow appear beside the press instead of hiding inside a later FAQ.

Review post-press layout

Filter first, then move to tank

A better fit when appearance, sediment control, or a cleaner handoff to later refining already matter in phase one.

Settle first, then process further

Useful for workshops with existing tank assets, but only if the batch rhythm and holding logic are shown clearly.

Keep cake handling visible

If cake is sold, reused, or prepared for later processing, treat it like part of the main line logic instead of waste disappearing off screen.

  • Show whether crude oil moves into pneumatic filtration, settling, buffer storage, or directly downstream instead of saying only that filtration is optional.
  • Retail-facing peanut oil projects notice clarity and finish immediately, so post-press timing belongs much earlier in the project story.
  • If refining or filling may come later, reserve the interface now; otherwise the future expansion starts with avoidable rework.
  • Once post-press flow is written concretely, pressing, filtration, storage, and packaging can be quoted against the same scope.

RFQ pack

For a quotation that survives review, send these details together

A useful project packet brings together feed proof, scope proof, plant proof, and the intended handoff after pressing.

Open the pre-pricing data checklist
  • State whether the feed is pods, shelled kernels, or graded kernels and attach one to three feed photos instead of writing only 'peanuts.'
  • Give output targets by hour or shift and say whether the workshop runs one shift, two shifts, or in intermittent batches.
  • Name the route, then list any existing wok roasters, drum roasters, filters, settling tanks, or storage tanks that stay in service.
  • Add workshop dimensions, voltage, doorway or lifting constraints, and any photos that show how new equipment must enter the room.
  • Explain where crude oil goes immediately after pressing and whether peanut cake is collected, stored, pulverized, sold, or reused.
  • If this phase stops at the press room, include one note about the likely next phase so the quotation does not get reviewed in the wrong scope.
A useful project packet should make scope, layout, and delivery review possible without another round of vague follow-up.

Pressing, filtration, and product handoff

Peanut machine selection starts with route logic, not tonnage. Hot route: 300-325 ton, roast 160-180°C, press 80-100°C, yield 40-48%, residual oil 6-8%. Cold route: 355-500 ton, ≤60°C, yield 35-42%, residual oil 8-10%. Either way, shelling quality, kernel moisture 5-8%, aflatoxin control <20 μg/kg, roast discipline, batch size 100 kg/barrel, filtration 200-300 mesh, and cake protein 45-50% matter more than headline tonnage.

Hot-route workflow with real hard data

Roast 160-180°C → moisture to 3-5% → 300-325 ton hydraulic press at 80-100°C → 100 kg/barrel, 30-40 min → plate-frame filter 200-300 mesh → crude oil clarity target: sediment ≤0.1%, moisture ≤0.2%.

Press family matched to route temperature

Hot peanut lines: 300-325 ton, 80-100°C, higher throughput. Cold premium: 355-500 ton, ≤60°C, lower yield but premium positioning. Do not use cold-press claims for hot-route oil.

Batch references with real numbers

Standard barrel 390 mm × 800 mm loads ~100 kg. Model 325 uses 14 partitions. Hot cycle: 30-40 min/barrel. Cold cycle: 60-90 min/barrel. Residual oil hot 6-8%, cold 8-10%.

Aflatoxin control and food safety

Aflatoxin B1 limit <20 μg/kg (EU) / <20 ppb (US). Damaged/moldy kernels must be removed by color sorter or manual picking. Test every batch. One contaminated batch can destroy an entire export shipment.

Start with these 3 peanut decisions

Lock the peanut feed, module chain, and project brief first, then move into the narrower topics with more context.

Align the common questions first

Common project questions

Start with route, flavor target, oil appearance, and project-prep questions before moving into narrower equipment topics.

Do peanuts need shelling before hydraulic pressing?
Yes. Shells are 30-40% of pod weight and contain no oil. Hydraulic pressing works only on shelled kernels. If you have pods, shelling must be in scope. Shelling also generates 30-40% by-product (shells) that need a disposal or sales plan.
Is peanut oil usually hot pressed or cold pressed?
Hot pressing is standard for edible-oil plants: roast 160-180°C, press 80-100°C, yield 40-48%, residual oil 6-8%. Cold pressing (≤60°C) is for premium bottled brands: yield 35-42%, residual oil 8-10%, smoke point ~160°C unrefined. Hot press is 2-3× more productive per hour.
What output data should I expect?
Hot press on good kernels (oil 44-56%, moisture 5-8%): oil yield 40-48% of kernel weight, residual oil in cake 6-8%. Cold press: yield 35-42%, residual oil 8-10%. These depend on kernel quality, roast discipline, press maintenance, and filtration. Aflatoxin-free kernels are essential for food-grade oil.
What should I send before asking for peanut equipment pricing?
Daily capacity (kg/shift or barrels/day). Feed form: pods or shelled kernels. Kernel oil content and moisture (tested). Hot or cold route. Aflatoxin control method. Shelling status. Cake plan (feed ingredient, food-grade flour, or waste). Workshop photos and dimensions. Existing roasting, settling, or filtration equipment.
Should a peanut oil line start from pods or kernels?
Both are possible, but they are different scopes. Pods require shelling, cleaning, and kernel grading before the press; cleaned kernels can move directly toward roasting or lower-temperature pressing.
When is hot pressed peanut oil the better route?
Hot pressing fits practical edible-oil projects that value roasted aroma, smoother oil release, and stable shift rhythm. Lower-temperature pressing needs cleaner kernels and stricter post-press handling.
Why should peanut cake handling be planned with filtration?
Oil and cake leave the press together in the same shift. If cake is sold, stored, crushed, or used as feed, discharge direction and stacking area should be planned beside oil filtration and storage.
