The cheapest peanut press quote is usually the one missing half the line

Before pricing

The data that actually changes a peanut quote

1. Step 1

   1 · Feed form and quality

   Pods or shelled kernels? Shell is 30-40% of pod weight. State kernel oil content (44-56%), tested moisture (target 5-8%), and how damaged/moldy kernels are removed.

2. Step 2

   2 · Route and target output

   Hot (80-100°C, yield 40-48%) or cold (≤60°C, yield 35-42%)? Give output by kg/shift or barrels/day rather than an annual figure — cycle is 30-40 min hot, 60-90 min cold per 100 kg barrel.

3. Step 3

   3 · Post-press and cake plan

   Filtration mesh (200-300), settling, storage tanks, and where cake (protein 45-50%) goes: feed, food-grade flour, or re-pressing. Reserve refining/filling interfaces if they come later.

4. Step 4

   4 · Site and utilities

   Workshop dimensions, voltage, roaster fuel, doorway/lifting limits, and photos of any existing roasting, settling, or filtration equipment that stays in service.

Avoid rework

Quote mistakes that cost peanut customers later

• Comparing a press-only price against a full-line price as if they were the same offer.
• Giving annual tonnage instead of kg/shift, so the press cell count and roaster size can't be sized.
• Leaving aflatoxin control out of scope — food-grade and export oil require color sorting or picking plus per-batch testing (<20 μg/kg).
• Forgetting the cake route, so cake (45-50% protein) piles up and blocks the oil room.

A complete brief turns three rounds of vague follow-up into one accurate quote. Send the four data blocks above together.

What to confirm before scoping Peanut Oil Press customer Checklist

Peanut Oil Press customer Checklist should not be quoted from an equipment name alone. Check feed lots, target oil, post-press handling, and packing rhythm in one scope before deciding which Peanut Oil Press modules stay. Listed on the factory hot-press page — discuss 300/325 first.

When feed condition, moisture, impurities, batch weight, and product position are unclear, press tonnage and filter area become guesswork. Factory systems share 60 MPa and 2.2 kW motors; hot pure press is 30–40 min/barrel and cold pure press is ~2 h/barrel — cycle time matters more than brochure tonnage.

• Confirm whether feed is whole seed, kernels, pretreated material, or an existing semi-finished stream.
• Confirm whether the target is crude oil, filtered oil, bottled oil, drum ingredient oil, or a refining handoff.
• Hot cycle reference: pure press 30-40 min/barrel, ~1.5 h for 2 barrels with loading; cold pure press ~2 h/barrel, ~4.5 h for 2 barrels.
• Confirm batch rhythm, labor, changeover, retained samples, power (often 380V/50Hz/3ph), and site install conditions.

Factory model check

Match hot / cold models to factory hard data

Pin models to published factory specs before tonnage talk.

Hot 300/325: 300–325 ton, 60 MPa system, standard barrel Ø390×800 mm / max 100 kg, pure press 30–40 min/barrel, ~1.5 h for 2 barrels with loading, 2.2 kW motor. Cold 355/400/426/480/500: 370–630 ton, integrated frame, same 100 kg standard barrel, pure press ~2 h/barrel, ~4.5 h for 2 barrels with loading; optional Ø300 high-pressure barrel max 60 kg. Residual oil target ~≤5% (peanut hot often 6–8% measured).

• Standard barrel Ø390×800 mm, max ~100 kg crushed feed; optional Ø300 high-pressure barrel max ~60 kg.
• Cylinder material 27SiMn; cold frames are integrated molded steel; hot frames are typically H-type channel steel.
• Listed on the factory hot-press page — discuss 300/325 first.

Equipment check

project scope needs to land in equipment interfaces

Once the route is clear, write the interfaces: how preparation feeds the press, how oil leaves the press, how filtration connects to tanks, and how packing receives finished oil.
