Peanut feed, pressing, filtration, and cake handoff

Define feed, route, and post-press scope before peanut project sizing

A quotable peanut project brief should cover pods or kernels, output target, hot-aroma or lower-temperature positioning, crude-oil filtration and storage, peanut cake handling, workshop size, and utility limits.

Feed data

Photos of pods, shelled kernels, or clean graded kernels, plus moisture, impurity, and existing prep method.

Process data

Hot aroma, lower-temperature route, or dual-product plan, plus retained roasters, filters, and tanks.

Site data

Workshop dimensions, voltage, doorway, lifting limits, movement path, and where this phase stops.

Peanut oil project quotation data checklist

Collect feed, process, workshop, post-press handoff, and attachments together

Put the information that changes quotation boundary into one project brief.

Use the real pressing clip to check your own project data

Map roasting, loading, pressing, oil discharge, and handoff in the clip back to your workshop conditions.

Use the peanut pressing clip to check project data

When preparing project data, map loading, pressing, oil discharge, and post-press handoff back to the real workshop.

Peanut project scope packet
Scope packet

Current scope, future reserve, and retained plant conditions

Useful for aligning quotation boundary, attachments, and downstream handoff.

Step 1

Feed

Photos of pods, kernels, or graded kernels with moisture, impurities, damaged kernels, and bag or bulk status.

Step 2

Output

State target by hour, shift, or day instead of annual capacity only; include shift pattern.

Step 3

Route

Hot aroma, lower-temperature positioning, or dual-product route, plus retained roasters, filters, and tanks.

Step 4

Post-press

Filter first, settle first, storage tank, refining or filling extension, and how peanut cake is handled.

Step 5

Site

Workshop length, width, height, voltage, doorway, drainage, lifting limits, and retained equipment.

Step 6

Phase

Press-only or press plus filtration and storage now, with a note on possible refining or filling later.

Avoid rework

These vague inputs make quotations change repeatedly

  • Writing only 'peanuts' without saying pods, shelled kernels, or clean graded kernels.
  • Asking for a whole-set price without output, shifts, and current-phase boundary.
  • Saying filtration is needed without saying filter-first, settle-first, storage, or later refining.
  • Talking only about oil while ignoring cake sale, crushing, storage, or outward movement.
  • For workshop upgrades, sending no photos or dimensions until layout has already started.
Check the feed entry first

Questions to confirm next

Can I ask for a price without complete data?
You can get a direction, but final scope needs feed condition, output, route, post-press destination, and plant limits or the quotation boundary will keep changing.
Why mention peanut cake before pricing?
Cake sale, crushing, or storage changes press-area space, labor movement, and sometimes supporting equipment, so it belongs in the first project brief.
