Preparation

First identify whether the feed is pods, shelled kernels, or press-ready cleaned kernels

The feed-start question has to be answered first. In-shell peanuts cannot be quoted like press-ready kernels; shelled kernels still need checks for shell chips, broken kernels, damaged kernels, moisture, and grading stability.

Separate in-shell peanuts, shelled kernels, and cleaned graded kernels before sizing the peanut oil press line.

In-shell peanuts

Confirm who handles shelling, hull removal, screening, dust removal, and kernel buffering before the press room is sized.

Shelled kernels

Check shell chips, broken kernels, damaged kernels, and moisture before assuming the feed is ready for roasting or pressing.

Clean graded kernels

A cleaner starting point lets the discussion move faster into hot aroma, lower-temperature positioning, and post-press clarity.

Peanut feed route referenceFeed route

Separate pods, shelled kernels, and graded kernels

Different feed starting points change prep, roasting, pressing, and filtration scope.

Step 1

Pod entry

Include or clearly exclude shelling, hull removal, cleaning, dust control, and kernel buffering in the quotation boundary.

Step 2

Shelled-kernel entry

Attach photos that show shell chips, sand, broken kernels, damaged kernels, and whether second cleaning is needed.

Step 3

Clean-kernel entry

Move the decision toward kernel grade, moisture discipline, feeding method, hot pressing, or lower-temperature pressing.

Step 4

Mixed feed entry

If pods and purchased kernels both appear, design prep and buffering around the less stable feed path.

Project data

Clear feed photos are more useful than asking for a model first

  • Pod photos should show shell ratio, impurity level, dust, and whether centralized shelling is required.
  • Kernel photos should show shell chips, broken kernels, damaged kernels, mold risk, and grading consistency.
  • State whether feed arrives in bags, bulk, or bins, and whether daily supply is continuous or batch-based.
  • If shellers or graders already exist, send equipment photos, capacity, and discharge position.
  • Connect feed grade to the intended hot-aroma route or lower-temperature route before asking for final scope.

What to confirm before scoping Peanut Shelling, Cleaning, and Kernel Grading Before Pressing

Peanut Shelling, Cleaning, and Kernel Grading Before Pressing 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

When discussing Peanut Shelling, Cleaning, and Kernel Grading Before Pressing, pin models to published factory specs — not tonnage alone.

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).

Equipment check

Preparation needs to land in equipment interfaces

After Peanut Shelling, Cleaning, and Kernel Grading Before Pressing 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.

Front-end input

Record feed form, daily volume, moisture, and sorting needs so pretreatment is not left to operators.

Filtration, tanks, and peanut cake

Define pneumatic/plate-frame filtration, tanks, retained samples, and cake offtake before press count. Factory hot lines often use multi-layer paper filters.

Delivery data

Prepare space, power (often 380V/50Hz/3ph), labor, target package, local rules, and acceptance method before quotation.

Questions to confirm next

Clear these up first

Only as a rough direction. A formal scope needs to say whether shelling and cleaning belong in this phase because that changes prep equipment, roasting load, filtration, and layout.

Send pods or kernels before asking for a roaster

Feed photos, shelling status, kernel grading, and impurity notes make the scope much clearer.
