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.
Confirm who handles shelling, hull removal, screening, dust removal, and kernel buffering before the press room is sized.
Check shell chips, broken kernels, damaged kernels, and moisture before assuming the feed is ready for roasting or pressing.
A cleaner starting point lets the discussion move faster into hot aroma, lower-temperature positioning, and post-press clarity.
Use the clip to decide whether shelling, hull removal, cleaning, and feeding belong in this phase instead of quoting only the press.
Feed start
Use this clip to decide whether shelling, cleaning, and grading belong in the current phase.
Feed routeDifferent feed starting points change prep, roasting, pressing, and filtration scope.
Include or clearly exclude shelling, hull removal, cleaning, dust control, and kernel buffering in the quotation boundary.
Attach photos that show shell chips, sand, broken kernels, damaged kernels, and whether second cleaning is needed.
Move the decision toward kernel grade, moisture discipline, feeding method, hot pressing, or lower-temperature pressing.
If pods and purchased kernels both appear, design prep and buffering around the less stable feed path.
Project data
Project boundary
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.
Factory model check
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
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.
Record feed form, daily volume, moisture, and sorting needs so pretreatment is not left to operators.
Define pneumatic/plate-frame filtration, tanks, retained samples, and cake offtake before press count. Factory hot lines often use multi-layer paper filters.
Prepare space, power (often 380V/50Hz/3ph), labor, target package, local rules, and acceptance method before quotation.
Questions to confirm next
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.
