Introduction

Designing a complete oil production line requires careful planning and integration of multiple components. A well-designed line maximizes efficiency, minimizes waste, and ensures consistent product quality.

Production Line Components

1. Seed Cleaning System

  • Vibrating screen cleaner
  • Magnetic separator
  • Gravity separator
  • Capacity should match or exceed raw material input rate

2. Dehulling System

  • Disc dehuller
  • Hammer mill dehuller
  • Applications: Peanuts, sunflower, coconut, sesame

3. Moisture Conditioning System

  • Steam conditioner
  • Hot air dryer
  • Moisture targets: Hot pressing 5-8%, Cold pressing 7-9%

4. Roasting System (Hot Pressing Only)

  • Drum roaster
  • Flat bed roaster
  • Temperature: 160-180ๆŽณC, Time: 25-35 minutes

5. Seed Crushing System

  • Roller crusher
  • Hammer mill
  • Particle size: 2-4 mm for optimal extraction

6. Hydraulic Oil Press

  • Haonuo hydraulic oil press (HN325, HN355, HN426, HN480, HN500)
  • Capacity: 100 kg per batch
  • Cycle time: Hot pressing 30-40 minutes, Cold pressing ~2 hours

7. Oil Filtration System

  • Plate filter press
  • Bag filter
  • Centrifugal filter
  • Filtration levels: Primary 100-200 mesh, Fine 200-300 mesh

8. Oil Storage System

  • Stainless steel tanks
  • Mild steel tanks (with coating)
  • Cold-pressed oil: Store at < 25ๆŽณC, protected from light

9. Cake Handling System

  • Cake conveyor
  • Cake crusher
  • Cake uses: Animal feed, fertilizer, secondary processing

Capacity Planning

Capacity Requirements by Scale

ScaleDaily CapacityRecommended Model
Small500-1,000 kgHN325
Medium1,000-2,500 kgHN355/HN426
Large2,500-4,000 kgHN480/HN500

Line Balance Considerations

  1. Roasting Capacity: Should be >= 2 x pressing rate
  2. Crushing Capacity: Should match pressing rate
  3. Filtration Capacity: Should match pressing output
  4. Storage Capacity: Should accommodate 3-5 days of production

Layout Design

Design Principles

  1. Workflow Efficiency: Minimize material handling
  2. Safety: Ensure safe operation and maintenance access
  3. Flexibility: Allow for future expansion
  4. Ergonomics: Design for operator comfort
