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: 160-180ๆณC, 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 < 25ๆณC, protected from light
9. Cake Handling System
- Cake conveyor
- Cake crusher
- Cake uses: Animal feed, fertilizer, secondary processing
Capacity Planning
Capacity Requirements by Scale
| Scale | Daily Capacity | Recommended Model |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 500-1,000 kg | HN325 |
| Medium | 1,000-2,500 kg | HN355/HN426 |
| Large | 2,500-4,000 kg | HN480/HN500 |
Line Balance Considerations
- Roasting Capacity: Should be >= 2 x pressing rate
- Crushing Capacity: Should match pressing rate
- Filtration Capacity: Should match pressing output
- Storage Capacity: Should accommodate 3-5 days of production
Layout Design
Design Principles
- Workflow Efficiency: Minimize material handling
- Safety: Ensure safe operation and maintenance access
- Flexibility: Allow for future expansion
- Ergonomics: Design for operator comfort
Space Requirements
| Scale | Required Area | Height |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 50-80 m2 | 3 m |
| Medium | 100-150 m2 | 3-4 m |
| Large | 200-300 m2 | 4-5 m |
Utility Requirements
Power Supply
- HN325: 5kVA minimum
- HN355/HN426: 5.5kVA minimum
- HN500: 7kVA minimum
- Additional for supporting equipment: 10-20kVA
Water Supply
- Cleaning: 500-1,000 L/day
- Cooling: 2-5 m3/day
- Total: 3-6 m3/day
