Crude-oil quality is set right after the press, not at the refinery

Core indicators

The four indicators that describe rapeseed crude oil

Before deciding sale, storage, or refining, name the crude-oil condition in measurable terms instead of a vague 'good oil' claim.

Degumming timing

Decide degumming timing by where the oil is going

• Flavor oil sold local and fresh may only need settling and filtration, keeping aroma instead of full degumming.
• Oil heading to refining benefits from earlier degumming so phospholipids do not foul tanks, pumps, and the refining section.
• If crude oil will be stored for weeks, settle and filter first; standing gums and moisture raise acid value and sediment over time.

Filtration, storage, handoff

Connect filtration, tanks, and the refining handoff

What to confirm before scoping Rapeseed Crude-Oil Quality Control Points

Rapeseed Crude-Oil Quality Control Points 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 Rapeseed / Canola 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

Pin models to published factory specs before tonnage talk.

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).

• Standard barrel Ø390×800 mm, max ~100 kg crushed feed; optional Ø300 high-pressure barrel max ~60 kg.
• Cylinder material 27SiMn; cold frames are integrated molded steel; hot frames are typically H-type channel steel.
• Listed on the factory hot-press page — discuss 300/325 first.

Equipment check

Downstream needs to land in equipment interfaces

Once the route 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.
