The refining handoff starts at crude-oil discharge

Inputs

Define refining feed before promising a complete line

• State whether oil is hot-pressed flavor oil, crude canola oil, or filtered oil.
• Confirm whether degumming, deacidification, bleaching, deodorization, or only filtration is expected.
• Reserve tank volume for seasonal rapeseed runs.

Handoff proof

Refining handoff needs crude-oil samples, tanks, and residue language

• Collect oil at press discharge, after settling, after coarse filtration, and before refinery feed if the site already has those stages.
• Name acid value, sediment, moisture, phospholipid expectation, tank temperature, sludge outlet, pump route, and whether refining is on site.
• This page should not promise edible bottled oil until the refining endpoint, testing responsibility, and storage hygiene are known.

Next decision

Choose crude sale, outside refining, on-site refining, or retail oil

• Each endpoint changes tank count, filter depth, pump hygiene, documents, sampling, and whether filling belongs in this phase.

Field check

Name the tank that becomes the refinery feed tank

• If the same tank receives hot crude, settles sediment, feeds filtration, and sends oil to refining, sampling becomes unclear. Separate tank names and pump routes make the refining handoff auditable.

Final check

Do not mix crude-oil sale, refinery feed, and edible-oil promise

• The final quote should state the exact handoff point: crude loading pump, filtered crude tank, refinery-feed tank, refined-oil tank, or filling-ready storage.

Closeout

Keep one retained sample from each handoff tank

• This makes crude quality, settling result, refinery-feed responsibility, retained-sample comparison, pump route changes, sludge discharge, tank cleaning, and later customer complaints easier to trace after installation.

Project boundary

What to confirm before scoping Rapeseed Crude Oil to Refining Handoff

Rapeseed Crude Oil to Refining Handoff 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.
