Rapeseed and mustard oil line planning

Select the pressing route before sizing the equipment

Both routes begin by crushing the seed. Hot pressing adds conditioning and cake preparation before the 325 hydraulic press, while cold pressing sends crushed material to a higher-tonnage hydraulic press before filtration and cake handling.

Material and core machines

The line is built around preparation, conditioning, and hydraulic pressing

Rapeseed and mustard appear among the materials shown for hot pressing. The machine sequence changes after crushing according to whether the project uses the hot or cold route.

Process routes

Hot pressing and cold pressing use different preparation steps

The practical distinction is what happens after crushing: the hot route conditions and wraps the material before pressing, while the cold route loads crushed material directly into the selected press.

Conditioned material

Hot-press route

Use the 325 model after crushing, steam conditioning, and cake preparation. If incoming rapeseed is relatively moist, the current process page recommends roasting before crushing.

Crush rapeseed or mustard with the pre-press machine
Condition the crushed material in the 27 kW electric steamer
Form wrapped cakes and separate them with the press partitions
Press with the 325 hydraulic oil press
Filter the collected oil and handle the pressed cake

Direct crushed feed

Cold-press route

Crush the seed, omit the steaming stage, and load the powder directly into a cold-press machine. The current field notes direct rapeseed cold-press projects to the 355-500 model series.

Published hot-line example

Use the current line balance as a reference, not a universal equipment count

The live page describes a 500 kg/hour hot-press example with one pre-press machine, five 27 kW electric steamers, and five 325 hydraulic presses operating in parallel.

Stage	Equipment	Current-page reference	Role in the line
Crushing	Pre-press machine	One unit at 500 kg/hour	Reduce the seed to the crushed feed used by both process routes.
Steam conditioning	27 kW Electric Steamer	Five units; 100 kg per batch per unit	Condition crushed rapeseed or mustard for the hot-press route.
Cake preparation	Cake Wrapping Machine	Prepared cakes are separated by the press partitions	Form consistent wrapped cakes before hot pressing.
Hydraulic pressing	325 model hydraulic oil press	Five presses in parallel	Match the hot-line loading rhythm established by the preparation section.
Oil clarification	Pneumatic multi-layer oil filter	Used after pressing	Clarify the collected crude oil before storage or downstream processing.

Confirm the balance against the real project

The published count is tied to its stated feed rate and batch assumptions. Final quantities should be checked against seed condition, hot or cold route, operating schedule, available power, filtration scope, and workshop flow.

Equipment modules

Open the machine pages used to configure the route

Choose only the modules required by the selected process. The steamer and cake-wrapping stage belong to the hot route; filtration follows either route.

Buyer configuration checklist

Information needed before a line can be sized

Rapeseed, mustard, or a mixed raw-material plan
Raw seed condition, moisture, cleanliness, and whether it is already crushed
Hot pressing or cold pressing preference
Incoming material per hour and planned operating hours
Required oil stage: crude collection, filtration, storage, or filling
Pressed-cake plan: direct use, pulverizing, or secondary pressing
Workshop dimensions and intended material-flow direction
Local voltage, available power, destination country, and installation constraints

Route decisions change the bill of equipment

Hot pressing requires the conditioning and cake-preparation section. Cold pressing removes the steaming step but requires the press choice to be made around rapeseed’s dense, hard cake.

For moist rapeseed, include the proposed roasting step in the inquiry so the preparation section can be reviewed before the crusher.
