Soybean crude oil needs a degumming decision before it needs a bottle plan

Oil-side layout

Define the degumming path before buying tanks

• Name whether the oil leaves as crude soybean oil, degummed oil, refinery feed, or bottled-oil precursor.
• Reserve sampling points before and after settling so gum behavior is not guessed from final color alone.
• Plan pump, hose, tank bottom, and sludge discharge around gum-rich material as well as clean oil.
• If lecithin recovery is discussed, keep that stream separate from ordinary tank sludge language.

Quote data

Degumming details that change the soybean quote

Site sketch

Sketch the oil-room path before treating gums as a filter issue

• Mark crude trays, settling tanks, pump route, sample position, sludge discharge, and refining feed point on one oil-room sketch.
• This prevents the quote from treating soybean gums as a simple filter-cloth problem.

What to confirm before scoping Soybean Lecithin and Degumming Handoff

Soybean Lecithin and Degumming 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 Soybean 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.
