The same press can sit in a whole-seed crude-oil mill, a kernel cold-press line, a dewaxed clear-oil program, or a refined retail plant; those are different quotes.
Send seed form, dehulling target, cold or hot route, wax strategy, final container, byproduct outlet, utilities, tanks, and phase boundary before pricing.
Whole seed, partial dehull, clean kernel, residual hull target, and hull outlet.
Settling only, dewaxing, polishing filtration, refining handoff, or retail cold-test target.
Bulk tank, flexi-bag, tin, PET, glass, pouch, or private-label retail pack.
Scope handoffPricing should follow the real handoff point, not a vague request for a sunflower oil machine.
Simpler front end, darker oil, more wax and hull influence, usually bulk or refinery handoff.
Needs better dehulling, lower-temperature discipline, lighter oil positioning, and honest output expectations.
Adds chilling, hold time, filter capacity, cold-test agreement, and clean post-filter tanks.
Adds degumming, neutralization, bleaching, deodorization, filling, label, and carton boundary.
Sunflower Project Data Before Pricing 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 Sunflower 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.
When discussing Sunflower Project Data Before Pricing, pin models to published factory specs — not tonnage alone.
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).
After Sunflower Project Data Before Pricing 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.
Record feed form, daily volume, moisture, and sorting needs so pretreatment is not left to operators.
Retail sunflower oil needs winterization at 5–8°C × 24–48 h (wax 600–1200 ppm). Keep high-oleic and regular linoleic segregated.
Prepare space, power (often 380V/50Hz/3ph), labor, target package, local rules, and acceptance method before quotation.
Commercial fit
A sunflower buyer checklist on real terms: high-oleic vs regular linoleic, residual-hull target (≤8% for kernel oil), dewaxing for 600-1200 ppm wax, final container, cake (28-32% protein) and hull outlet, plus the photos and data that make the first offer accurate.

Compare hydraulic batch press vs continuous screw (expeller) for sunflower: oil quality, cold-press ability, capacity, residual oil, labor, and when each route wins. Use this before you request a quote.

Size sunflower hydraulic capacity with real cycles: hot pure press 30-40 min/barrel (~1.5 h for 2 barrels with loading); cold ~2 h pure / ~4.5 h for 2 barrels. Example math for 1–5 t/day small mills.
