Sesame aroma starts before the press, at cleaning and roasting

Sesame preparation is its own subject: small seed size, sand risk, roast color, rapid cooling, and whether the batch is white sesame, black sesame, roasted aroma oil, or low-temperature oil.

Preparation checks

Check the sesame before building the roasting room

  • Show raw seed in hand, after screening, and after destoning so dust and sand risk are visible.
  • If the target is roasted aroma oil, record roast temperature, holding time, discharge color, cooling method, and sample smell.
  • If the target is low-temperature oil, avoid borrowing roast-room language and focus on clean seed, gentle handling, and oil clarity.
  • Black sesame should keep its own intake, roast note, tank label, and cake tray when it is sold as a separate SKU.

Roast room scope

A roasting room is a flavor control area, not a heater

Before roasting

Clean seed, remove sand, check moisture, and keep white and black lots separated before they enter the roaster.

During roasting

Record temperature ramp, holding time, seed color, exhaust smell, and operator adjustment instead of relying on a single fixed setting.

After roasting

Cool quickly, avoid dusty transfer, and press while the aroma is clean rather than letting hot seed wait in open containers.

Quote boundary

Preparation details decide whether the quote includes cleaning, roasting, or only pressing

  • If the buyer already has a proven roaster, send a short running video, seed discharge color, and existing cooling method before asking for a press match.
  • If the buyer is building a new aroma oil room, include cleaning screen, destoner, roaster, cooler, press, settling tank, and bottle route in one scope.
  • If the buyer wants both low-temperature oil and roasted oil, list changeover cleaning, separate tanks, and separate label language from the first quote.

What to confirm before scoping Sesame Cleaning, Destoning, and Roasting Preparation

Sesame Cleaning, Destoning, and Roasting Preparation 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 Sesame Oil Press modules stay. Factory sesame hot: ~30 kg/batch with 6 partitions on 325; cold uses 355–500. Do not use peanut 100 kg barrel loads.

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.
  • Factory sesame hot: ~30 kg/batch with 6 partitions on 325; cold uses 355–500. Do not use peanut 100 kg barrel loads.

Equipment check

project scope 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.

Front-end input

Record feed form, daily volume, moisture, and sorting needs so pretreatment is not left to operators.

Filtration and bottle rhythm

Factory hot sesame lines often use pneumatic multi-layer paper filters; cold adds polish filtration and N₂. Match bottling to the ~25–40 min cycle at ~30 kg/batch.

Delivery data

Prepare space, power (often 380V/50Hz/3ph), labor, target package, local rules, and acceptance method before quotation.

Questions on this page

Drum or wok roaster for sesame?

Drum roaster (50-200 kg/batch, 180-200°C × 15-25 min, gas/electric, continuous): consistent temperature curve, log per batch, fits 500-2000 kg/day operations, lower aroma intensity but more reproducible. Wok roaster (50-100 kg/batch, motorized paddle, traditional 小磨香油): stronger aroma development, slightly higher sesamol, but throughput-limited and operator-dependent.

Can white and black sesame share one line?

Yes, but with strict changeover: 30-60 min line flush, barrel cleaning, tank rinsing between varieties. Otherwise pigment from black sesame contaminates the next white-sesame batch and weakens SKU identity. Better practice: dedicate one production day per variety, plus a pre-flush batch on changeover days.
