OilProcessingHub — Sunflower equipment scope and test-data RFQ draft Reviewed: 2026-11-03 STATUS: BUYER-EDITABLE REQUEST — NOT A QUOTE, TEST RESULT OR ACCEPTANCE Buyer-editable equipment-scope and test-data requests. Representative catalogue examples are starting points for an enquiry, not a supplier ranking, final size selection, quotation, order or accepted performance. Published facts are limited to the linked official catalogue/service descriptions. All scope lines, tests, commercial terms and acceptance requests below are editorial questions for written agreement; current supply, crop fit, trial access and results remain unconfirmed. No enquiry is sent. BUYER PROJECT INPUT — COMPLETE BEFORE SENDING Project / site / country and intended commissioning date: ____________________ Actual oilseed variety/lot, raw or prepared feed, moisture and analytical oil basis: ____________________ Required daily input, operating hours, turndown and feed variability: ____________________ Oil and cake/meal destinations, specifications and required analyses: ____________________ Available space, utilities, electrical supply and local requirements: ____________________ Requested process boundary, optional stages, buyer-supplied equipment and interfaces: ____________________ Representative sample quantity/shipping terms to agree with test provider: ____________________ Buyer technical/commercial contact and response deadline: ____________________ REPRESENTATIVE ENQUIRY EXAMPLE French Achiever 55 — full-press enquiry example French lists Achiever 55 among its press sizes and describes full-press and prepress duties. Its oilseed overview includes sunflower and customer-material trials; exact sunflower configuration and production performance still require confirmation. Use Achiever 55 as a model to ask about, not a size selected from a known plant capacity. Ask French to confirm or replace it after reviewing your feed and duty. L-250 is a separate trial-scale press; its output is not an Achiever 55 guarantee. Proposed equipment / alternative offered by supplier: ____________________ PROCESS BOUNDARY TO CONFIRM Initial enquiry: prepared sunflower seed to crude pressed oil and cake. Dehulling, oil clarification and wax treatment must each have a separate inclusion decision. Solvent extraction, refining and packaging are separately quoted alternatives. EQUIPMENT SCOPE — REQUEST AN ITEMIZED RESPONSE E01 — Seed reception and preparation Identify who supplies cleaning, weighing, dehulling/hull separation and any cracking or conditioning. Mark each item included, optional or buyer-supplied, with its inlet/outlet feed basis. Offered model / count / revision / included or option or excluded / interface owner / price reference: ____________________ E02 — Conditioning and transfer Offer a matched conditioner and controlled transfer if required; state heat source, temperature measurement locations, residence-time basis and associated utility boundary. Offered model / count / revision / included or option or excluded / interface owner / price reference: ____________________ E03 — Achiever 55 press and drive Confirm full-press duty, revision, screw/cage arrangement, feeder, drive/control, discharge/backpressure arrangement, cooling circuit and oil/cake outlets. State all selected options. Offered model / count / revision / included or option or excluded / interface owner / price reference: ____________________ E04 — Oil clarification interface Itemize collection, screening/settling, pump, filtration and storage if offered; specify solids return, filter consumables and losses separately from the press. Offered model / count / revision / included or option or excluded / interface owner / price reference: ____________________ E05 — Cake, hulls and downstream options Identify cake/hull conveying, cooling and weighing boundaries. Quote wax-treatment trials on actual crude oil separately; do not infer cold stability from press performance. Offered model / count / revision / included or option or excluded / interface owner / price reference: ____________________ E06 — Installation and support Provide layout, loads, access/maintenance clearances, utility schedule, controls/interfaces, wear parts, commissioning, operator training and trial-to-production mapping. Offered model / count / revision / included or option or excluded / interface owner / price reference: ____________________ TEST DATA — REQUEST EDITABLE RAW RECORDS AND TRACEABLE REPORTS R01 — Offered equipment and trial-machine mapping Requested fields: Revision-controlled equipment schedule; model/count/serial or trial ID; screw/cage/die, drive/control and option list; differences between trial and production build. Reporting basis: Supply drawings/BOM and a written scale-up/uncertainty note; identify every untested assumption. Acceptance deliverables: D01 / D03 Supplier response / document ID / revision / raw-data link / gap / due date: ____________________ R02 — Feed, sampling and laboratory baseline Requested fields: Lot/cultivar/storage, preparation, moisture/volatile matter and analytical extractable oil; sample register, retained splits, method edition and lab identity. Reporting basis: State raw/prepared feed, units and wet/dry basis. Analytical extractable oil is not production oil recovery. Acceptance deliverables: D02 / D05 Supplier response / document ID / revision / raw-data link / gap / due date: ____________________ R03 — Measured-run raw data Requested fields: Timestamped feed, run/stabilization periods, downtime, temperatures, load and utilities, calibration references and planned repeats. Reporting basis: Request editable CSV/XLSX plus run/configuration IDs; separate startup and steady operation, and define kg/h and kWh/t denominators. Acceptance deliverables: D03 / D05 Supplier response / document ID / revision / raw-data link / gap / due date: ____________________ R04 — Matched products and balance workbook Requested fields: Feed, oil, cake and any hull/fines/reject/water streams; inventory changes and recycle; matched oil/cake samples and residual-oil results. Reporting basis: Request editable mass/oil calculations and laboratory reports with method/basis/uncertainty; distinguish filtered oil, crude oil and analytical oil. Acceptance deliverables: D02 / D05 Supplier response / document ID / revision / raw-data link / gap / due date: ____________________ R05 — Performance offer and factory/site decision matrix Requested fields: For each proposed guarantee: value/unit, feed envelope, run duration, method, basis, decision rule, witness/authority, deviations/retest and FAT versus site-only SAT allocation. Reporting basis: Ask supplier to separate indicative estimates from contractual offers; limits, actual results and signatures stay blank until agreement/testing. Acceptance deliverables: D01 / D04 / D06 / D07 / D08 Supplier response / document ID / revision / raw-data link / gap / due date: ____________________ R06 — Hull and preparation comparison Requested fields: Lot-linked whole-seed, kernel, hull, fines and reject masses; preparation settings; moisture and oil analyses for the actual streams. Reporting basis: State whole-seed versus prepared-kernel denominators; do not compare unlike bases. Acceptance deliverables: D02 / D05 Supplier response / document ID / revision / raw-data link / gap / due date: ____________________ R07 — Thermal and press configuration evidence Requested fields: Oil/cake temperature traces, cooling conditions, feed/press speed, feeder and discharge settings, configuration revision and matched output samples. Reporting basis: Request the measured envelope and applicability limits; a cold-press label alone supplies no temperature acceptance limit. Acceptance deliverables: D03 / D05 Supplier response / document ID / revision / raw-data link / gap / due date: ____________________ R08 — Wax-treatment option and scale-up gap Requested fields: If requested: crude/treated oil sample IDs, agreed cooling/holding/observation method, filtration cycle and oil/solids losses; otherwise mark not in scope. Reporting basis: Separate press result, wax-treatment trial and production design assumptions.
