Oil mill shed design 15 × 30 m starting form
Plan oilseed intake, pressing, vessel space and filling within one enclosed shed. The generic process arrangement is a starting point for coordinating machinery envelopes and the movement of raw and packed material.

The range compares 5, 6, 7 bays at the same width, length, eave, roof, openings and selected sections. It describes those modelled arrangements; it is not an engineered minimum–maximum allowance.

End-wall framing is enabled, matching a fresh editor preset; modelled end posts are included where walls are clad. This is net frame, secondary-member and plate mass. Procurement waste, cladding, civil works, furnishings and equipment loads remain separate. No price, safe capacity or design approval is inferred.
A furnished starting layout.
The current fit-out generator places 17 physical objects in this starting model. These counts come from that generated layout.

The 2.4 m central stripe is a planning reserve, not an approved exit route or vehicle swept-path result. Equipment is generic; confirm capacity, service clearances and actual loads separately.
Questions, answered.
A closer look at the oil mill shed concept, its editable inputs and the decisions that belong in a project-specific design.
What are the starting dimensions of the oil mill shed?
The preset starts at 15 m wide by 30 m long, with a 6 m eave and 6 bays along its length. You can edit these dimensions. They describe a concept starting form, not an operating capacity or approved structural design.
What kind of oil mill does the model represent?
It is a generic spatial concept with intake, a press envelope, vessels and a filling area. It does not select an extraction technology, product, throughput or equipment supplier.
Are process-vessel supports included in the frame design?
The visible vessels do not add structural loads automatically. Provide operating and empty weights, support reactions, anchor arrangements and maintenance actions for separate design.
Does the shed design cover fire and spill control?
No process hazard, spill containment or fire-system design is generated. Define the actual materials and operation so the relevant specialists can determine the required provisions.
Can I expand oilseed or finished-product storage?
You can move or add generic pallet and rack objects in the editor. Review commodity segregation, loading access, storage actions and services before treating an expanded arrangement as an operating layout.
