Palm oil processing process is quite different from other oil seeds processing.The complete set palm oil processing machine includes palm oil extraction process(how palm oil is extracted), palm kernel oil extraction process(how palm kernel oil is extracted) and palm oil/palm kernel oil refining process.

As we all know, oil palm is an important tropic oil seed plant. The palm oil content is very high: common fresh fruit :46～50％ , palm kernel :50～55％. As professional manufacturer of palm oil processing machine , we can supply complete set palm oil mill plant, complete set palm kernel oil mill plant and complete set palm oil/ palm kernel oil refinery and fractionation plant.

Palm oil mill plant

How many ton CPO & CPKO you get from FFB?

The trees start being productive at around 3 years and then they keep producing for around 25 years.

136 trees/ha=20-23tonsFFB/ha/year

CPO=4-5T/Hectare/year

CPKO = 1T/Hectare/year

15-20bunches/tree/year

FFB = 1000-3000 individual palm fruit

FFB = 10-25kg

FFB = 20%CPO；2%CPKO

Weight of each palm fruit= 8-13g

Next , we will introduce the palm oil extarction process:

The palm oil extraction process involves a series of processes starting with harvesting fresh fruit bunches from the plantations and ending with crude palm oil storage. Through sterilizing, threshing, digesting and expelling, crude palm oil will be pressed out in palm oil pressing machine (screw oil press). Each station of palm oil extraction machine uses different methods and machines. After purifying and refining, the refined palm oil can be exported as a popular kind of healthy and edible oil.

Palm fruit reception station;

Palm fruit sterilizing station;

Palm fruit threshing station;

Palm fruit digesting & pressing station;

Crude palm oil clarification station;

Palm nut and fiber separating station;

Palm kernel recovery station;

Main station of palm oil processing machine

The next , we will introduce the palm kernel oil extraction process;

Palm kernel oil production machine is a kind of mechanical oil extraction process.Palm kernel oil production machine is suitable for both small and large palm kernel oil mill plant. The complete set of palm kernel oil production machine includes palm kernel oil pretreatment and press machine ,palm kernel cake solvent extraction plant and palm kernel oil refinery machine.

(1)palm kernel oil pretreatment and pre-pressing section:

The palm kernel oil pretreatment and press section greatly affect the oil extraction efficiency and production cost. Before feeding into palm kernel oil expeller (oil press), the palm kernels must be cleaned,crushed, softened,flaked, cooked , pressed and so on.

(2) Palm kernel solvent extraction section:

Palm kernel solvent extraction plant is used to extract palm kernel oil from palm kernel cake which is the second process of palm kernel oil production.After the palm kernel oil solvent extraction process, there is only less 1% oil content in meal.

Main process of palm kernel solvent extarction plant:

Solvent extraction system;

D.T.D.C system;

Condenser system;

Recovery system；

The finally, we will introduce the palm oil/ palm kernel oil refinery and fractionation process:

(1)Palm oil/palm kernel oil refinery process introduce:

Our palm oil/palm kernel oil refinery plant can process various kinds of crude oil. Palm oil/palm kernel oil refinery plant is another important machine of palm oil making machine and palm kernel oil making machine . Palm oil/palm kernel oil refining is a step by step process.Our palm oil/palm kernel oil refinery plant including a series of refining processes which are aim to remove phospholipids, FFA, pigment, gums, waxes, off-flavor and other impurities from crude edible oil.

Main process of palm oil/palm kernel oil refinery plant are as follows:

Degumming Process

Neutralizing Process(Deacidification process)

Bleaching Process

Deodorizing Process

Palm oil refining process flow chart (Palm kernel oil refining process is the same with palm oil refining process)

(2)Palm oil/palm kernel oil fractionation process introduce:

For crude palm oil refinery plant, fractionation process is required in which palm olein and palm stearin are separated by scientifically cooling the refined palm oil by chilling plant and then filtering the oil.

Main process of palm oil/palm kernel oil fractionation plant are as follows:

calefaction, cooling crystallization and filtration.
