Palm Oil Processing Machine

A palm oil processing machine is either a single machine used in the oil processing sequence or a set of palm oil machines designed for automated or semi-automated palm oil processing. The purpose of palm oil-making machines is to digest, press, clarify, purify, and refine the oil. The palm oil refinery machines also separate the solid palm kernel cake from the palm kernel oil.

Which Machines are Used for Palm Oil Processing?

Palm fruit processing machines include sterilizers, threshers, digesting tanks, screw oil pressers, vibrating screens, oil clarification tanks, plate filters, and vacuum dryers. Sterilizers make use of steam or boiling water to destroy microbes and harmful germs on the palm fruit. The process usually takes about 90 minutes. The palm fruit thresher is another essential palm oil production machine. It separates the individual palm fruits from the bunch. Their processing capacity per hour ranges from 500kg/h to 15 tonnes per hour. A mill with multiple palm oil extraction machines can deliver up to 120 tonnes per hour. The palm oil digester machine is used to crush palm pulp and crack the inner pulp to make oil pressing and extraction easier. The palm oil screw press machine extracts oil from the palm fruit. After pressing the palm fruits, it discharges the palm oil and kernels. The oil clarification station filters the crude palm oil and uses a vacuum dryer to remove excess water from the oil.

How do You Choose a Palm Oil Processing Machine?

The palm kernel oil processing machine you buy should be determined by the kind of raw material and the finished product you want to produce. For instance, if the raw material is palm fruit bunches and you want to obtain crude palm oil, you should buy a palm oil thresher and an oil press or extraction machine. Next, determine the scale of production in terms of tonnes per hour or per day. Small-scale palm oil processing machines can extract oil from 500kg/h. Large-scale machines can process 10 tonnes or more per hour.
