A State-Of-The-Art In Palm Oil Mill Design

“Designing a palm oil mill is an art,” said the 70 years old Malaysian Palm Oil Mill Consultant, Mr Ng Keng Phoy, or commonly known as Pak KP Ng in Indonesia. He is an Artist and a Photographer.

“The instinct in observation for the last 40 years in milling operation as a Mill Engineer, the realization of some innovation into engineering drawings as a Designer and the in-depth studies as a Consultant beginning at the age of 60 years old at his career, is just passing a time evolution bringing the palm oil industry to a more cost effective consideration and less complicated operation in the coming centuries,” said the forever learning old age gentleman.

1.0 Unique figures on Presses at Zero-Floor Level

“It is a State-of-the-Art by breaking the monopoly in design within the last 50 years palm oil mill history, by simply placing all the Presses from the conventional 6-meter height level to a mere Zero-Floor Level,” mentioned by Pak Ng with his unique innovation and state-of-the art invention for many new mills he had completed for the last 10 years in Palm Oil Mill Consultancy in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.

Presses on Zero-Floor Level in various mills

2.0 Presses simply on Low Floor Level

Presses on a 1.5-meter Platform is not an uncommon thing in Mr Ng’s Palm Oil Mill design, not only its cost effective in investment, but also it provides simple operation with an ease of maintenance and safety .

3.0 CBC on Zero-Floor Level

2 units of Palm Oil Mills of 45/60 tons FFB per hour capacity each, had been in operation with Cake Breaker Conveyor on the Floor Level for the last 5 years in Sumatra, Indonesia for PT. Tunas Baru Lampung, tbk.

Mr Ng does not make the common cut & paste drafting practice but has successfully made the certain palm oil mill mission impossible into realities. Each Mill is a unique design by itself.

Improvement on Palm Oil Mill design from Pak KP Ng always goes abreast with microchips, and he is setting up his design studio in Shanghai with a team of 3D and VR capabilities.

4.0 Low Level FFB Ramp

Elimination of heavy steel structures on elevated 4.5-meter height FFB Ramps had been constructed by a mere 2.5-Meter height Ramp with Steel Hoppers sitting onto Concrete Base.

5.0 Static Walking Sterilizer (SWS)

SWS (Static Walking Sterilizer) Vital Application for new or old in Palm Oil Mills Oil Loss in Sterilizer Condensate: <1.0% (sample) Oil Loss in Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB): <2.0% (sample)

6.0 Declaration on the Call Off of Vertical Sterilizer

A new 45/60 tons FFB per hour capacity Palm Oil Mill is under construction in 2016 in Lampung, Sumatra, Indonesia with FFB Ramp at Zero-Floor Level.

Mr KP Ng had declared all 3 of his patents of Vertical Sterilizers obsolete and does not require application to the palm oil industries. His Vertical Sterilizers with SFB (Sterilized Fruit Bunch) discharged by gravitational force, either by Bottom Discharge Door or Side Spigot Discharge Door are no more in use due to many operational difficulties and especially huge Oil Loss in Sterilizer Condensate is >2.0% (sample) and EFB is >3.0% (sample)
