What is the process of oil palm pressing? What machine are required? The process of oil palm pressing including collecting, sterilizing,
threshing, digesting, pressing, clarification and drying.
Depending on the daily processing capacity of the plant, you
will be provided with either a simple or a standard palm oil
production line, and the palm oil processing machine required
for the different scale production line will vary. If you are also
planning to set up a palm oil processing plant, it is essential to
know the basic information of the oil palm pressing. Next,
Henan Glory Company will introduce you to the palm oil
production line in detail through this article.
The process of oil palm pressing as the following shows:
Palm oil processing process
Collecting: The ripe fresh palm fruit bunches are collected and
transported to raw material reception.
Sterilizing: Sterilizing is a process that injecting direct steam
into the sterilizer to boil the palm fruit. It can break the
enzymes in fruit and avoid the increasing of the FFA content of
oil. On the other hand, the high temperature makes the fruit
soften, it is easy for threshing.
Threshing: After sterilizing, the prepared palm fruit bunches
will be sent to the drum type thresher, in which each piece of
fruit is separated from the rest of the bunches.
Digesting: In digesting process, the palm pulp and nut will be
separated, and the palm fruit will be crushed, even be
destroyed its tissue.
Pressing: It can extract the palm oil from the palm pulp by
pressing. After pressing, we can obtain crude palm oil
containing impurities and water, and a mixture of fiber and
palm nuts.

Clarifying & Drying: A mixture of oil, water, and solids from the
bunch fibers is delivered to clarification station. It usually use
vibrating screen, clarification tank and plate filter to remove the
impurities from the crude palm oil, and use oil drying system to
dry the crude palm oil.
Depending on the daily processing capacity of the plant, you
will be provided with either a simple or a standard palm oil
production line, and the palm oil processing machine required
for the different scale production line will vary.
If your daily capacity is 500kg/hour, Henan Glory Company
engineer recommend a simple palm oil production line with
simple equipment, such as drum type thresher, single screw
palm oil presser and a frame filter. If you are on a budget, you
can replace the drum type thresher with a simple thresher, or
you can simply thresh the fruit manually to reduce your
investment costs.
Simple type palm oil processing machine
If your daily capacity is between 1-5 tons/hour, 10-120
tons/hour or even larger, our engineer recommend the
standard palm oil production line for you, which is equipped
with the following processing machine: sterilizer, drum type
thresher, digester, palm oil presser, clarification equipment
(rotary vibrating screen, clarification tank , plate filter) and
vacuum drying system.

In addition to the above two kinds of palm oil production line,
Henan Glory Company can also customize a larger processing
capacity palm oil processing machine to help your palm oil
production project run smoothly! Tell us your requirement, we
