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.
Double screw palm oil press machine 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.
Small scale palm oil processing machine
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 will give you the free quotation.
