Palm Oil Equipment
Brief Introduction to the Palm Fruit Oil Production Process
Raw Materials Storage Section: Fresh palm fruit bunches are first measured and recorded upon arrival at the plant. They are then unloaded onto fruit slopes for storage.
Sterilizing Section: Fresh palm fruit bunches are sterilized in an airtight sterilizer. This prevents enzyme breakdown, avoiding an increase in FFA content in the oil. It also facilitates easier threshing, prepares the fruit for subsequent processes, pre-conditions the kernels, and reduces kernel damage.
Threshing Section: Threshing separates the oil palm fruit from the fruit bunch through strong vibration. The revolving drum thresher accomplishes this, ejecting the separated fruit into the press section while empty bunches are either stored, used as palm orchard mulch, or burnt as fertilizer.
Pressing Section: The oil palm fruit undergoes cooking before pressing. Re-heated sterilized fruit softens the pulp and damages cell structure. The fruit then enters a continuous screw press, separating into an oil-water-solid mixture and press cake. The mixture flows to the oil purification section while the press cake is transported to the fiber recovery section.
Clarification Section: Machine-pressed crude oil is diluted with water, allowing fiber material to be removed through settlement and filtration. The mixture is then separated into oil and sediment. Oil undergoes centrifugal separation and vacuum drying before storage. Sediment is further clarified, with dirt oil separated, settled, and treated.
Finished Oil Storage and Transportation Section: Finished crude oil is stored in large tanks with a capacity of up to 1000 tons each. The oil is regularly issued and transported at a temperature between 32-40 degrees Celsius, with an ideal working temperature of 50 degrees to prevent overheating.
Fiber Separation Section: Press cake is broken and transported to the fiber separation air net and polishing roller. Separated fiber is sent to the boiler room as fuel, while separated stones are stored temporarily in a warehouse.
Kernel Recovery Section: Stones are tempered before being broken by a corrugated crusher into smaller pieces, freeing the kernels. The mixture then undergoes two-stage and water separation. Separated shells are stored or used as boiler fuel, while dried kernels, with moisture content below 7%, are stored in a warehouse.
Sewage Treatment Section: Wastewater, with a high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of about 25000ppm, requires qualified treatment before discharge. Pool sewage treatment systems are cost-effective, requiring adequate space and less investment.
