Palm kernel oil processing line

What is palm kernel oil machine?

Palm kernel oil production line is palm kernel oil pressing production line plus palm kernel oil refining production line.

The palm kernel is the inner nut / seed obtained from the palm fruit. The palm kernel oil is mainly derived and recovered from the innermost kernel of the oil palm fruit by pressing technology. The palm kernel seeds are hard, tough and very intact. They contain around 35% to 45% of oil in them which is quite considerable.

The basic steps in palm kernel oil extraction steaming, shelling, crushing, pressing, frying, blending, palm kernel oil extraction, filtration.


Working process of palm kernel oil extraction line


1. Palm kernel fiber and core separation:
First, in the fiber and core separation section, the fibers and core are separated through special equipment to reduce wear and improve the processing efficiency of subsequent processes. Next, the palm kernels are divided into large kernels and small kernels through the kernel classification section for more adequate processing in the kernel shell separation section.
2. Palm kernel crushing equipment:
Palm kernels generally need to be crushed twice, one crushing: because the palm kernel is relatively large and hard, in order to better improve the oil yield, it needs to be crushed first. Secondary crushing: mainly to break the palm kernel into small pieces for easy oil extraction.
3. Palm kernel shell separation equipment:
The palm kernel nut are separated according to the size, convenient for subsequent cracking,enter the cracker to separate the shell of the palm kernel from the kernel nut.
4. Palm kernel drying equipment:
Fresh palm kernels contain 20% moisture, and the moisture content of palm kernels must be reduced to less than 7% in order to store them.
5. Palm kernel steaming and frying equipment:
Mainly through heating and steaming and frying, the palm kernel can achieve good oil production conditions, so that more high-quality palm kernel oil can be obtained.
6. Palm kernel oil press equipment:
The palm kernel oil press is the same as the conventional oil press and can be used in general. Through pressing, we can get crude palm kernel oil.
7. Palm kernel oil filtration equipment:
Crude palm kernel oil contains a lot of impurities, and palm kernel oil filtration equipment can enable us to obtain higher quality palm kernel oil.

Two main products obtained after crushing of palm kernels is:

Palm Kernel Oil: – Often regarded as PKO.

Palm Kernel Cake: – Often regarded as PKC.

The palm kernel cake can be used as high-protein feed for dairy cattle. The palm shells are burned in the boilers to generate the steam for seed conditioning.

Palm kernel oil refining plant

PKEO Refinery Main steps

Palm kernel oil refining process: crude palm kernel oil – degumming – deacidification – decolorization – deodorization – refined palm kernel oil – fractionation – palm kernel oil with different melting points

1. The purpose of palm kernel oil refining: to remove impurities, improve product quality, and facilitate safe storage.
2. Requirements for palm kernel oil refining: According to the different crude oil quality and product quality requirements, the refining method and combination process should be reasonably selected to remove non-triglyceride components that hinder certain purposes of use, and to minimize neutral oil and beneficial oils. The loss of ingredients increases the refining yield; it is conducive to the comprehensive utilization of by-products; and it reduces energy consumption.
3. Palm kernel oil refining methods: mechanical methods, chemical methods, and physical methods. Sometimes a refining method will produce several effects at the same time.
4. The main sections of palm kernel oil refining: degumming section, deacidification section, decolorization section, deodorization section, and fractionation section.
