Expert Tips for Optimal Palm Oil Processing Machinery Selection

When choosing palm oil processing equipment, it must fully consider the palm oil production process technology requirements and various equipment specifications, performance, technical characteristics and use conditions. In the selection of equipment generally determine the type, and then consider the specifications. The following points should be noted when selecting equipment:

  • Meeting Production Process Requirements

When selecting the type of palm oil mill equipment, it is necessary to meet the specific process requirements of palm oil processing (detailed below). When determining machinery specifications, production capacity, technical parameters, number of units, etc., are considered to ensure that production scale requirements can be met with appropriate redundancy.

  • High Efficiency and Low Energy Consumption

Consider choosing palm oil machine with high energy efficiency to improve production efficiency without adding more energy consumption and to promote sustainable development of the palm oil mill.

  • Synergy, Continuity, Automation

Purchase palm oil production equipment with good synergy to ensure smooth cooperation between machines and improve finish oil production efficiency. Try to layout palm oil plant with a high degree of automation to reduce labor costs and improve the continuity of the production line.

  • Prioritize Common and Standard Equipment

Common and standard equipment has been proven in practice, which can ensure its stability and reliability. For some key failure-prone equipment, the reserve of spare parts and substitute equipment should be considered appropriately.

  • With Intelligent Control System

The structure of the palm oil milling machine should be reasonable, the materials used can adapt to various working conditions, and there is a reasonable control system for monitoring parameters such as temperature, pressure, vacuum, concentration, time, speed, flow, liquid level, counting and program, etc., and automatic control is adopted as far as possible.

  • Compliance With Safety Standards and Environmental Regulations

The equipment selected for palm oil processing business must comply with the safety standards for edible oil mill plants, including requirements for fire and explosion prevention, high temperature operation and corrosion resistance. At the same time, when choosing the equipment, we should make sure that it will not have a negative impact on the environment, and consider the equipment for the treatment of palm oil mill effluent.

Unveiling the Key Processing Steps and Equipment in Palm Oil Extraction

Choosing the right palm oil processing equipment is critical to improving productivity and product quality. The following will briefly introduce the typical process flow of palm oil processing plant in Indonesia and the equipment required for each step, which will provide substantial guidance for the selection of equipment for your processing plant.

Please note that different palm oil processing mills may use different equipment and production process technology, and the specific process may vary.

  • Ⅰ. Equipment For Raw M​aterial Handling: The First Step from Nature to Process for Bunches

Palm Fruit Bunch Thresher: Separates the oil palm fruit from the whole bunch.
Palm Fruit Sterilizer: Sterilizes the palm fruits and inhibits the increase of acidity of palm oil
Palm Fruit Digester: Steaming and crushing the palm fruits to facilitate oil extraction

  • ​Ⅱ. Oil Pressing Equipment: Key to Palm Oil Extraction Process

Palm Oil Press Machine: Extraction of palm oil through a continuous process of mechanical extrusion.
