- 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 Material 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.
- Ⅲ. Separation And Refining Equipment: The Essence of The Extraction Process
►Palm Oil Filter Machine: Separates impurities and insoluble substances from the oil to improve the clarity and quality of the final product.
►Palm Oil Refining Plant: Further removing residual impurities and off-flavors to improve the taste and stability of palm oil.
- Ⅳ. Final Product Preparation Equipment: The Last Process of Polishing Quality
►Hydrolysis Unit: to change the physical and chemical properties of palm oil to make it more suitable for specific applications, such as food processing or industrial use.
►Hydrogenation Equipment: plays a role in the partial processing of palm oil and is used to change the saturation and texture of the oil to meet the needs of market segments.
►Palm Oil Packaging Machine: Packaging of refined and further processed palm oil into a final product ready for sale.
