How to make palm kernel oil step by step with picture?

As we all know, oil palm can produce two distinct oils - palm oil extracted from fresh palm fruit and palm kernel oil obtained from the palm nuts. If you want to make palm kernel oil, generally speaking, it needs seven steps, including: removing the fiber, cracking the palm nut, separating palm kernel and shell, crushing palm kernel, cooking, pressing and filtering. Then, we will introduce these seven steps one by one for you with pictures.

Step 1: Removing the fiber on the palm nuts

If the fiber on the palm nut is more and long, it will influence the separating effect of palm kernel and shell. So the fist step to make palm kernel oil is to remove the fiber on the palm nuts, using fiber separating machine. The picture of fiber separating machine is as following.

Step 2 & 3: Cracking the palm nut and separating palm kernel and shell

If use traditional method, you need a palm nut cracking machine to crack the palm nut, and then use wet method to separate the kernel and shell. But this method is very slow, so DOING recommend you our palm kernel cracking and separator machine, which is a system which can crack the palm nut and separate kernel and shell automatically.

DOING palm kernel cracking and separator machine is one of hot sale machine to make palm kernel oil in Africa market, and we have successfully installed many projects there.

Step 4: Crushing palm kernel

Because the palm kernel is big, to have better pressing effect, it needs to be crushed into small pieces using palm kernel crushing machine.

Step 5: Cooking

Before pressing, the palm kernel should be cooked or heated for conditioning the temperature and moisture to get higher quality oil and cake.

Step 6: Pressing

The pre-treated palm kernels are feed into special used palm kernel oil expeller machine.

Step 7: Filtering

Last, pressed crude palm kernel oil should be refined through plate filter to remove the impurities. If you want to get higher quality palm kernel oil, you also need a palm kernel oil refinery machine, which can refine crude palm kernel oil into RBD palm kernel oil.
