Palm kernel oil extraction flow introduction

The palm kernel oil extraction flow and the palm fruit oil extraction flow are two different processes. The palm kernel oil extraction flow includes: fiber and kernel separation, kernel grading, kernel shell separation, crushing, cooking, pressing and filtration. Next, Henan Glory Oils and Fats Editor will give you a detailed introduction to the "palm kernel oil extraction flow".

1. Fiber and Kernel Separation Section:

First, we need to separate the harvested kernels from the fibers on the kernel surface through a fiber separation equipment to obtain clean palm kernels, which will facilitate the subsequent processing of palm kernels and reduce wear on palm kernel oil extraction equipment. In addition, the separated fibers can be used as biomass fuel. And the palm kernels will be transported to the kernel grading equipment for the next step of processing.

2. Kernel Grading Section:

The clean palm kernels will then enter the magnetic separator through the bucket elevator to remove metal impurities in the palm kernels. Then they will enter the kernel grading screen to separate the palm kernels according to their size. The screen apertures are different, so large palm kernels and small palm kernels can be separated and enter two palm kernel shelling equipment respectively for shelling. In this regard, I recommend the palm kernel shelling equipment of Henan Glory Company, which can achieve a shelling rate of more than 95%.

3. Kernel Shell Separation Section:

Next, the palm kernels and shells are transported to the kernel-shell separation equipment, and the shells of palm kernels of different sizes are separated from the palm kernels by adjusting the parameters of the kernel shell separation equipment, which reduces the wear of the palm kernel shell on the equipment.

4. Crushing Section:

The palm kernels with shells removed are then transported to the crusher for crushing, so that the particle size of the palm kernels becomes smaller and the contact area becomes larger, which is conducive to the transfer of temperature and moisture in subsequent processes.

5. Cooking Section:

Then the crushed palm kernels are transported to the roaster for high-temperature steaming and frying, and the temperature, moisture and humidity of the palm kernels are adjusted to make them reach the best state before pressing.

6. Pressing Section:

Then the cooked palm kernels are transported to the palm kernel oil pressing equipment, and the oil in the palm kernels is squeezed out by the continuous squeezing of the palm kernels by the pressing screw in the palm kernel oil pressing equipment. After pressing, we can get crude palm kernel oil and pressed cakes. The crude palm kernel oil will be transported to the next process for processing. It is worth mentioning that the palm kernel oil pressing equipment manufactured by Henan Glory Company is a palm kernel oil pressing equipment specially designed according to the characteristics of palm kernels. It is not only easy to operate and maintain, but also the screw is more wear-resistant and has a longer service life.

7. Filtration Section:

Finally, the crude palm kernel oil is transported to the plate and frame filter for filtration, and a clearer palm kernel oil can be obtained. Furthermore, if your budget cost is high and the local market has requirements for the quality of palm kernel oil, the filtered palm kernel oil can be processed through palm kernel oil refining equipment, which can not only improve the quality of palm kernel oil but also increase your profits.
