Complete List of Palm Kernel Oil Production Units

Palm kernel oil, derived from the kernels of the palm fruits, is a versatile and valuable product used in various industries. Producing this oil involves several stages, each requiring specialized palm kernel oil production units to ensure efficiency and quality. Here is a complete list palm kernel oil production units used in palm kernel oil production:

List1: Palm Kernel Pretreatment Unit

1. Palm kernel fiber separation machine:

If your raw material is palm nuts obtained after pressing palm fruits, you need to use palm kernel fiber separation machine to remove the fibers on the palm kernels to obtain clean palm kernels. However, if your raw material is already processed clean palm kernels, this palm kernel fiber separation machine is not necessary.

2. Palm kernel shell crushing and separation machines:

After removing the fiber from the palm nut, the palm kernel and shell need to be crushed and separated by using the palm kernel shell crushing and separation machines. The palm kernel shell crushing and separation machines include bucket elevator, kernel grading screen, sheller, air separation column and cyclone separator. In this regard, I recommend the palm kernel shell crushing and separation machines manufactured by Henan Glory Company. Their shelling and crushing effect can be as high as about 95%. Henan Glory Company is a palm kernel oil production units manufacturer with many years of experience. It can not only provide you with one-to-one service, but also support palm kernel oil production units customization.

3. Palm kernel crushing machine:

The palm kernel particles obtained after being processed by the above palm kernel shell crushing and separation machines are large and very dry. This makes it very difficult to press the palm kernels. Therefore, palm kernel crushing machines are needed to crush the palm kernels in preparation for the next step of adjusting the moisture and temperature.

4. Palm kernel roasting machine:

The palm kernel roasting machine is used to adjust the temperature and moisture of palm kernels, making them softer and easier to extract oil during pressing, thereby increasing the oil yield of palm kernel oil production.

List2: Palm Kernel Oil Extraction Unit

1. Palm kernel oil pressing machine:

Next, in the palm kernel oil extraction unit, the roasted palm kernels are transported to the palm kernel oil press machines, where the palm kernels are continuously squeezed by the pressing screw to squeeze out the oil. After pressing, we can get crude palm kernel oil and pressed cake. It is worth mentioning that the palm kernel oil press machine produced by Henan Glory Company is made of high-quality steel. Its pressed screw is not only wear-resistant but also has a longer life. In addition, before the palm kernel oil press machine is shipped, the company's machine quality inspectors will test the palm kernel oil press machines several times to ensure that the oil output rate of the machine meets the standard.

2. Palm kernel oil filtering machine:

After the palm kernel is pressed to produce crude palm kernel oil, the plate and frame filter can be used to remove impurities in the crude oil. The plate and frame filter has a simple structure and is easy to operate and maintain.

List3: Palm Kernel Oil Refining Unit

1. Palm kernel oil degumming machine:

This palm kernel oil degumming machine is used to remove the colloid-soluble impurities in crude palm kernel oil. Removing the colloid-soluble impurities before alkali refining of crude palm kernel oil can reduce the loss of neutral oil, thereby improving the quality of alkali-refined palm kernel oil.

2. Palm kernel oil deacidification machine:

This palm kernel oil deacidification machine is used to inhibit the generation of free fatty acids in crude palm kernel oil. Unrefined crude palm kernel oil contains a certain amount of free fatty acids. Inhibiting the increase of free fatty acids helps to increase the storage time of palm kernel oil. In addition, a by-product soap stock will be produced, which can be used in the production of soap later.

3. Palm kernel oil decolorization machine:

This palm kernel oil decolorization machine is used to remove pigments and other impurities from palm kernel oil. Although most pigments are non-toxic, they will affect the appearance of the oil. Therefore, in order to produce higher-grade oil products, the oil must be decolorized.

4. Palm kernel oil deodorization machine:

The palm kernel oil deodorization machine is used to remove odorous substances from palm kernel oil, increase the smoke point of oil, improve the flavor of palm kernel oil, increase the stability of palm kernel oil, and improve its color and quality.

List4: Palm Kernel Oil Packaging and Storage Unit

Refined palm kernel oil needs to be stored in oil storage tanks to maintain its stable quality. Or the filling machine can be used to fill refined palm kernel oil into containers for easy sales and transportation.

The above is a complete list of palm kernel oil production units and the palm kernel oil production machines used in each palm kernel oil production unit. The efficient operation of these palm kernel oil production units is crucial to ensuring the quality and yield of palm kernel oil.
