Collect the ripe palm fruit bunches from the plantation and transported by trucks, then pour the FFB(fresh palm fruit bunches) into the discharge door after weighed by weighbridge.

Palm fruits are extremely hard. They must be softened before anything can be done. The first step is to cook them for one hour with high-pressure, high-temperature steam (300 psi, 140 degrees Celsius). The high temperature will make the palm fruit soften, it is easy for palm fruit threshing, and avoid the damage of palm nut. At the same time, steaming destroy the enzymes in the fruits and avoid the increase of FFA content in the palm oil.

Palm fruit pulp cell can be destroyed under the high temperature condition, after that we can get higher oil yield. And then, we can choose the 1-2tph double screw palm oil presser to make oil from palm fruit, which with low residual oil rate, high efficiency, suitable for big palm oil plant production line.
