What are reasons that affect the oil yield of palm oil press?

Palm fruit consists of two parts: palm pulp and palm core. Due to the characteristics of palm oil pressing to maintain the integrity of the palm core, the palm oil press is specially designed for palm pulp extraction. Here we will discuss the reasons that affect the oil yield of palm oil press are five factors including if palm fruit has not been sterilized, if the rotational speed of the screw shaft is suitable, if the screw shaft or the cake outlet of the palm oil press is not smooth, if feed situation is suitable during pressing and if palm oil press chamber temperature is perfect.

First, the reason may be that the palm fruit has not been sterilized. The effect of sterilization is to soften the fruit and increase the humidity of the fruit, so it is easy to get oil. If the palm fruit is not sterilized before entering the oil press, it will affect the oil yield of palm oil press on the one hand. Palm fruit, on the other hand, may become rancid, increasing the free fatty acids in it ,affecting the quality of our crude oil. Therefore, sterilization is a very important process to improve the oil yield of palm oil press.

Second, it is on the rotational speed of the screw shaft. If the rotation speed of the screw shaft of the palm oil press is too fast, some oils will fall out of the cake outlet before the palm oil can be fully squeezed out. In this case, there is less oil, and the residual oil in the cake residue is high, so it needs to be pressed again. If the speed of the screw shaft of the palm oil press is too slow, the pressing time will increase, which will cause too much heat loss, and the optimum temperature for oil extraction will not be reached, thereby reducing the oil yield of palm oil press.

Third, if the screw shaft or the cake outlet of the palm oil press is not smooth, it will reduce the feed speed and the smoothness of the screw shaft to press the oil and the cake output, thereby reducing the oil yield of palm oil press.

Fourth, feed situation is suitable during pressing. When the palm oil press is working normally, if the feed is too much or too fast, it may cause blockage of the palm oil press, resulting in unsmooth oil and cake output, reducing the oil yield of palm oil press; too little or too slow feed will reduce work efficiency.

Fifth, it is about palm oil press chamber temperature. If the temperature of the palm oil press is too high, the color of the oil and the cake will become darker or even burnt, which will increase the loss of palm oil. If the pressing temperature of the palm oil press is too low, the pressure of the palm oil press will not achieve the pressure intensity required for oil extraction, and the oil yield of palm oil press will be poor.

Therefore, it is necessary to carefully observe the working conditions of the palm oil press when operating it. The the oil yield of palm oil press is low due to the state of the palm fruit, which can only be avoided by improving the state of the palm fruit; However, the problem of low oil yield caused by the pressing pressure of the palm oil press, the unsmooth screw shaft, and the difficulty in adjusting the speed can be avoided.

Our company's palm oil press will grind the screw before leaving the factory to keep it smooth. At the same time, the rotation speed of the screw shaft is designed properly, and a one-year warranty period is provided to achieve the best oil output effect.
