Crude Palm Oil Processing Plant Introduction:
the oil palm is the most efficient oil-bearing crop in the world, One mature palm tree could produce 100kg  palm fruit, including to 45-50% palm kernel. Only requiring  0.26 hectares of land to produce one tonne of oil.
It produces two types of oils; crude palm oil (CPO) from the pulp (fibrous mesocarp) and crude palm kernel oil (CPKO). from the kernels.
New technology:
the complete FFB palm fruit oil processing plant


in conventional palm oil milling process, the FFB's are sterilized and the fruitlets stripped off.
the loose fruitlets are then digested and pressed to extract the CPO.
the kernels are separated from the fibrous mesocarp in the press cake and later cracked to obtained CPKO.


Main data for Palm Oil Processing Plant
Input fresh palm fruit: 1-10 tons / hour
the rate of output oil: > 30%
Palm kernel recovery rate: 90%
 
Main process for Palm Oil Processing Plant

1.Raw materials storage section of palm oil processing plant:
Fresh palm fruit bunch must be first measurement recorded by the pound into the plant, then unloaded to loaded fruit slopes and stored.

2.Sterilizing section of palm oil processing plant:
 the fresh palm fruit bunch are airtight sterilized in sterilizer.the purpose to prevent enzymes broken down, avoiding FFA content in oil further increase; pretreatment peel, prepared for the follow-up processing; pre-conditioning stone, reducing the damage kernel.
this process adopts the different type Boiling vessel for sterilizing the palm fruit. If for small cacpacity,it directly use waste palm branch or wood for the fuel to reduce down the cost.

3.Threshing section of palm oil processing plant:
the purpose of threshing is the oil palm fruit be separated from the fruit bunch through strong vibration, Threshing equipment is revolving drum thresher.  the oil palm fruit separated be ejected then into the press section. Empty fruit bunch be ejected to the yard from the other side of the revolving drum, or shipped out from the plant as palm orchards slipcover to recycling use, or burning in the locale as fertilizer for agricultural land.

4.Digester & Pressing section of palm oil processing plant:
Oil palm fruit first carry out cooking before pressed, fruit sterilized must be pre-heating for the soft-  pulp, and damage pulp cell structure. Then enter into continuous screw press for pressing.Oil palm fruit pressed is divided into two parts: oil, water, solid impurities mixture and the press cake (fiber and nuclear). Oil, water, solid impurities mixture by the crude oil gutter inflow to oil purification section; press cake by breaking screw conveyor into the fiber- recovery section.

5.Clarification section of palm oil processing plant:
Machinepressed crude oil first diluted with water washing, through settlement and filtration, the fiber material removed from the oil, and then carry out continuous settlement, the whole divided into two parts: oil and sediment. Oil by centrifugal separation and through vacuum drying pumped into the storage tank for storing; oil sediment by filtration and dirt oil separation, oil process second settlement, dirt oil mixture process clarification separation, Skim oil then carry out a second settlement, sewage pumps to sewage treatment pond for dealing with.

6.Finished oil storage and transportation section of palm oil processing plant:
Finished crude oil is stored in storage tanks, the capacity of oil storage tank is two 1000 tons, serve oil shed loading and issuing regularly oil to outside. Finished crude oil generally be stored and transported between at 32 oC to 40 oC, in order to prevent overheating, the working temperature of the palm oil should be at 50 oC to 55 oC.

7.Fiber separation section of palm oil processing plant:
Press cake broken by breaking screw conveyor and then transported into the fiber separation air net and fiber polishing roller for fiber separating. The fiber material separated are sent to the boiler room as fuel; the stone separated are transported to stone warehouse by pneumatic conveying system for temporary storage.

8.Kernel recovery section of palm oil processing plant:
the stone processes intenerate tempering before broken, the intenerating stone by the corrugated crusher be divided into two or more petal, kernel was released. the broken mixture enters into broken mixture separation system; separation system adopts two stage separation and water separation. Separation shell is sent to the warehouse for temporary storage, and when necessary as boiler room fuel;  the moisture content of separation kernel falls to below 7 percent through the hot air to dry. Dried kernel are sent to kernel storage warehouse for storing.
