What machinery is needed to produce palm fruit oil?
Crude palm oil (CPO) and palm meal (PE) can be obtained from the palm fruit through the process of cooking,mashing and pressing. Palm oil fruits contain two different kinds of oil, palm oil from the fruit; and palm kernel oil from the palm seeds (kernel). All of these products are effectively used in food, chemical, agriculture and other fields. It can be said that palm is a good economic plant. After the above primary stage of extraction, the crude palm oil and crude palm kernel oil are sent for refining, and after removing free fatty acids, coloring, and odors, they become salad grade fats and oils - Refined Palm Oil (RBD PO) and Palm Oil Salad Oil (RBD PKO). In addition, according to the needs of different users, palm oil can be further fractionated and processed to form Palm Oleic Acid (PFAD), Palm Liquid Oil (OLEAN for short), Palm Stearin (STEARINE or ST for short).
The process is as follows:
(1) First, the fresh palm fruit bunches are sterilized with steam. The sterilization can effectively inhibit the activity of splitting enzymes, ensure the quality of palm oil, reduce oil loss, and make the palm fruit soft and easy to separate. The specific method is to put fresh palm fruits into a sterilization tank, then use steam to carry out the cooking and fermentation process.
(2) Send the sterilized palm fruits to the threshing machine for threshing. After the threshing is completed, Place in a mashing machine for mashing; palm fruit should be mashed before pressing in order to press out the oil more effectively.
(3) Send the defruited and mashed palm fruits to a double-screw oil press for pressing to obtain crude oil;
(4) Filter and separate the crude oil through a vibrating separation screen. After removing coarse residues such as fibers, the clean oil is stored in the clarified oil tank, and then passed through the oil purification separator for further waste purification;
(5) The pure oil obtained after separation and filtration is heated to a certain temperature by a plate heater, and then the residue in the oil is drained by a vacuum dryer to obtain the finished oil.
