Palm oil extraction machine for sale

Palm oil extraction is a multi-step industrial process involving several key equipment. The specific process and equipment vary depending on the scale of production (small, medium or large factories) and the process (traditional pressing or modern continuous pressing). The following are typical palm oil extraction machines and equipment components:

1. Raw material processing equipment

Sterilizer: Kill enzymes and microorganisms in the fruit through high-temperature steam (120-130℃) to prevent oil hydrolysis.

Fruit thresher: Separate the steamed fruit bunches into loose fruit particles (FFB is separated into individual fruits).

2. Pressing equipment

Crusher: Crush the pulp and heat it (90-95℃) to rupture the oil cells for subsequent pressing.

Screw press: Core equipment that extracts crude palm oil (CPO) and residue (fiber, shell, etc.) from the pulp through mechanical extrusion.

3. Oil residue separation equipment

Vibrating screen: Preliminary filtration of the pressed liquid to remove large particles of residue.

4. Oil refining equipment (optional)

Clarifier: Stands to separate the oil layer and the water layer.

Dryer: Removes residual moisture from oil.

Filter: Uses diatomaceous earth or activated carbon to absorb impurities and improve oil purity.

5. By-product processing equipment

Nutshell separator: Separates palm kernels and nutshells from the pressing residue.

Palm kernel oil extraction equipment: If palm kernel oil (PKO) is to be extracted, additional crushers, presses or solvent extraction equipment are required.
