Small scale palm oil processing process

Palm oil mill plant involves the following seven processing steps:

The first station: Palm Fruit Reception Station

In order to calculate the cost, calculate the oil extraction rate, we need to use weighbridge weigh the palm fruit bunches firstly.

The second station: Palm Fruit Sterilization Station

In small scale palm oil mill plant, we usually use vertical sterilizer to process palm fruits by direct steam, the purpose is to prevent enzymes broken down, avoiding FFA content in oil further increase.

The third station: Palm Fruit Threshing Station

After palm fruit sterilizer process, we need to use drum type palm fruit thresher machine to separate palm fruit from palm fruit bunches.

The fourth station: Palm Fruit Digesting Station

Before extracting palm oil, the palm fruits need to be crushed in digester machines. The digester machine can help crush the palm fruit, so the oil will come out first, this can improve the final oil yield.

The fifth station: Palm Oil Pressing Station

After palm fruit digesting process, the palm pulp will fall into the double screw palm oil press machine. This machine can help extract residue oil out.

The sixth station: Palm Oil Clarification Station

The purpose of palm oil clarification machines in palm oil processing process is to remove various kinds of impurities in crude palm oil, such as the fiber, the sand, the water, small impurities, etc.

The seventh station: Palm Oil Drying Station

After palm oil clarification station, we can get pure palm oil. They can be stored in barrels or gallons before they are transported to the market.
