Palm oil mill process

2018-07-10

Palm oil mill process is different from other oil seeds processing. Palm oil mill process includes 6 parts: Palm fruits receiving, sterilizing, threshing, digesting and pressing, crude oil clarifying and palm kernel recovery.
The quality of crude palm oil depends on harvesting, in the handling of the FFB and the process adopted.

For the palm kernel processing, there are steps such as nut/fiber separation, nut conditioning and cracking, cracked mixture separation, and kernel drying and storage. The dried kernels are often sold to palm kernel crushers for extraction of crude palm kernel oil. In some integrated plants, kernel crushing facilities exist side by side in the same complex.
We will choose the palm oil mill process according to the different requirements of different customers. Both technical and economic effects are taken into account while plan the palm oil mill process, so that to build the best palm oil mill plant,
Henan Huatai Company is your best choice.After processed the palm oil mill process,the crude palm oil can be sold or deeply processed.

The next station of palm oil production is palm oil refinery process:

Palm oil refinery is an essential process for a complete palm oil mill plant because there are still some impurities such as phospholipids, FFA, pigment, odor,etc. in the crude palm oil.
Henan Huatai Cereals and Oils Machinery Co., Ltd as a professional palm oil refinery manufacturer who is devoted to processing pure edible oil for worldwide customers. We can provide professional technical support and first class palm oil refinery plant and other palm oil machine for customers.

In general, palm oil refinery plant divides to 3 types: batch palm oil refinery plant, semi-continuous palm oil refinery plant, continuous palm oil refinery plant. These 3 oil refinery plants are used for different capacity.
Main Steps of palm oil refinery：
1.Degumming.
In this step gums in crude oil are removed by hydration with the help of phosphoric acid. Degumming is the first step for the whole palm oil refinery process.
2. Neutralization.
In this step free fatty acids are neutralized by using sodium hydroxide and convert them into soap. Additional impurities are also removed by adsorption on soap.Neutralization is also called deacidification, it is the important part for palm oil refinery.
3. Bleaching.
During bleaching, unwanted pigments are adsorbed physically and oil will become much clearer. Bleaching is also decolorization in palm oil refinery.
4. Deodorization.
Deodorization is used to remove unacceptable odors by steam distillation, the odoriferous compound are stripped off with the help of live injected steam into heated oil under high vacuum pressure. Deodorization is mainly for making oil color lighter during palm oil refinery process. Which can make oil looks good.
