Pretreatment is necessary for efficient oil extraction from raw palm kernel. In palm kernel oil industrial production, oil raw materials are usually palm kernel or pressed cake. If the material is palm kernel, the main pretreating steps are palm nut cleaning, shelling and separation, crushing, flaking and steamed frying.
Mechanical Pressing: After pre-treatment, kernels are fed into palm kernel screw press machines that apply high pressure to extract crude palm kernel oil (CPKO). Mechanical pressing can typically extract up to 45-50% of the oil content. Equipped with the automatic temperature-controlling device and crude oil filter tank, Our integrated screw oil press operates easily and has high oil output. After pressing, the crude palm kernel oil is filtered through the filter cloth and stored in tanks temporarily. The specially designed feeder ensures the feeding is continuous and average, thus the pressing process is smooth and efficient.
Heating: Some systems employ heat to improve oil extraction efficiency, making the process smoother and increasing the yield. Heating also helps reduce the oil's viscosity, easing its flow.
Continuous Pressing: In large Palm Kernel Oil production lines, continuous pressing is used to increase the amount of oil extracted. This step may also include a secondary press to further extract oil from the residual cake.
Palm Kernel Oil Press Machine
Large Scale Palm Kernel Oil Press Machine
Palm kernel solvent extraction plant is used to extract palm kernel oil from palm kernel cake.In this part of palm kernel oil extraction plant called palm kernel oil solvent extraction, there is only less 1% oil content in the meal. - See more at: https://www.doinggroup.com/index.php?u=show-1691.html#sthash.si0Qj9Jf.dpuf
Pressed palm cake→Solvent extraction system→D.T.D.C system→Condenser system→Recovery system→Crude palm oil
Solvent (often hexane) is used to dissolve and separate the oil remaining in the press cake. This method increases yield, especially for high-capacity plants.
D.T.D.C means desolventizer, toaster, dryer and cooler, which is mainly used to separate the solvents from the wet meal, then the dried meal will be sent to meal silo for storage.
since miscella oil contains solvents, we need to separate the solvents from the crude palm oil by first evaporation, second evaporation and stripping tower, then we can condensate the oil and pump it into a crude oil tank, and you can choose to sell the crude oil to the refinery factory or you can set up a palm oil refinery plant by yourself.
Usually producing one ton crude palm oil through the palm oil solvent extraction method needs around 4kg solvents. Considering of cost-effectives and environmental protection, we add this system to recycle the solvents by condensing it and collecting it for reuse.
We can offer turnkey palm oil refinery plant solutions from plant layout design, machinery manufacturing, onsite debugging and installing. The production capacity ranges from 5 ton/d up to 1000 ton/day
Degumming Process
The oil degumming process aims to remove the gum impurities in crude palm oil to make it suitable for further refinery processes. Water or acid is added to remove phospholipids and gums.
Deacidification Process
Oil Deacidification is a process that has a great impact on palm oil quality. If there is a problem with the neutralization process, the following decoloration will be greatly affected. The free fatty acid in crude palm oil can affect the stability and relish of palm oil.
Bleaching Process
The palm oil bleaching process is to remove oil pigment, residual soap, and metal ions. The bleaching process can improve the oil color, relish, and increase the oxidation stability, thus providing a good condition for the deodorization process.
Deodorization Process
Steam distillation removes volatile components that cause odors. The palm oil deodorization section plays an important role in improving palm oil quality. The refined palm oil is nearly colorless and transparent in the liquid state and white in the solid state.
Purpose: Fractionation separates palm kernel oil into liquid (olein) and solid (stearin) fractions. Olein is typically used in food, while stearin is used in non-food products, like soaps and cosmetics.
Dry Fractionation: This process crystallizes the oil without chemicals, followed by filtration to separate solid and liquid components. The dry fractionation method is cost-effective and ideal for high-purity olein.
Solvent Fractionation: Uses a solvent to improve the separation of olein and stearin, producing a high-quality product with higher purity.

Learn MoreThe process of palm kernel oil expeller line;
1.Palm kernel cleaning :It is used for removing the iron impurities, stone, fiber and others. These impurities are bad for machines, especially for the palm kernel oil expeller.
2.Palm kernel crushing:because the palm kernel is hard and big size, it is required to crush to smaller and even pieces.
3.Palm kernel and shell separation. After crushing, the palm kernel is easily to separate.
4.Palm kernel drying. Fresh kernel contains 20% moisture. Palm kernel has no mildew during transportation and storage while moisture drops below 7%.
5.Cooking section: It is used for heating and cooking the crushing materials, to make it be suitable for pressing, doing like this can help final user get the maximum oil and good quality cakes.
6.Palm kernel oil pressing. Palm kernel oil pressing processing line is simple with usual oil seeds. The pre-pressing in oil pressing machine line can obtain 1/4 palm kernel oil, and residual oil need twice pressing.
7.Palm kernel filtering section: after pressing, there are some oil dregs in the crude oil, after clarifying, we need to filter the crude oil to avoid impurities in advance before refining process.
The palm kernel oil production line typically includes pre-treatment (cleaning, drying, and crushing), shell and kernel separation, palm kernel oil pressing or solvent extraction, crude palm oil clarification, and refining to ensure a high-quality oil output.
Both physical and chemical refining methods can be used. Chemical refining is typically preferred for higher Free Fatty Acid (FFA) oils, while physical refining is suited to lower FFA oils.
In addition to the flesh of palm fruit, palm kernels also contain oil. The oil content of palm kernel is about 50%, which can be extracted by pressing. Palm kernel processing plant has small workshops and medium and large factory. Compared to small scale plant, medium and large plant has a complete palm kernel oil production line.
The solvent extraction process is ideal for achieving a higher oil yield from palm kernels. It allows for the recovery of nearly all remaining oil after mechanical pressing, making it more efficient, especially for larger palm kernel oil production lines focused on maximizing output.
