Concrete Designs of Palm Oil Mill Plant Production Line Process

Reception Station

The fresh palm fruit bunches are sent into the factory through the weighbridge to weight the raw materials and to calculate the production cost. Palm bunches reception process is finished at loading ramp. This loading ramp makes palm fruit unloading,cleaning, storage platforms, adopting all hydraulic segmented discharge.

Sterilization Station

After being transported to the sterilizer, steam will be injected directly inside to weaken the activity of the enzyme, which prevents it getting rancid, to ensure the high quality of the pressed crude palm oil. Meanwhile, it is soft enough for later treshing processing. We have designed both horizontal and vertical sterilizer for larger and smaller line.

Threshing Station

The rotating drum in the thresher separates palm fruits from the bunches. Palm fruit will be conveyed to the digester through elevator, the empty bunch to the outside part through scraper conveyor. Spindle adopts on time forging technology, it makes the equipment solider and more durable. Non spindle tresher is also designed, it is driven by the link chain. It can save the producing cost in a large scale palm oil plant.

Digesting Station

The digester is used to adjust moisture and temperature of the palm fruit, finally to increase the extraction rate of the palm oil. The digester adopts liquid level control system, which can distribute the material all by itself. To realize the automatic working. The presser adopts hydraulic control system to adjust the distance of different pressing worms, it is applicable to different kinds of palm fruits, and it can ensure the high oil extraction rate.

Pressing Station

The palm fruit oil yield increase by adjusting material moisture and temperature in digesting tank.digesting tank uses liquid level control, so material can distribute automatically and equipment runs fully automatically. Pressing machine uses hydraulic control system to adjust spacing between pressing bolts. So it can be suitable for various palm fruit species and guarantee the oil yield.

Clarification Station

Using the latest technology, under the condition of ensuring the good quality of the oil, reduce the equipment cost as much as possible, reduce the loss of the oil, in the practical producing ,the new technology can make the loss of oil less than 1.3%.

Palm Oil Processing Machines

Palm oil processing equipment, from the initial fresh bunches to the final palm oil, requires professional technology to achieve the best possible oil yield and higher quality oil for more efficient production. Based on the growth characteristics of processing capacity of the customer, and taking into account the return on investment, QIE Machinery have designed two main types of palm oil production lines and below shows list of palm oil processing equipment.

Crude Palm Oil Refinery(CPO)

Palm Oil Refinery is an important process in the palm oil mill plant to ensure the quality and safety of palm oil. It’s recommended to refine crude palm oil through our palm oil refining machines to get high-quality palm oil that is easy to store and can priced high. Refined palm oil can be packed and labeled for the local or global market. We offer you complete palm oil pressing refining plant solutions, from plant layout design to palm oil equipment manufacturing, debugging, and installation.

CPO(crude palm oil)→ refining → bleaching → deodorizing →RBD palm oil → crystallization → fractionation → RBD olein & RBD stearin

Degumming

Degumming

The 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.

Neutralizationg

Neutralizationg

    Alkali solution (typically sodium hydroxide) is added to neutralize free fatty acids. 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. We can add some lye to neutralize the free fatty acid, this process is also called alkali refining.

Bleaching

Bleaching

The palm oil bleaching process is to remove oil pigment, residual soap, and metal ions. All the pigments can be removed by the adsorbents method. The bleaching process can improve the oil color, relish, and increase the oxidation stability, thus providing a good condition for the deodorization process.

Deodorization

Deodorization

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.

           

Palm Oil Fractionation Plant

Palm oil is by far the most important fractionated oil in the world; crude, semi- and fully refined palm oil can be fractionated in multi-stage, giving access to several products for specific applications. The typical fractionation process of palm oil mill is pre-heating, cooling, crystallization, and filtering.palm oil fractionation plant adopts advanced crystallization equipment, filtration equipment, and accurate temperature auto-control software to separate palm olein and palm stearin which can get different melting-point fractionation products, including 18℃, 24℃, 32℃, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions of Palm Oil Mill Plant Production Line

Effluent from hydration and degumming stage of refining process. The crude phospholipids separated from the palm oil refining section contain a large amount of water, which needs to be dehydrated by the concentrator, and after concentration, the evaporated water is condensed and discharged as effluent.

Indonesia is the largest producer of palm oil in the world, contributing over 46 million tonnes annually. Learn why Indonesia leads global palm oil production, key producing regions, and major export markets.

Biomass from palm fibers and shells is often used as boiler fuel.
Biogas from effluent treatment, which powers generators.
Electricity from the grid or mill-generated power for automated systems.

The oil winning process, in summary, involves the reception of fresh fruit bunches from the plantations, sterilizing and threshing of the bunches to free the palm fruit, mashing the fruit and pressing out the crude palm oil. The crude oil is further treated to purify and dry it for storage and export.

The three main by-products from the process of extracting oil from palm kernels are the Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB), the Palm Kernel Shell (PKS), and the Mesocarp Fibre (MF).

Crude palm oil (CPO) is raw oil extracted directly from the fruit, containing impurities. Refined palm oil undergoes further processing (degumming, deacidification, bleaching, deodorization) to produce a cleaner, lighter oil suitable for food and industrial applications.

Palm kernel oil extraction involves:
Crushing the palm kernels after the fruit pulp is processed.
Using a palm oil screw press machine or solvent extraction to obtain the oil.
Palm kernel oil is more saturated and harder than palm oil, making it suitable for soaps and non-food products.
