Palm kernel oil extraction machine
Palm kernel oil is derived from palm kernel, which is characterized by high content of lower fatty acids, which makes it different from palm oil and similar to coconut oil. The palm kernel oil is milky white or yellowish when it is fresh, giving off a pleasant aroma reminiscent of walnuts. Because of its cost-effectiveness, it is widely used in food industry as a common condiment. Its appeal also lies in its high oxidation stability and its free of cholesterol and trans fatty acids, which makes it especially suitable for frying applications and beneficial to overall health.
Key factors of palm kernel oil processing
In most cases, production capacity is the basic factor in selecting palm kernel oil production technology and palm kernel oil extraction equipment. The production capacity is small, and the processing equipment and technology of palm kernel oil are relatively simple. Otherwise, the equipment and technology of palm kernel oil processing are more complicated. Therefore, when purchasing palm kernel oil equipment, it is best to know your expected production capacity.
The extraction of palm kernel oil involves several key stages:
1. Palm kernel cleaning: The first step is to clean thoroughly to eliminate impurities such as iron wire, stone and fiber, which may damage the palm kernel oil extraction machine.
2. Palm kernel crushing: Palm kernel is crushed twice to facilitate oil extraction. The first crushing will break the big and hard nuts, and the subsequent crushing will break them into smaller pieces, thus improving the production efficiency of palm oil.
3. Separation of palm kernel and shell: At this stage, palm kernel and shell are separated, and wet or dry separation method can be selected according to processing capacity and funds.
4. Drying of palm kernel: Fresh palm kernel contains a lot of water, and the water content must be reduced below 7% to obtain the best storage conditions.
5. Steaming and frying palm kernels: Heating and cooking are used to improve oil quality by destroying cell structure and adjusting water content.
6. Palm kernel oil pressing: The crushed kernels are pressed by a special palm kernel oil extraction machine to extract crude palm kernel oil.
7. Palm kernel oil filtration: Crude oil is filtered to remove impurities and improve its purity and quality.
8. Refinement of palm kernel oil: The last step involves removing unhealthy and unwanted components from crude palm kernel oil to obtain refined products suitable for various applications.
Palm kernel oil extractor
According to the above palm kernel oil production process, the basic equipment for palm kernel oil processing includes: cleaning machine, crusher, shell-kernel separator, digester, oil press, oil filter, refining equipment, etc. The price of these devices varies with the capacity and quality.
Palm kernel oil refining equipment
The refining process of palm kernel oil is the same as that of other crude vegetable oils, which is divided into four steps: degumming, deacidification, decoloration and deodorization. Generally speaking, refining equipment can be divided into batch refining equipment, semi-continuous refining equipment and full-continuous refining equipment according to different processing capacity and customer requirements.
So, how to choose the suitable oil refinery machine for your palm kernel oil processing？
When selecting suitable palm kernel oil processing equipment, it is important to consider the production capacity. For refining equipment with daily output less than or equal to 20 tons, it is recommended to choose batch/batch refining equipment. For the case of daily output exceeding 20 tons, it is recommended to use semi-continuous refining equipment. If the production capacity is 50 tons/day or above, it is suitable to choose full continuous refining equipment. It is very important to match the refining equipment with the actual production capacity to ensure efficient and effective palm kernel oil processing.
