Palm oil mill plant consists of sterilization, threshing, digesting and pressing, clarification, purification, drying and storage.
Production capacity: 60-120 TPH
Palm oil mill process flow chart as follows
Large-scale palm oil mill plants, featuring all stages required to produce palm oil to international standards, are generally handling from
60 to 120 tonnes of FFB/hr. The large installations have mechanical handling systems (bucket and screw conveyers, pumps and pipelines)
and operate continuously, depending on the availability of FFB. Flow chart of the palm oil mill process is shown as follows:
1.Raw material reception:
As for the first step of palm oil mill process,collecting the FFB and convey by trucks, then pour the fluster into the discharge door after weighed.
2.Sterilization:
FFB are airtight sterilized in sterilizer of palm oil mill process, the purpose is to prevent enzymes broken down, avoiding FFA content
in oil further increase.
3.Threshing:
The purpose of threshing in the palm oil mill process is to separate the palm fruit from the FFB. The drum type thresher is the usual machine
to separate the fruit.
4.Digesting and pressing:
The purpose of digesting in the palm oil mill process is to separate the pulp and nut and crush the palm pulp. Then it is sent to
continuous screw press. After pressing of palm oil mill process, oil palm fruit is divided into two parts: the mixture of oil, water and
solid impurities, and the press cake (fiber and nut).
5.Oil clarification:
As for the oil clarification of palm oil mill process,oil is clarified by the vibrate screen.
6.Kernel recovery:
As for the last step of palm oil mill process, The separated fiber material is sent to the boiler room as fuel; the separated kernel is transported to
kernel warehouse by pneumatic conveying system for temporary storage.
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. After processed through the palm oil
mill process,the crude palm oil can be sold or deeply processed, including palm oil refining processing and palm oil fractionation.
