Palm fruit Oil Making Machinery / Palm Oil Processing Equipment / crude palm oil making machine
1. palm kernel crushing machine ( palm oil mill workshop introduction)
(1)Raw materials receiving: Fresh palm fruit bunch will be loaded on a slope. Under the slope, there are some cages to receive the palm fruits.
(2)Sterilizing: fresh palm fruits bunch are airtight sterilized in sterilizer. The purpose to prevent enzymes broken down, avoiding FFA content in oil further increase.
(3)Threshing: The purpose of threshing is the oil palm fruits be separated from the fruit bunch through strong vibration,
(4)Pressing: Oil palm fruit pressed is divided into two parts: oil, water, solid impurities mixture and the press cake (fiber and nuclear). Oil, water, solid impurities mixture by the crude oil gutter inflow to oil purificationsection; press cake by breaking screw conveyor into the fiber- recovery section.
2. palm kernel crushing machine ( palm oil refinery & Fractionation workshop introduction)
(1).Degumming: This is the most important section of hydrate de-gumming, manage the adding water (there is a little P-acid in the water) amount, temperature and add water speed, usually water adding amount is about 3 times of phospholipid content, that is 3-10% oil weight, water temp needs to be higher than oil temp.
(3).Deacidification:This part adopt alkali refining method, that is use alkalis like (NaOH) to neutral the free fatty acid in oil, during this process it will produce soapstock , then separated from the oil by setting several hours. NAOH solution, not only neutral free fatty acid, also can act with other matters like protein, mucus, phospholipid, pigment. After settling, release the soapstock from the tank bottom. Adding hot water to rinse, remove off the leftover lye , soap and some unhydrated phospholipid in the oil. Finally pumping out soapstock from the tank bottom.
(4).Decolorization: In normal situation , there is pigment in the crude oil , we need to using the active clay to absorb the pigment away , after 20 mins , we use the vibrating filter to filter the waste clay away . If you want to get light color oil , you need to add more active clay . That is mean , the customer can accord to his requirement to control the oil color. This process is carried out under the vacuum condition.
