After pressing, oil palm fruit is divided into two parts: the mixture of oil, water and solid impurities, and the press cake (fiber and nut). The oil is extracted from the fruit through the pressing process. The press machine adopts the double screw helix continuous discharge and hydraulic system, greatly improving production efficiency. 6.Fiber separation.
What is the process of palm oil milling?
The palm oil mill process includes bunch reception: as palm fruit is unloaded, cleaned, and stored on the platform, all using hydraulic segmented discharge.
How much oil is extracted from palm kernels?
The oil palm produces bunches containing many fruits with the fleshy mesocarp enclosing a kernel that is covered by a very hard shell. The FAO considers palm oil (coming from the pulp) and palm kernels to be primary products. The oil extraction rate from a bunch varies from 17 to 27% for palm oil, and from 4 to 10% for palm kernels.
How is palm oil made?
Palm oil is traditionally, and still industrially, produced by milling the fruits of oil palm. Besides milling, palm oil is produced by cold-pressing the fruit of the oil palm since the 1990s. This type of artisanal palm oil is usually not further refined, so they keep the natural red color.
