  • What is a palm oil mill?
  • A palm oil mill produces crude palm oil and kernels, as primary products and biomass as secondary product. The capacity of mills varies between 60- 100 tons FFB/h. An average size FFB weighs about 20-30kg and contains 1500-2000 fruits (Figure1).
  • What is palm oil production line?
  • The whole palm oil production line includes palm oil mill process and palm kernel crushing process. Palm oil mill process can help us get crude palm oil, palm kerne crushing process can get us get crude palm kernel oil.
  • How is palm olein processed?
  • There it is processed into refined bleached deodorised oil (RBDO) and palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD). RBDO is then fractionated into palm olein and stearin. The cake, which was separated in the palm oil mill plant, goes through a column where air separates fibres and nuts.
  • How is palm kernel oil produced?
  • Cracked shells and palm kernels are further separated in a clay bath. The shells also go to the steam boiler as fuel. The palm kernels pass through drying silos and into the palm kernel crushing plant. At the palm kernel crushing plant, presses crush the kernels in two stages. The oil produced is filtered and stored as crude palm kernel oil (CPKO).
  • What is palm oil refining?
  • Palm oil refining prefer physical refining rather than chemical refining. The palm oil refinery plant consists of three main sections: dry degumming, bleaching and distillation / deodorization. The plant uses a continuous process.
  • Where does palm oil go?
  • The oil goes to the de-sanding and decanting tanks, while cake, also containing the palm nuts, is conveyed to the palm kernel recovery station. The empty fruit bunches (EFB) are recycled in the plantation. When the oil leaves the screw palm oil press machine it contains water, sand and impurities.
