  • How is palm oil treated?
  • Approx. 95% of palm oil is treated by fractionation – separating the feedstock into its liquid and solid components by crystallization. These crystals are then separated from the liquid fraction using membrane filtration. Alfa Laval provides a range of different equipment often used in crude palm oil (CPO) mills for removing the solids from oils.
  • How sterilizer equipment is used in palm oil mills?
  • Sterilizer equipment in palm oil mills operated in single, double or triple peak cycles as batch process to cook palm bunches using high temperature steam.
  • How is palm oil processed?
  • Processing palm oil for commercial use almost always involves physical refining (acid modification, bleaching and deacidification). Approx. 95% of palm oil is treated by fractionation – separating the feedstock into its liquid and solid components by crystallization.
  • Which palm oil pressing machine is best for mesocarp?
  • Screw press is the most recommended palm oil pressing machine as it yields most oil, nuts can be removed before digesting to yield grade A oil or the mesocarp can be pressed together with nut. Milling machinery uses 2 screw feeders, spacing between screws is hydraulically controlled and suitable for various palm fruit sizes and types.
  • What is palm oil used for?
  • Palm oil. Some 80% of palm oil is used for human consumption: margarine, basic vegetable fat, food oil, cooking oil and specialist fats. It is also used to make derivatives for industrial use: fatty acids, soaps and cosmetics, industrial soaps, inks, resins, methyl esters, and so on. read more... read more... Brochure read more...
  • How long does it take to crystallize palm oil?
  • The duration of the crystallization process for either the crude palm oil or the RBD is 5 hours for any size of cooler/ crystallizer from 2 to 26 tons charge. Call us !
