What Equipment Does Our Palm Oil Line Provide?
Raw Materials Reception Station
Receive and weigh fresh fruit bunches (FFB), then unload by tipper or manually. Convey cages to sterilization to reduce spoilage.
Required Equipment
- Weighbridge System
- Loading Ramp
- Low Maintenance & Easy Operation
- Hydraulic Tipper
- Inclined Belt or Chain Conveyor
Weighbridge Systems
Weighbridge systems accurately record the weight of fresh fruit bunches (FFBs), providing important data for yield tracking and transaction transparency.
Fruit Cages or Trolleys
Fruit cages or trolleys are used to store and transport fresh fruit bunches (FFBs). They can support heavy loads without deforming due to their corrosion-resistant construction.
Inclined Belt or Chain Conveyor
This conveyor moves fruit cages or FFB to sterilization, with durable, corrosion-resistant parts for continuous use.
Sterilization Station
Sterilization cooks FFB at 145°C (60–90 mins) to reduce FFA and ease separation. Our boiler ensures steady heat to prevent oil solidification.
Required Equipment
- Horizontal or Vertical Sterilizer
- Steam Boiler System
- Sterilizer Cage
- Hoist or Crane for Cage Handling
- Condensate Recovery Tank
Horizontal or Vertical Sterilizers
Used to cook fresh fruit bunches (FFB) at 145°C for 60 to 90 minutes, available in horizontal or vertical configurations and equipped with a pressure-resistant, insulated chamber to retain heat and ensure uniform steam penetration.
Steam Boiler Systems
Provide high-pressure, high-temperature steam required for palm fruit sterilization. For steady, uninterrupted heat delivery. Prevents undercooking and solidification of the oil, thereby maintaining overall processing efficiency and oil quality.
Sterilization Cages
Carry and transport batches of fresh FFB in and out of the sterilization chamber, made of heavy-duty heat-resistant steel, capable of withstanding repeated high temperatures and pressures. Ensures safe and orderly batch processing.
Threshing Station
The palm fruit is separated from the fruit bunches by mechanical means; the fruit is transported to the next process through the under thresher conveyor, and the empty fruit bunches are discharged.
Required Equipment
- Rotary Drum Thresher
- Vibrating Screen Separator
- Empty Bunch Conveyor
Rotary Drum Thresher
A rotating cylindrical drum with a built-in lifting device made of wear-resistant steel is used to stir the fruit bunches to make the fruit fall off, with an adjustable speed and to minimize the damage to the fruit pulp.
Vibrating Screen Separator
Located below the thresher, it filters out fine debris, stem fragments and undersized particles from the fruit through high-frequency vibration and multi-layer mesh screens.
Empty Bunch Conveyor
A chain or belt mechanism is usually used to handle large pieces of fibrous materials, automatically remove empty bales, and convey the fruit bunch residue discharged by the thresher.
Digesting & Pressing Station
The palm fruit is pounded in a digester to obtain a homogenous blend of the pulp. After that, crude palm oil (CPO) is extracted from the palm fruit paste using a screw press, leaving behind palm oil cake.
Required Equipment
- Vertical/Horizontal Digester
- Single Screw or Double Screw Oil Press
- Oil Collection Tank
- Cake Conveyor
Vertical/Horizontal Cooker
The palm fruit is crushed and mashed using carbon steel reamers to break down the mesocarp tissue and loosen the oil-bearing cells. A steam coil is built in to allow steam to be introduced to prevent the palm oil from condensing in the tank.
Single or Double Screw Oil Press
The reducer, hydraulic pump station and oil press work together to apply continuous pressure through the screw shaft to extract crude palm oil (CPO) from the mashed pulp and discharge the intact palm fruit kernel.
Oil Collection Tank
Located below the oil press, it collects the extracted crude palm oil for further clarification. Made of stainless steel or food-grade steel, it is usually equipped with a drain valve and mesh screen for initial sedimentation and removal of debris.
Oil Clarification Station
The extracted oil undergoes settling, centrifugation, and filtration to remove impurities and produce clean, saleable crude palm oil.
Required Equipment
- Clarification Tank
- Oil Skimme
- Vibrating Screen
- Sludge Tank and Pump
- Plate And Frame Filter Press
Clarification Tank
Use gravity to settle crude palm oil and separate it from water, solids and sludge. Adopt heating coil and insulation wall design to maintain optimal temperature for efficient separation.
Vibrating Screen
Use double-layer stainless steel screen, 20 mesh on the upper and 40 mesh on the lower, high-frequency vibration and tilting design to filter out coarse particles, fibers and debris.
Plate and Frame Filter Press
Perform final filtration to remove 99% of impurities in clarified oil. It is made of corrosion-resistant filter plates and replaceable filter cloths to achieve high filtration accuracy of crude palm oil.
