• What is palm oil refining process?
  • The refining process includes degumming, deacidification, decolorization and deodorization, obtaining high quality refined palm oil. Palm oil fractionation equipment can separate palm oil into soft fat and hard fat by controlling the cooling and crystallization process of palm oil.
  • What is the process of palm oil production?
  • In the palm oil production process, the mesocarp is processed to extract crude palm oil (CPO), which is the primary product derived from the oil palm fruit. So, after knowing the insights on palm fruits, let us delve into the further processes of palm oil production.
  • How is crude palm oil refined?
  • The refining of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) involves several essential stages to transform it into a refined and market-ready product. Here’s an overview of these stages: The first stage focuses on reducing the free fatty acid (FFA) content in CPO.
  • How does a palm kernel oilcake work?
  • The expelled kernel oil flows through the slots distributed over the barrel circumference. The oilcake leaves the extraction machine through an adjustable cone and is then delivered to the second pressing Because of their high oil content, Palm kernels have to be subjected to 2 stage pressing for maximum oil yield.
  • Why is palm kernel oil better than crude oil?
  • Due to high acidity and relatively low phosphatide content, palm and palm kernel oil are generally physically refined, which is preferred to the chemical process. The quality of the crude oils has to be considered as it can greatly affect the efficiency of the refining process.
  • How palm kernel oil is processed?
  • The dried palm kernels are sold to palm kernel mills to extract palm kernel oil. For crude palm oil processing, it generally required complete processes such as sterilization, threshing, cooking, pressing, washing, purification, and drying.
