• What is a palm kernel expeller?
  • the term ¡°palm kernel expeller.¡± But what is it, exactly? And why is it important? At its simplest, palm kernel expeller (PKE) is the residue left after oil is extracted from the kernel of the oil palm fruit. It is a valuable byproduct, as it contains a high amount of protein and fiber, making it an ideal ingredient for animal feed.
  • What is palm kernel explorer (PKE)?
  • Palm Kernel Expeller (PKE) is obtained from the residual cake remaining after the extraction of palm kernel oil from the seeds of oil palm trees (Elaeis guineensis). The oil palm industry primarily focuses on extracting palm oil and palm kernel oil, with PKE emerging as a valuable by-product.
  • 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.
  • What are the benefits of palm kernel expeller?
  • Benefits of Palm Kernel Expeller Palm kernel expeller is an important ingredient in animal feed for several reasons. Firstly, it is a rich source of protein, containing around 18-20% protein on a dry matter basis.
  • What is the oil palm industry?
  • The oil palm industry primarily focuses on extracting palm oil and palm kernel oil, with PKE emerging as a valuable by-product. Its production involves a series of mechanical processes aimed at extracting oils from palm kernels, followed by drying and processing the leftover cake into Palm Kernel Expeller.
  • What is palm kernel expeller cake?
  • Palm kernels, the seeds within the fruit, are then subjected to expeller pressing to extract more oil. The residual cake that remains after this process is Palm Kernel Expeller. This cake is dried to reduce moisture content and enhance its shelf life before being marketed for various applications.
