• How long does it take to sterilize palm oil?
  • The only integrated engineering, equipment and spare parts player in the world for palm oil mills The conventional sterilization of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) is a batch process lasting about 90 minutes in a pressure vessel or sterilizer at 3-bar (40 lb per sq inch) steam temparature of about 140o C to cook the FFB in fruit-cages.
  • How is palm oil processed?
  • For crude palm oil processing, it generally required complete processes such as sterilization, threshing, cooking, pressing, washing, purification, and drying. Sterilization as the first step in palm fruit pressing is critical to the quality of the final production– palm oil.
  • Why is modipalm continuous sterilization better than conventional sterilization?
  • This is where the Modipalm Continuous Sterilization process has an edge over conventional sterilization because of the thin layer of fruit bunches not more than 2-bunch thick along the length and width of the conveyor, hence very little loss of oil in the condensate.
  • What is a palm oil press machine?
  • Reliable palm oil press machine with simple operation, gaining a good reputation in Africa and South America. The main products of the palm fruit plant are palm kernels and crude palm oil, and the processing capacity is about 60 to 100 tons of palm fruit bunches per hour.
  • How FFA is used in palm oil milling?
  • FFA in crude palm oil is comparable to conventional sterilization. One of the breakthroughs in palm oil milling process is the Modipalm Continuous Sterilization System. The new system is able to increase the efficiency in milling by introducing automation and unpressurised cooking. The benefits have been realized by the end users.
  • How long does modipalm continuous sterilization take?
  • The Modipalm Continuous Sterilization process, on the other hand, uses saturated steam at atmospheric pressure at about 100o C to cook the fruit bunches in a non-pressurized cooking chamber for about 80 minutes (compared to 140o C and cooking time of 90 minutes in the conventional process).
