• What is a palm kernel oil expeller machine?
  • A high torque and low rotational speed palm kernel oil expeller machine was developed by introducing an adjustable choke mechanism that permits adjustment of the back pressure to regulate the thickness and dryness of the pressed cake passing through the clearance between the barrel and the screw shaft.
  • 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.
  • How are palm kernels cleaned?
  • The palm kernels are subjected to cleaning in a seed cleaner. It is a Vibrating screen unit for separating trash, impurities from the kernels. The cleaned Kernels are fed to a palm kernel oil expeller machine, which consists of a main shaft and worms, which rotates within a stationary perforated cylinder called a cage or barrel.
  • What is palm fruit & palm kernel oil?
  • Palm fruit or palm kernel for edible oil has been processed in Africa for thousands of years, and the oil produced, highly colored and fragrant, is an essential ingredient in one of the traditional African cuisine. Mechanical extraction processes are suitable for both small, medium and large capacity operations. The basic steps are :
  • How to separate palm kernels & shells?
  • The output from the Ripple Mill is a mixture of kernels and Shells. After cracking, next step is the separation of Palm Kernels and Shells. Since the density of kernels & Shells is almost the same, it is difficult to separate it by gravity or Air. A Clay-bath is proven to be the best solution for separation of kernels and shells.
