• 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.
  • What are the products of statolizer fractionation of palm kernel oil?
  • Consequently, the two steps Statolizer fractionation of palm kernel oil results in the following three products: a palm kernel stearin IV ¡«4 (for direct use as CBS), a palm kernel stearin IV ¡«7 (for use as CBS after full hydrogenation), and a palm kernel olein IV ¡«27.
  • What is the difference between palm oil extraction and palm kernel extraction?
  • The extraction procedure of oil from the palm kernel is distinct from the palm oil extraction. The palm kernel is the true seed of the palm fruit, hence it shares similar properties and processing or milling equipment with oil seeds such as shea nuts, groundnuts, rapeseed, cottonseed, or coconut copra.
  • What is the iodine value of palm kernel oil?
  • This typical composition of palm kernel oil is reflected in its iodine value (IV: 16¨C19), which is significantly less compared to palm oil (IV: 51¨C53). In consequence of high acidity in the crude oils, both palm and palm kernel oils have relatively high diacylglycerol levels.
  • Are whole palm fruits lost in palm kernel oil extraction?
  • Again, whole palm fruits are also lost during transportation to the mills, sterilization, and stripping and fiber nut separation. These losses have not been studied and estimated with respect to PKO. When the size of the plantations is considered, the loss may be appreciable. Fig. 11.11. Flow diagram methods of palm kernel oil extraction.
  • What is the highest oil yield in a palm oil extraction machine?
  • The highest oil yield (84.90%) was obtained when the machine was operated at a temperature of 110 ¡ã C, shaft speed of 45 rpm an d 15 minutes heating time. The oil from the palm fruits. Table 2. AverageOil Yield (%), Extraction Efficiency (%) and Extraction Loss (%) 4. CONCLUSION
