• 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 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.

  • 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.
  • How is palm oil treated?
  • Approx. 95% of palm oil is treated by fractionation ¨C separating the feedstock into its liquid and solid components by crystallization. These crystals are then separated from the liquid fraction using membrane filtration. Alfa Laval provides a range of different equipment often used in crude palm oil (CPO) mills for removing the solids from oils.
  • How can palm oil be extracted without breaking the kernels?
  • The pressing process required to extract the palm oil from the pulp to the maximum extent without breaking the kernels, because the palm kernel oil after the broken kernels will contaminate the crude palm oil and affect the quality. The use of secondary or multiple pressing processes can effectively reduce the breakage rate of nuts.
