• 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 is palm kernel expeller made?
  • The production of Palm Kernel Expeller begins with the processing of oil palm fruits, which are harvested from oil palm plantations. The fruits undergo mechanical pressing or solvent extraction to separate palm oil and palm kernel oil. Palm kernels, the seeds within the fruit, are then subjected to expeller pressing to extract more oil.
  • 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 (PKE)?
  • Palm Kernel Expeller (PKE) stands as a testament to the versatility and sustainability of the palm oil industry. Its nutrient-rich composition, coupled with its diverse industrial applications, underscores its importance in global markets.
  • What are high fiber co-products from the copra and palm kernel industries?
  • High fiber co-products from the copra and palm kernel industries are by-products of the production of coconut oil and palm kernel oil. The co-products include copra meal, copra expellers, palm kernel meal, and palm kernel expellers. All 4 ingredients are very high in fiber and the energy value is relatively low when fed to pigs.
  • How is oil extracted from palm kernels?
  • Mechanical extraction by screw pressing is the most common process in oil extraction from palm kernels, which results in production of palm kernel expellers. However, sometimes oil is removed via solvent extraction, and the resultant co-product is called palm kernel meal.
