• How does a palm kernel oil expeller work?
  • 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. As the main shaft turns, there is a decrease in volume resulting in pressure in the cage.
  • 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 efficient is a palm kernel oil extraction machine?
  • This research work is focused on the design and construction of a palm kernel oil extraction machine. The machine was designed and fabricated using locally available materials. The machine was evaluated for performance and the results obtained show that the mechanical method is more efficient (66.07%) than the traditional method (37.69%).
  • How palm kernel oil is processed in Nigeria?
  • Large percentage of palm kernel oil in Nigeria market is processed from the traditional method which is not only unhygienic but is equally labourious and time consuming. This research work is focused on the design and construction of a palm kernel oil extraction machine. The machine was designed and fabricated using locally available materials.
  • What is a PK series expeller?
  • Kumar¡¯s PK Series Expellers are designed and manufactured for the efficient extraction of palm kernel oil. The robust construction features a fabricated single chamber expeller constructed with hard-faced wear parts. Investing in an edible oil plant? Maximise its productivity with continuous extractors Setting up a new plant?
  • What are the steps in the palm kernel oil extraction plant?
  • In the Palm Kernel Oil Extraction Plant, the kernel undergoes the following steps: Seed Cleaning, Oil Extraction, Filtration & Oil Storage. The Seed Cleaner is used to clean off foreign materials from palm kernels that may cause damage to the screw-presses, also increasing maintenance costs and down time, and contamination of products.
