Palm oil is one of the most consumed vegetable oils in the world and is widely used in the food, chemical and biofuel industries. Henan Huatai Cereals and Oils Machinery Co., Ltd., as China's leading grain and oil equipment manufacturer, provides a full set of palm oil production line solutions from fresh palm fruit bunches (FFB) to refined palm oil, covering key processes such as sterilization, threshing, pressing, clarification, and refining. This article will introduce the core equipment configuration and process flow of the palm oil production line in detail.
1. FFB Sterilization System
Sterilization is the primary link in palm oil production. The purpose is to kill enzymes and bacteria, soften the pulp, and facilitate subsequent threshing and oil extraction.
Features of Huatai Oil Machinery Sterilization Equipment:
1) Continuous sterilization tank: Use high-temperature steam (100-130℃) for 60-90 minutes to ensure that the fruit bunches are fully sterilized
2) Energy-saving and efficient: The heat recovery system can reduce energy consumption by more than 30%
3) Automatic control: PLC intelligently adjusts temperature and pressure to ensure stable sterilization effect
2. Threshing and Pomace Separation
The sterilized FFB needs to be threshed to separate palm fruit (FFB) and empty fruit bunches (EFB).
Huatai Oil Machinery Threshing Equipment Configuration:
1) Drum thresher: Processing capacity 10-50 tons/hour, threshing rate ≥98%
2) Vibration screening system: Effectively separate fruit grains and impurities
3) Pomace conveying device: Automatically collect empty fruit bunches, which can be used for biomass fuel
3. Palm Fruit Pressing System
After threshing, the palm fruit needs to be pressed to extract crude palm oil (CPO).
Huatai Oil Machinery' Palm Oil Pressing Equipment Solution:
1) Double screw oil press: high-efficiency pressing, oil yield ≥ 90%
2) Continuous oil pressing system: fully automatic control, 24-hour stable operation
4. Crude Palm Oil Clarification Process
The crude palm oil after pressing contains impurities such as moisture and pulp residue, which need to be settled, centrifuged and dried.
Huatai Oil Machinery's Palm Oil Clarification Equipment:
1) Continuous sedimentation tank: remove solid impurities
2) Centrifuge (German technology, high separation efficiency)
3) Vacuum drying system: ensure moisture ≤ 0.1%
5. Palm Oil Refining Production Line
The crude palm oil needs to be further refined to remove free fatty acids, pigments and odors to improve the quality of oil products.
Huatai Oil Machinery provides two refining processes:
1) Physical palm oil refining (applicable to crude oil with high acid value)
Degumming: removal of phospholipids
Deacidification: high temperature distillation to remove free fatty acids
Decolorization: activated clay adsorption decolorization
Deodorization: vacuum distillation to remove odors
2) Chemical palm oil refining (traditional process)
Alkali refining deacidification: neutralization of free fatty acids
Centrifugal separation: removal of soap stock
Decolorization & deodorization: improve oil color and flavor
Indicators of refined palm oil products:
Acid value (AV) ≤0.1mg KOH/g
Peroxide value (PV) ≤2meq/kg
Color (Lovibond colorimetric) ≤3.0R
6. Core Advantages of Huatai Palm Oil Production Line
1) High efficiency and energy saving: more than 30% energy saving compared to traditional equipment
2) High degree of automation: DCS control system, reducing manual intervention
3) Modular design: can be flexibly configured according to production capacity requirements
4) Global service network: After-sales service centers are set up in major palm oil producing areas such as Africa, etc.
Conclusion
Henan Huatai Cereals and Oils Machinery Co., Ltd. provides a complete palm oil production line solution from FFB to refined palm oil, covering key processes such as sterilization, threshing, pressing, clarification, and refining. Whether it is a small palm oil mill or a large palm oil refinery, we can provide customized equipment configuration to ensure efficient, energy-saving, and stable production.
