Refined, bleached, and deodorized palm oil (RBD palm oil) is an important raw material in industries such as food processing, cosmetics, and biofuels. This article will provide a detailed analysis of the RBD palm oil production process and present a complete palm oil refining production solution, incorporating the advanced technology and equipment of Henan Huatai Cereals and Oils Machinery Co., Ltd.
1. What is RBD Palm Oil?
RBD palm oil refers to palm oil that has undergone refining, bleaching, and deodorizing treatments. This process removes impurities, free fatty acids, pigments, and odors from the crude palm oil, resulting in a colorless, odorless, and highly stable edible and industrial oil.

2. A Comprehensive Analysis of the RBD Palm Oil Production Process
1) Pre-treatment and Degumming
First, the crude palm oil is pre-treated to remove solid impurities. The degumming process removes phospholipids and gummy substances from the oil by adding phosphoric acid or citric acid. Henan Huatai Oil Machinery's continuous degumming system utilizes intelligent temperature control and mixing technology to ensure complete separation of the gums.
2) Neutralization and Deacidification
This stage primarily removes free fatty acids. Traditional methods use alkali refining, while modern technology increasingly employs physical refining. Huatai Oil Machinery's deacidification system separates free fatty acids through high-temperature distillation, achieving an efficiency of over 98% and reducing wastewater discharge.
3) Bleaching Treatment
Bleaching is a crucial step in removing pigments from the crude palm oil. Activated clay is used as an adsorbent at specific temperatures and times. Huatai Oil Machinery's bleaching tower features a multi-layer filtration design and automatic control system to ensure sufficient adsorption of pigments while reducing the amount of adsorbent used.
4) Deodorization Process
Deodorization process removes odorous substances and volatile components from the oil through high-temperature steam distillation. Huatai Oil Machinery's deodorization tower uses stainless steel materials and a high-efficiency packing design, operating under high temperature (240-260℃) and high vacuum conditions to thoroughly remove unpleasant odors while preserving the nutritional components of the oil.
5) Cooling and Filtration
The deodorized oil is cooled and subjected to precision filtration to obtain clear and transparent RBD palm oil. Huatai Oil Machinery's crystallization control system and filtration equipment ensure stable product quality.
