Palm Kernel Oil Extraction Made Easy with our Machines

HOME > Knowledge Center > Various Oil Seeds & Nuts Processing Made Easy

As we all know, oil palm is an important oil crop since it has very high oil content. Both the palm fruit and palm kernel of the palm fruit can be extracted vegetable oil. The oil content of palm fruit is 46% ~ 50%, and that of palm kernel is 50% - 55%. Palm oil and palm kernel oil are the commonly used cooking oil in Nigeria, Malaysia, Indonesia, Liberia and Congo, so palm oil processing equipment and palm kernel oil production machinery are popular in these regions.

Key Factors of Palm Kernel Oil Processing - Capacity & Process & Equipment

Generally, palm kernel oil processing capacity, palm kernel oil extraction process and palm kernel oil extraction machinery are the key factors to start up palm kernel oil mill plant for business. Usually, the palm kernel oil processing can be divided into mini scale, small scale, medium scale and large scale type. (Related Post: Palm Kernel Oil Business Plan >>)

  • Mini Scale Palm Kernel Oil Extraction: 1~5 tons per day
  • Small Scale Palm Kernel Oil Extraction: 1~20 tons per day
  • Medium Scale Palm Kernel Oil Extraction: 20~50 tons per day
  • Large Scale Palm Kernel Oil Extraction: 50 tons per day above

In most of the cases, capacity is the basic factors to choose the palm kernel oil production process and the palm kernel oil extraction machines. The capacity is smaller, the equipment and process for palm kernel oil processing is relatively simple. Otherwise, the equipment and process for palm kernel oil processing is more complicated. So, when purchase the palm kernel oil equipment, it is better to have a clear idea about your expected capacity. In addition, Edible Oil Plant Cost for palm kernel oil is also closely related to the capacity, process and equipment selection.

Palm Kernel Oil Extraction Process

Palm Kernel Oil Extraction Process
Palm Kernel Oil Extraction Process

  • Palm Kernel Cleaning: Palm kernel cleaning is mainly to remove iron wire, stone, fiber and other impurities in palm kernel. These impurities are easy to damage the machine, especially the palm kernel oil press machine.
  • Palm Kernel Crushing: Generally, the palm kernel needs to be broken twice. The first time is to break out the palm kernel since it is relatively large and hard. First time crushing aims to speed up the oil yield. The second crushing makes palm kernel into smaller pieces so as to improve the oil production. 
  • Palm Kernel and Shell Separation: For palm kernel separation, both wet separation and dry separation are available. Adopting wet or dry separation method is mainly depending on the palm Kernel oil processing capacity, the cleanness of separation and the capital situation.
  • Palm Kernel Drying: Fresh palm kernel contains 20% water. For better storage, the water content of palm kernel needs to be reduced to less than 7%.
  • Palm Kernel Steaming and Frying: This process mainly has heating and steaming methods, which is conductive to produce more high quality palm kernel oil through destroying the cells by adjusting the water and moisture.
  • Palm Kernel Oil Pressing: Palm kernel oil expeller is same as the conventional screw oil press machine. By pressing, crude palm kernel oil is obtained.
  • Palm Kernel Oil Filtering: Crude palm kernel oil contains many impurities, which can be removed some by oil filter machines.
  • Palm Kernel Oil Refining: This process is to remove the unhealthy and useless impurities contained in the crude palm kernel oil to get higher quality oil for various uses.

Palm Kernel Oil Extraction Machines

According to above palm kernel oil production process, the basic equipment for palm kernel oil processing includes, cleaning machine, crushing machine, shell and nut separation machine, cooking or steaming machine, oil press machine, oil filter machine, oil refinery equipment, and etc. The price of these equipment varies from the capacity and quality.

Palm Kernel Oil Refining Equipment

The refining process of palm kernel oil is the same as that of other crude vegetable oils, which is divided into four steps: degumming, deacidification, decolorization and deodorization. Generally, according to the different processing capacity and customer requirements, refining equipment can be divided into: batch refining equipment, semi continuous refining equipment, full continuous refining equipment. So, how to choose the suitable oil refinery machine for your palm kernel oil processing. (Latest Project: 20TPD Palm Kernel Oil Refinery and Fractionation Plant Setup in Nigeria >>)

Generally, we suggest to choose the oil refining machine based on the actual palm kernel oil production capacity:
If the capacity is less than or equal to 20 tons/day, we suggest batch/intermittent refining
equipment;
If the capacity is more than 20 tons/day, we suggest semi continuous refining equipment;
If the capacity is more than or equal to 50 tons/day, we suggest full continuous refining equipment.

The main process of palm kernel fractionation is cooling, crystallization and separation. Palm kernel oil fractionation equipment can divide palm kernel oil into different melting point palm kernel oil, which can be used in different industries.
