How to extract palm kernel oil?

The production process of the palm kernel oil usually contains several steps: shell and kernel separation, crushing, cooking, oil pressing and filtering. Next, I will introduce these steps according to the processing process.

Small scale palm kernel oil production line

Step1. palm nuts’ shell and kernel separation

The palm nuts requires further processing to obtain the pure palm kernel. If you are a small family workshop, you can use the traditional method to obtain pure palm kernel, but if your production scale is larger, you need to consider to buy one set palm kernel cracker and separator.

Step2. crushing palm kernel

Because the separated whole palm kernel is too big to be easy to cook, so it need to be broken properly to facilitate cooking in the next process.

Step3. cooking palm kernel material

Cooking can not only soften the palm kernel, but also improve the oil yield and flavor of the finished oil. The machine used in this step is cooking machine.

Step4. pressing palm kernel material

After steaming and frying, the temperature and humidity of the material have reached the ideal pressing state. At this time, the palm kernel oil can be easily squeezed out by the mechanical force of the palm kernel oil press.

Step5. filtering the crude palm kernel oil

Pressed palm kernel oil may contain a small amount of impurities that make the color and flavor of the oil not good enough. After being filtered through a plate and frame filter, the quality of the oil can be improved and the market value of the palm kernel oil can be increased.
