How to choose suitable processing equipment for palm oil plants?

For palm oil plants, suitable processing equipment can save investment costs and improve economic efficiency. How to choose suitable processing equipment is a matter of great concern to palm oil plants’ investors. The following introduces you from the three perspectives of processing capacity, product standards and investment budget, the factors that need to be considered when choosing processing equipment:

1 Processing capacity

For palm oil mill plants with different processing capacity requirements, the equipment requirements are very different. For example, for a small family palm oil workshop with a processing capacity less than 10tpd basically only needs one palm oil press to meet production needs; for a small scale palm oil mill plant with a processing capacity more than 10tpd but less than 100tpd, it may need to be equipped with a standard palm oil production line, which includes fruit thresher and palm oil press and plate and frame filter; for a palm oil plant with a processing capacity more than 100tpd , it may need to be equipped with a lot of additional transposition equipment and loading station, etc.

2 Product standards

Palm oil processing machine and the product

Palm oil plants with different production standards will have different equipment and equipment. Processing plants with high requirements of production hygiene, finished products quality or residual oil rates often need to be equipped with more sophisticated instruments. For example, a small palm oil plant only needs to be equipped with a simple filter cloth to simply filter the pressed crude palm oil, while a standard palm oil mill plant generally chooses to be equipped with a plate and frame filter for more detailed filtering of the crude palm oil. The palm oil will also have a higher market value.

3 Investment budget

Investment budget is an important factor in determining the equipment configuration. This factor is directly related to the performance of the plant's equipment and the complexity of the unit, which in turn affects product quality and production efficiency. The investment budget is often directly proportional to the precision of the equipment, the complexity of the unit, and the quality of the finished product. If your budget is sufficient and the quality of the finished product is high, you can even consider equipping palm oil refining equipment to refine the crude palm oil to obtain higher market value and broader market space.
