What equipment does a small palm oil manufacturing plant include?

Palm oil processing equipment, from the initial fresh bunches to the final palm oil, requires professional technology to achieve the best possible oil yield and higher quality oil for more efficient production. Based on the growth characteristics of processing capacity of the customer, and taking into account the return on investment, Henan Glory Company have designed small scale palm oil production line and the equipment included in small palm oil manufacturing plant involves such as sterilizer, thresher, digester, palm oil press,and clarification equipment.

1. Sterilizer: The main equipment in the sterilization section is the sterilizer, which inhibits the enzymatic activity through high temperature and prevents the increase of fatty acids to ensure the quality of the crude oil. In this process, there are also transfer equipment such as winches and scrapers. According to the processing capacity and process, the sterilization tank can be divided into boiling sterilization, steaming sterilization and vertical steam sterilization.

2. Thresher: The second step in the process is the palm fruit thresher, which separates the palm fruits from the fruit bunches. This machine is highly efficient and cost-effective, making it ideal for small-scale operations. With a capacity of 1-2 tons per hour, it is suitable for small farms or home-based production. The fruit removal rate can reach 98%.

3.Digester: The digesting section mainly uses the digester, which is designed to crush the palm fruit in advance to reduce the working pressure of the press and improve the working efficiency.

4. Presser: The 500kg/h single screw palm oil press is the next essential piece of equipment. Designed to extract oil from palm fruits with low residual oil rates, Henan Glory palm oil press is available in both diesel and electric motor versions, making it adaptable to different power supply conditions. It is particularly well-suited for small-scale producers who need a reliable and efficient machine for oil extraction. The press is easy to install and operate, and its durable construction, featuring wear-resistant alloy steel screws, ensures a long lifespan with minimal maintenance. Besides, for those looking for higher efficiency and continuous production, the 1-2tph double screw palm oil press is an excellent option. This press offers a higher oil extraction rate and is suitable for slightly larger small-scale operations. It maintains the integrity of the palm kernels while ensuring a low residual oil rate, making it a popular choice for producers aiming to maximize output without compromising quality.

5. Oil clarification section: After the oil extraction process, for the filtration stage, the main equipment is the rotary vibrating screen, which is used to clean up the large and light debris. The oil clarification tank is used to remove the heavier magazines such as stones. Plate and frame filter can be used to remove the fine impurities. Finally, there is the vacuum drying system, which is mainly used to remove the water from the crude oil so that the palm oil can have a longer shelf life.

In conclusion, the above list of palm oil processing equipment is suitable for small palm oil manufacturing plant. The combination of a palm fruit thresher, single or double screw palm oil press, vibrating screen, and plate frame filter provides a complete solution for small-scale palm oil manufacturing. The equipment not only ensure high-quality oil output but also offer scalability and low maintenance, making them ideal for small farms and home-based producers.
