1 TPD Small Palm Oil Refinery: Power, Space and Installation Requirements

 When planning a small palm oil refinery, equipment price is only one part of the investment decision.

Before requesting a quotation, buyers should also understand the electrical requirement, building space, manufacturing schedule and site preparation needed for installation.

For a reference 1 TPD small palm oil refinery, the main planning figures are approximately 26.05 kW installed power, a 15 m × 6 m × 6 m building, about 90 working days for manufacturing and pre-assembly, and around 60 days for on-site installation.

These figures provide a starting point for project planning. The final configuration should be confirmed according to the actual crude oil, daily processing volume, site conditions, utilities and target products.

1. How much power does a 1 TPD palm oil refinery need?

A reference 1 TPD palm oil refinery has an installed load of about 26.05 kW.

The figure covers the main electrical equipment, including:

• Vacuum system
• Air compressor
• Hot-oil circulation pumps
• Kettle agitators
• Feed and product pumps
• Control and instrumentation

The installed load should not be confused with actual operating consumption. Not every motor operates at full load at the same time, so actual electricity consumption during operation is lower.

If an optional 500 kg/h oil expeller with integrated filter press is added, approximately 18.5 kW of additional installed power is required.

2. Electric heating or thermal-oil heating?

A 1 TPD small palm oil refinery can use two heating methods: electric heating or thermal-oil heating.

Electric heating can be straightforward for a site with a stable three-phase power supply.

For locations where the electrical grid is weak or unreliable, thermal-oil heating can be considered. It provides process heat through a heat-transfer-oil system rather than relying entirely on a stable electrical feed for the heating process.

This is one of the configuration points that should be discussed before equipment manufacturing.

3. How much building space is required?

The reference layout uses a building of approximately:

15 m × 6 m × 6 m

This corresponds to roughly 90 m² of floor space.

The covered bay can accommodate the main refining kettles, heat source, vacuum system and air compressor. Depending on the site, some auxiliary equipment such as the cooling tower and vacuum pump may be positioned outdoors.

A standard dimension should not automatically be treated as the final building drawing. The actual equipment arrangement should be checked against the buyer's site.

4. How long does the project take?

There are two different project periods.

Factory manufacturing

Manufacturing and pre-assembly take approximately 90 working days in the reference configuration.

On-site installation

On-site installation is approximately 60 days, including installation supervision, commissioning and operator training.

However, this schedule depends partly on whether the buyer has completed the required site preparation.

Foundations, lifting equipment, local welding and electrical work are normally part of the buyer's preparation scope.

Having these ready when the engineer arrives can help keep the installation schedule on track.

5. What should the buyer prepare?

Before installation, the site should be checked for:

Power

A three-phase supply suitable for approximately 26 kW installed load should be available for the reference refining unit.

Water

A small start-up water tank of approximately 2 m³ is referenced, together with a cooling pond or cooling tower.

Building

A covered area of approximately 15 m × 6 m × 6 m should be planned for the reference configuration.

Heating

The project should determine whether electric heating or thermal-oil heating is more appropriate.

Refining chemicals

The process requires materials such as caustic soda, phosphoric acid and bleaching earth.

Civil and installation support

Foundations, crane or hoisting equipment, local welding and electrical work should be prepared before installation.

6. Is a 1 TPD refinery suitable for a small business?

A 1 TPD batch refinery can be considered when the project has an oil throughput of around one ton per day and is not yet ready for continuous-scale production.

Its relatively compact layout can also be useful when land or building space is limited.

Another advantage of batch processing is flexibility. Different crude oils can be processed in separate batches, depending on the equipment configuration and production plan.

On the other hand, businesses handling larger and more stable volumes may need to evaluate semi-continuous or fully continuous refining systems.

The decision should therefore be based on more than nominal capacity. Raw material availability, target refined products, utilities, site conditions, operating pattern and future expansion should all be considered.

7. What happens if the power supply is unreliable?

This is an important issue for many small refinery projects.

A stable three-phase supply is assumed for the 26 kW reference configuration. Where voltage dips or power interruptions are common, the project may need a suitable stabilisation or generator solution, or the heating system may be configured around thermal-oil heating.

The exact generator and stabiliser rating should be confirmed according to the complete equipment configuration and local electrical conditions.

8. What should be confirmed before ordering?

Before requesting the final configuration, buyers should prepare at least:

• Crude oil type
• Expected daily oil volume
• Building dimensions
• Local power condition
• Water availability
• Target refined-oil specification
• Heating preference or power limitations
• Installation conditions

This information allows the supplier to check the connected load, heating method, equipment layout and installation schedule more accurately.

Conclusion

For a 1 TPD small palm oil refinery, early project planning should include more than equipment price.

A reference configuration requires about 26.05 kW installed power, approximately 15 × 6 × 6 m of building space, around 90 working days for factory manufacturing, and approximately 60 days for on-site installation.

These are project-planning reference figures rather than universal values. The final equipment configuration should be confirmed according to the actual project conditions.

Palm Kernel Shell Separation Is Poor: 7 Causes and How to Fix It

Poor palm kernel shell separation can result in kernels being mixed with shells, unstable kernel purity and increased material loss.

However, the separator itself is not always the first thing that should be changed.

Cracking conditions, kernel moisture, airflow, kernel size, feed cleanliness, component wear and feeding rate can all affect the final separation result.

This guide explains seven common causes and what to check before upgrading the equipment.

1. Improper Palm Kernel Cracker Gap

The cracking stage prepares palm kernels for shell separation.

The cracker needs to break the shell sufficiently so that the kernel can be released without causing excessive kernel breakage.

If the gap is too wide, some nuts may remain incompletely cracked.

If the gap is too narrow, the kernels may be over-cracked and become fine particles.

Both conditions make downstream separation more difficult.

What to do

Stop the machine and inspect the cracker gap.

The adjustment should match the size and hardness of the current palm kernel batch and follow the equipment's specified operating requirements.

2. High Moisture Content

Moisture affects how palm kernels move through the processing line.

When kernels contain excessive moisture, they can clump together and feed unevenly.

This creates an unstable material flow through the separator.

Very dry kernels can have the opposite problem: they may become brittle and produce more fine particles during cracking and separation.

What to do

Check the kernel condition before feeding.

Proper drying should allow the kernels to flow freely without excessive clumping or unnecessary breakage.

The appropriate moisture condition should be evaluated according to the actual raw material and process.

3. Inadequate Airflow

Airflow is one of the key operating variables in a gravity-and-air palm kernel shell separator.

The basic principle is that kernels fall by gravity while lighter shells are carried away by airflow.

If airflow is too weak, shells can remain with the kernel stream.

If airflow is too strong, kernels may be carried into the shell outlet.

What to do

Check fan operation, fan speed and airflow distribution.

Adjust the air separation conditions according to the actual material and the equipment design rather than using a fixed airflow value for every installation.

4. Wide Kernel Size Distribution

Kernel size can vary between batches and between different palm oil mill sources.

Large and small kernels do not always respond to the same cracking and separation settings in the same way.

Small kernels may become over-cracked, while larger kernels may remain partially cracked.

What to do

Consider using a palm kernel grading screen before cracking.

The grading screen separates kernels into more uniform size groups, allowing the cracker and separator to operate under more consistent conditions.

This can be especially useful when raw material comes from multiple sources.

5. Fiber and Foreign Material Contamination

Palm nuts entering the cracking system may contain residual fiber, stones, metal pieces or other foreign materials.

These materials can:

• Block separator channels
• Disturb airflow
• Damage internal components
• Reduce separation stability

What to do

Keep the palm nut feed as clean as possible before cracking.

Removing residual fiber and foreign materials helps protect the equipment and maintain more consistent airflow.

6. Worn or Damaged Components

The blades, sieves and cyclone-related components of a separator are exposed to continuous mechanical and material impact.

Over time, wear can reduce separation performance.

For example, worn blades can contribute to increased kernel breakage, while damaged sieves may allow unsuitable material to pass through.

What to do

Include these components in routine inspection and maintenance.

When wear becomes significant, replace the affected components according to the equipment requirements.

Regular inspection can help prevent gradual quality deterioration from becoming a major separation problem.

7. Uneven or Excessive Feeding

Even a properly adjusted separator can perform poorly when it is overloaded.

Too much material entering the separation zone at one time can disturb airflow and reduce separation stability.

Uneven feeding can create similar problems because the separator is constantly moving between different loading conditions.

What to do

Keep the feed rate steady and within the intended capacity of the equipment.

A conveyor or hopper with controlled feeding can help maintain a more consistent material flow.

When Should You Consider Upgrading the Separator?

If the seven factors above have been checked but the separation result remains poor, the separator design itself may need to be reconsidered.

Palm kernels and shells have relatively similar physical characteristics, which can make separation challenging.

A gravity-only system may have limitations under certain raw-material conditions.

A gravity-plus-air separation system uses two mechanisms:

Gravity separation:
Kernels fall downward because of their greater effective weight.

Air separation:
Lighter shells are carried by airflow toward the shell discharge system.

Glory Oiltech's palm kernel and shell separating machine uses this combined principle and has a stated separation rate of up to 95% under the corresponding equipment conditions.

A grading screen can also be added when the incoming kernel size varies significantly.

How Does Shell Separation Affect Palm Kernel Oil Extraction?

Shell separation is an upstream step in palm kernel oil processing.

If excessive shell remains in the kernel stream, it can introduce unwanted solids into the extraction process.

Fiber and moisture can also affect downstream processing and storage conditions.

For this reason, shell separation should be evaluated together with cracking, grading, drying and feeding rather than treated as a completely independent machine.

A Practical Troubleshooting Sequence

If palm kernel shell separation is poor, check the process in this order:

1. Cracker gap
2. Kernel moisture
3. Airflow
4. Kernel size distribution
5. Fiber and foreign materials
6. Internal component condition
7. Feeding rate

Try to make one controlled change at a time and record the result.

This makes it easier to determine whether the adjustment actually improved separation.

If the result remains unsatisfactory after these checks, then evaluate whether the existing separator design is suitable for the actual raw material and required separation performance.

Glory Oiltech Chairman Zheng Yongye Reappointed Vice Chairman of the Nigeria-China Commercial Enterprise Association (2026–2029)

Glory Oiltech Chairman Zheng Yongye was reappointed Vice Chairman of the Nigeria-China Commercial Enterprise Association (NCCEA) Fifth-term Council for the 2026–2029 term.

The Letter of Appointment was presented in Lagos, Nigeria, on September 19, 2026.

Mr. Zheng previously served as Vice Chairman of the NCCEA Fourth-term Council, beginning in 2023.

About the Appointment

The appointment continues Mr. Zheng’s involvement with the Nigeria-China Commercial Enterprise Association.

The NCCEA is a Lagos-registered industry organization focused on promoting bilateral trade and commercial exchange between Nigeria and China.

Its Fifth-term Council for 2026–2029 brings together business leaders from both countries across manufacturing, agriculture, infrastructure and trade.

For Glory Oiltech, the appointment comes alongside an established local presence in Nigeria.

Glory Oiltech’s Nigeria Presence

Through Henan Doing Machinery Nig. Ltd, Doing Holdings has maintained a Nigeria presence since 2019.

The local operation includes a 1,000 sqm warehouse in Ogun State.

The company states that its local team supports edible oil and palm oil processing projects with:

• Equipment installation
• Commissioning
• Operator training
• Spare-parts service

This local infrastructure is relevant to the practical side of industrial equipment projects.

A processing plant does not become operational simply because the equipment arrives at the destination. Installation, commissioning, operator training and spare-parts availability may all become part of the implementation process.

Why Local Support Matters in Equipment Projects

When evaluating an international equipment supplier, buyers often begin with machine specifications and quotations.

For example, a palm oil processing project may require consideration of:

• Fresh fruit bunch availability
• Required processing capacity
• Equipment configuration
• Power supply
• Workshop conditions
• Installation requirements
• Crude oil filtration
• Spare parts
• Commissioning and operator training

The supplier’s after-sales structure can therefore be another point to verify.

For a customer in Nigeria, practical questions may include:

Where are spare parts supplied from?

Who will provide installation guidance?

Is commissioning support available?

Can operators receive technical training?

Who will handle technical communication after delivery?

These questions do not replace equipment evaluation, but they can help buyers understand the complete project support structure.

Glory Oiltech and Edible Oil Processing

Glory Oiltech (Henan Glory) is a subsidiary of Doing Holdings and a Chinese manufacturer of edible oil processing equipment and complete oil processing solutions.

Its product portfolio includes palm oil processing machines, palm kernel oil extraction equipment, palm oil refinery and fractionation equipment, refining and dewaxing lines and equipment for other oilseeds.

The company states that it provides end-to-end project services covering engineering design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning and after-sales support.

Its equipment and project solutions are supplied to edible oil producers and agribusinesses in international markets.

Focus on Nigeria and West Africa

Nigeria is an important market for palm oil and edible oil processing projects.

For equipment buyers, local market knowledge and service arrangements can be useful factors when evaluating suppliers.

Glory Oiltech’s Nigeria operation, including the Ogun State warehouse and local support team, provides a local point of contact for customers working on projects in Nigeria and the wider West African market.

The company’s Chairman, Zheng Yongye, will continue serving as Vice Chairman of the NCCEA Fifth-term Council through September 2029.

Glory Oiltech Successfully Shipped Two Complete 1TPH Palm Oil Press Lines to Angola

 Glory Oiltech (Henan Glory) completed the shipment of two complete 1TPH palm oil press lines to a long-term distributor partner in Angola on September 7, 2026.

Each line is designed to process 1 ton of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) per hour and includes fruit threshing, palm oil pressing, pre-filtration and final filtration.

The equipment was factory-tested, quality-inspected and checked against the packing list before dispatch.

1TPH Palm Oil Press Line Configuration

Each complete line includes four core machines and one centralized control unit.

Palm Fruit Threshing Machine

The motor-type palm fruit threshing machine separates fresh palm fruits from the bunches and prepares the fruits for the pressing stage.

1TPH Double-Screw Palm Oil Press

The double-screw palm oil press extracts crude palm oil from the threshed fruits.

The specified processing capacity is 1 ton of fresh fruit bunches per hour.

Vibrating Screen

After pressing, the crude palm oil passes through a vibrating screen for pre-filtration.

The screen helps remove fiber and larger impurities before the oil reaches the final filtration stage.

Hydraulic Plate & Frame Filter

The hydraulic plate & frame filter performs the final filtration stage to remove finer solids.

For this shipment, the filter is equipped with a gear oil pump and an independent control box.

Centralized Control Box

The centralized control unit controls the palm fruit threshing machine, double-screw palm oil press and vibrating screen from a single panel.

Why Was Motor-Type Equipment Selected for Angola?

The end-user’s site in Angola is already equipped with diesel generators.

Therefore, motor-type machines were selected so that the processing line could connect directly to the existing generator power system.

The voltage specifications for the shipment are:

• 380V three-phase, 50Hz for the main motor-driven equipment
• 220V single-phase, 50Hz for the control systems

This is one reason why buyers should provide their actual site power conditions when requesting a palm oil processing equipment quotation.

Factory Testing Before Shipment

Before dispatch, the equipment went through several pre-shipment checks.

The palm fruit threshing machine, double-screw palm oil press and vibrating screen were tested under power to verify mechanical operation and electrical connections.

The hydraulic plate & frame filter was pressure-tested to check hydraulic system integrity and sealing.

The equipment also underwent dimensional and visual inspection.

Electrical connections were checked against the required voltage specifications.

A completeness check was then carried out against the official packing list to verify the machines, accessories, standard tools, control boxes and other components.

The equipment was packed in wooden crates to help protect the main units during long-distance sea transportation.

Shipping Timeline

The equipment production and shipment followed this timeline:

August 2026: Equipment manufacturing and assembly completed.

Late August 2026: Factory run-testing, quality inspection and completeness checks completed.

September 7, 2026: Equipment packed and dispatched from the factory.

Estimated sea freight: 30–45 days from the Chinese port to Angola.

What Should You Confirm Before Ordering a 1TPH Palm Oil Press Line?

For a small palm oil processing project, the stated capacity is only one part of the quotation.

Before placing an order, buyers should confirm whether the 1TPH capacity refers to fresh fruit bunches, whether the equipment will use grid power or a generator, whether a complete line or individual machines are required, and what level of crude palm oil filtration is needed.

Site conditions are also important.

Before installation, check:

• Available installation space
• Foundation and floor conditions
• Power supply and cable routing
• Crude oil collection area
• Production by-product areas
• Equipment spacing and maintenance access

It is useful to confirm the equipment layout with the supplier before construction so that machine spacing and material flow do not need to be changed later.

What Should Be Prepared Before the First Trial Run?

Before introducing fresh fruit bunches into the processing line, the equipment should be properly installed and securely fixed.

Electrical connections should match the specified voltage, and lubrication points should be checked.

The necessary raw materials and receiving containers should also be prepared.

A no-load check should be completed before the first processing trial.

What Should You Check When the Equipment Arrives?

For overseas equipment shipments, the packing list is an important reference.

After receiving the equipment, check:

• Machine bodies
• Motors
• Control boxes
• Pumps
• Spare parts
• Fasteners
• Electrical components

If visible damage or missing parts are found, photograph the affected items and report them to the supplier promptly with the relevant packing-list information.

For a palm oil project in Angola or another African market, these preparations can make installation and commissioning more straightforward.

20 TPD Palm Oil Refinery in Cameroon: Batch vs. Semi-Continuous

Planning a 20 TPD palm oil refinery in Cameroon? One of the key decisions before selecting equipment is whether to use a batch refinery or a semi-continuous refinery.

At this capacity, the practical comparison is generally between these two configurations rather than a full-continuous refinery.

The important point is that the final choice should not be made from capacity alone. CPO supply, production schedule, crude oil type, refined-oil requirements, utilities, site conditions and future expansion plans can all affect the appropriate configuration.

What Does Semi-Continuous Mean for a 20 TPD Refinery?

A semi-continuous refinery combines batch-operated stages with a continuous section.

In the configuration described for a 20 TPD project, degumming, deacidification and bleaching can be operated in batches, while deodorization is carried out continuously through a deodorizing tower.

This is different from a full-continuous refinery where all stages would operate continuously.

Glory Oiltech (Henan Glory)'s current refinery range provides a useful product-design reference:

• Batch systems: 1–20 TPD
• Semi-continuous systems: 5–30 TPD
• Full-continuous systems: from 30 TPD

These ranges are product-design references rather than universal industry standards.

Therefore, a 20 TPD plant can be considered for either batch or semi-continuous refining depending on its actual requirements.

Batch vs. Semi-Continuous: What Is Different?

Refining Stages

A batch refinery performs degumming, deacidification, bleaching and deodorization batch by batch in tanks.

A semi-continuous refinery can operate degumming, deacidification and bleaching in batches while using continuous deodorization.

Production Schedule

If the plant will operate with changing production schedules or process different crude oils in rotation, the flexibility of batch operation can be relevant.

A semi-continuous configuration is better suited to a more regular production schedule because its continuous deodorization section operates as part of an integrated process.

Deodorization

The deodorization section is one of the clearest differences.

A batch system uses a deodorization tank.

A semi-continuous system uses a continuous deodorizing tower.

Heating and Heat Utilization

For a 20 TPD batch refinery, the thermal oil heating option is applicable.

A semi-continuous configuration can use a plate heat exchanger to transfer heat from high-temperature refined oil after deodorization to incoming cold oil.

This is part of the different heat-utilization approach between the two configurations.

FFA Recovery

If FFA recovery is required, this should be confirmed during project planning.

A dedicated FFA recovery system is not part of the standard batch configuration described for this refinery.

A semi-continuous configuration can include an FFA capturing and recovery system during continuous deodorization.

Plant Arrangement

A batch refinery has a relatively compact equipment arrangement with lower building requirements for a small-scale refinery.

A semi-continuous system requires a more integrated arrangement to connect the batch and continuous sections and their supporting systems.

How Should You Choose the Configuration?

Before selecting equipment, look at the actual project.

1. CPO Supply

Will CPO be available regularly, or will supply vary during the year?

Raw-material availability affects how consistently the refinery can operate.

2. Production Schedule

Will the refinery operate occasionally, by batch, or on a regular daily schedule?

The operating schedule should match the refinery configuration.

3. Crude Oil Types

Will the plant process only palm oil, or may different crude oils be processed at different times?

Different raw materials may require greater flexibility in production and process control.

4. Refined-Oil Requirements

What quality specifications should the refined palm oil meet?

Product requirements can affect the refining process and equipment configuration.

5. Utilities

Check what electricity, steam, water, heating and cooling resources are available at the site.

Utility availability can affect the heating and supporting systems selected for the refinery.

6. Site Conditions

How much space is available for the refinery and supporting equipment?

Available space can influence equipment arrangement and plant layout.

7. Future Expansion

Is the plant expected to remain at 20 TPD, or could production increase later?

Future plans should be considered before finalizing the equipment configuration.

Capacity Alone Does Not Determine the Configuration

Project experience also shows why refinery configuration should not be determined by capacity alone.

Glory Oiltech (Henan Glory) has supplied a 10 TPD batch-type palm oil refinery and fractionation project in Kenya.

A customer in Venezuela purchased 30 TPD semi-continuous refining equipment for palm oil and soybean oil.

For a 20 TPD palm oil refinery in Cameroon, the practical next step is therefore to match the configuration with the actual project conditions.

What Information Should You Prepare?

Before requesting a quotation, prepare:

• CPO characteristics
• Expected production schedule
• Refined-oil quality requirements
• Available utilities
• Site space
• Automation requirements
• Future expansion plans

These details can affect the final refinery configuration and equipment selection.

Final Consideration

For a 20 TPD palm oil refinery in Cameroon, both batch and semi-continuous configurations can be considered.

The choice depends on the production schedule, CPO supply, refining requirements and future plans for the plant.

Instead of choosing a configuration based only on capacity, evaluate the complete project conditions first.

Sell CPO or Build a Palm Oil Refinery? How to Make the Right Investment Decision

If you already operate a palm oil mill and produce crude palm oil (CPO), downstream refining may eventually become an investment option.

But should you continue selling CPO, or should you build a palm oil refinery?

The answer depends on the stage of your business.

A refinery can create an opportunity to capture more value from CPO, but it also requires additional investment, utilities, operation, maintenance and management. Therefore, the first question should not simply be whether refining is better than selling CPO.

The more useful question is:

Is your existing CPO business ready for downstream investment?

When Should You Consider a Palm Oil Refinery?

A palm oil refinery is worth considering when you have both a reliable CPO supply and a clear opportunity to sell refined products.

Several factors should be evaluated together.

Stable CPO Supply

Your existing palm oil mill should be able to provide a reasonably stable supply of CPO for downstream processing.

Consider how much CPO your mill can produce and whether the supply remains relatively stable throughout the year.

You should also consider whether production is expected to increase or whether additional CPO will need to be purchased from outside suppliers.

Downstream Market

Having CPO available is not enough.

Before investing in a refinery, you should identify customers, sales channels or a target market for the refined products.

If refined-oil demand has not yet been validated, investing in additional processing capacity can introduce unnecessary market risk.

Value-Added Potential

Refining involves additional equipment, utilities, operation and maintenance.

The additional value from refined products therefore needs to justify these extra costs.

The investment should be evaluated as a complete business case rather than based only on the potential selling price of refined oil.

Business Development

Some CPO producers want to move beyond bulk CPO sales and develop downstream products.

In this situation, refining can become part of a broader business-development strategy.

However, the company also needs to be prepared for the additional management, sales and operational requirements.

When Is Selling CPO Still a Practical Option?

Building a refinery does not have to be the immediate next step after establishing a CPO mill.

Selling CPO may still be more suitable when the existing business is still being developed.

For example, the priority may currently be to stabilize production, raw material supply and existing operations.

The same applies when refined-oil sales have not been confirmed, the expected added value is limited, or available capital has more immediate uses within the existing CPO operation.

In these situations, the business can continue developing its current operation and reconsider downstream refining when the investment case becomes stronger.

What Should You Do Before Investing?

Once the business case for downstream refining becomes clearer, do not immediately select a refinery model.

Start with the products you want to produce.

You may want to sell refined palm oil to bulk buyers or packaged edible oil markets. Depending on the target market, you may also consider further fractionation to produce palm olein and palm stearin.

The target products will influence the refinery configuration.

Determine Capacity From the Project

Refinery capacity should be determined from the actual project rather than simply selecting a standard capacity offered by a supplier.

Consider:

How much CPO can your existing mill supply?
How stable is the supply?
Is CPO production expected to increase?
Will additional CPO be purchased?
How much refined product does your target market require?

The selected capacity should reflect available CPO, expected utilization and market demand.

Glory Oiltech (Henan Glory) has palm oil refining and fractionation project experience across different capacities, including a 5 TPD palm oil physical refinery plant in Indonesia, a 100 TPD palm oil refinery and fractionation plant in Kenya, and a 5 TPD palm oil refinery and fractionation plant in Nigeria.

These projects also demonstrate why refinery capacity needs to be evaluated according to the actual project requirements.

Compare the Complete Project, Not Just Equipment Prices

When discussing a refinery project with a supplier, avoid asking only:

“How much does a palm oil refinery cost?”

Instead, provide your actual business information and ask for a project-based evaluation.

Useful questions include:

Is the proposed capacity suitable for my CPO supply?
What refined products can the proposed refinery produce?
What existing infrastructure can be reused?
What utilities are required?
What equipment and services are included?
What is excluded from the quotation?
What information is still needed to finalize the proposal?

This makes it easier to compare solutions according to the needs of your business.

What Should a Palm Oil Refinery Quotation Include?

A quotation should be reviewed according to its scope.

Check whether the price covers only the main refining equipment or also includes supporting systems and project services.

Depending on the project, you may need to clarify storage, utilities, installation, commissioning, piping, electrical work, transportation, spare parts and after-sales support.

Most importantly, compare quotations with the same project scope.

A lower equipment price does not necessarily represent a lower total project investment if important requirements are excluded.

Physical Refinery or Refinery With Fractionation?

A physical refinery is designed to refine crude palm oil into refined products.

Adding fractionation provides a further separation step and can produce products such as palm olein and palm stearin.

The appropriate configuration depends on the products you plan to sell and the requirements of your target market.

What Information Should You Prepare?

You do not need to have every project detail finalized before speaking with a supplier.

However, it is useful to prepare:

Current CPO source and approximate supply
Target refined products
Expected market or sales channels
Available site and utilities
Existing storage facilities
Expected project timeline

This information can help the supplier understand your project and identify which details still need to be confirmed.

Final Consideration

If you already produce CPO, the decision to build a palm oil refinery should be based on whether the downstream opportunity is strong enough to justify the additional investment and operation.

If your business is ready, define the target products, determine the capacity from the actual CPO supply and market demand, and compare complete project scopes before selecting a refinery solution.

If you are still developing your CPO business or have not yet confirmed the downstream opportunity, continuing to sell CPO and reassessing refining later can also be considered.

Glory Oiltech (Henan Glory) can help CPO producers evaluate a suitable palm oil refining solution based on actual CPO supply, target products, capacity and project conditions.

Palm Fruit Threshing Problems: Why Do Fruits Remain Attached?

When palm fruit bunches come out of a palm fruit threshing machine with too many fruits still attached, the immediate assumption is often that the thresher needs a higher drum speed or stronger mechanical action.

In reality, unstripped fruits can have several causes.

The condition of the bunches before threshing, the time between sterilization and threshing, feeding stability, raw material differences and the condition of the machine can all affect fruit detachment.

That is why troubleshooting should start with the complete operating situation rather than focusing only on the palm fruit threshing machine.

What Causes Unstripped Fruits During Palm Fruit Threshing?

Several factors can produce similar threshing symptoms.

1. Inadequate sterilization

If palm fruit bunches have not been adequately sterilized, the fruits may remain firmly attached to the bunches.

In this situation, increasing the threshing intensity may not solve the real problem because the material entering the thresher has not been properly prepared.

For reference, Glory Oiltech uses steam sterilization at 145°C for 60–120 minutes, depending on fruit maturity and equipment design. Different sterilizer types can require different cycle times, so this should be treated as a reference rather than a universal setting.

When unstripped fruits increase, checking sterilization conditions should therefore come before making major changes to the thresher.

2. Too much time between sterilization and threshing

Material flow also matters.

Even when sterilization has been adequate, a long delay before threshing can affect fruit detachment. Sterilized bunches should not be left accumulating unnecessarily before they enter the threshing stage.

A stable flow between sterilization and threshing makes it easier to maintain consistent operating conditions.

This is also why sterilization and threshing should be considered together when designing or troubleshooting a palm oil processing line.

3. Excessive or unstable feeding

A palm fruit thresher needs an appropriate and stable feed.

When too much material enters the drum at once, the threshing action can become less effective. Uneven feeding can cause similar problems because the machine load keeps changing.

A simple observation can help identify this cause.

If the amount of unstripped fruit increases when the feeding rate becomes heavier, correct the feeding condition before changing other machine settings.

Equipment selection should also consider the complete material flow instead of looking only at the nominal capacity of the thresher.

For reference, Glory Oiltech's simple-type palm fruit thresher is designed for 1–2 tons of palm fruit bunches per hour, while its drum-type models cover 1–15 tons per hour.

The appropriate machine therefore needs to match the actual processing scale, feeding condition and incoming FFB.

Raw Material Can Affect Threshing Results

The incoming palm fruit bunches are not always identical.

Differences in bunch size, maturity and physical condition can affect how readily fruits detach.

This is especially important when the problem occurs mainly with particular batches.

If one batch produces more unstripped fruits than another, continuously increasing the machine intensity may not be the best approach. Instead, compare the raw material condition and operating records.

Keeping the main operating conditions stable makes these differences easier to identify.

When Should You Inspect the Threshing Machine?

If sterilization, waiting time and feeding conditions appear normal but unstripped fruits continue to occur, then the palm fruit threshing machine itself should be inspected.

Relevant components should be checked for:

Wear
Damage
Looseness
Incorrect adjustment
Relevant clearances, where applicable

A worn or incorrectly adjusted component can weaken the mechanical action used to detach fruits.

If a component is simply incorrectly adjusted, adjustment may solve the problem. If it is badly worn or damaged, replacement may be required.

It is better to make one controlled change at a time where practical. Changing feeding rate, drum speed and component adjustment simultaneously makes it difficult to determine which change actually affected the result.

What About Drum Speed?

Drum speed should be treated as a machine-specific parameter.

For example, Glory Oiltech's simple-type palm fruit thresher operates at 480 r/min. This is a reference for that corresponding machine model, not a universal drum-speed standard for all palm fruit threshers.

Using a speed value from another machine without considering its design can therefore lead to misleading conclusions.

How Should Threshing Performance Be Measured?

A measurable result is more useful than simply saying that threshing performance is “good” or “poor.”

A practical project-specific indicator is:

Unstripped fruit rate = Weight of unstripped fruit ÷ Total fruit/bunch material evaluated × 100%

The same evaluation method should be used when comparing different tests.

Record:

Amount of material evaluated
Amount of unstripped material
Raw material condition
Sterilization conditions
Approximate waiting time
Feeding condition
Machine operating conditions

This makes it easier to determine whether a change actually improved the result.

Glory Oiltech's simple-type palm fruit thresher has a fruit stripping rate of up to 98%, while its drum-type model can achieve over 99%. These figures apply to the corresponding equipment models and should be used as reference values rather than universal industry standards.

What Information Should You Give an Equipment Supplier?

If the problem continues after basic checks, avoid sending only a message such as “the thresher leaves too many fruits.”

The supplier will be able to assess the situation more effectively if you provide operating information.

Useful information includes:

Type and condition of incoming FFB
Processing capacity or actual feeding rate
Sterilization method and actual conditions
Approximate time between sterilization and threshing
Current machine model and operating conditions
Drum speed, if available
Recent changes, repairs or component replacements
Photos or videos of the unstripped bunches
Measured unstripped-fruit rate, if available
Adjustments already tried and their results

This information helps separate an upstream problem from a machine problem.

A Practical Troubleshooting Sequence

When unstripped fruits appear, a useful sequence is:

Step 1: Check sterilization.

Step 2: Check the time between sterilization and threshing.

Step 3: Check feeding rate and feeding stability.

Step 4: Compare the condition of different FFB batches.

Step 5: Inspect threshing components.

Step 6: Make one controlled adjustment at a time.

Step 7: Measure the result before and after the adjustment.

This approach is generally more informative than immediately increasing drum speed.

Palm Oil Processing Projects as Practical References

Glory Oiltech's documented project experience includes a 2 TPH small-scale palm oil mill in Nigeria, completed on May 23, 2025, and a 5 TPH automatic small palm oil mill in Liberia, completed on April 1, 2024.

These projects provide practical references for looking at sterilization, threshing and the wider palm oil processing line as connected stages.

The company provides palm oil processing equipment and solutions, including palm fruit sterilizers and palm fruit threshers.

Final Takeaway

Unstripped fruits after palm fruit threshing do not automatically mean that the palm fruit threshing machine has failed.

The cause may be related to sterilization, the time before threshing, feeding conditions, raw material differences, machine operation or component condition.

The most practical approach is to identify the limiting factor first, make controlled changes and measure the result.

If you are planning a new palm oil processing line or troubleshooting an existing threshing system, Glory Oiltech can provide equipment selection, technical guidance, commissioning and after-sales support based on the actual processing conditions.

Small-Scale vs Industrial Palm Oil Mill: A Complete Decision Guide for Investors

 

Choosing the right processing scale is the single most important decision when you invest in a palm oil mill. Get it right and your mill runs near capacity, your cost per tonne stays low, and your profit grows steadily. Get it wrong and you end up with expensive equipment sitting idle while you keep paying for labour, power, maintenance and loan interest.

In this guide we compare small-scale and industrial palm oil mills across the factors that actually affect your return: capacity, FFB supply, equipment, utilities, labour, investment and expansion potential. It is written for investors, plantation owners and food processing businesses who want a practical answer rather than a sales pitch.

Why the Scale Decision Comes Before Everything Else

Most buyers start with a price list. That is the wrong starting point. The correct question is not "what does a palm oil mill cost?" but "how much fruit can I feed it, every day, all year round?"

A palm oil mill is only profitable when it runs close to its designed capacity. The equipment, the building, the utilities and the labour are all sized for a certain throughput. If you buy a mill that is too large for your fruit supply, you pay industrial-level fixed costs on small-scale output. That is the fastest way to lose money in this business.

Small-Scale Palm Oil Mills (0.5 - 5 TPH)

A small-scale mill processes roughly 0.5 to 5 tonnes of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) per hour. It is compact, mechanically simpler and designed around a local supply chain.

Who it fits:
- First-time investors entering the palm oil business.
- Plantation owners who want to process their own fruit instead of selling it cheap.
- Family businesses and cooperatives serving a local market.
- Buyers in areas where FFB is available but not in industrial volumes.

Advantages:
- Lower entry investment and faster payback.
- Small, easy-to-train operating team.
- Simple maintenance, widely available spare parts.
- The line can often be expanded module by module as your supply grows.

Limits:
- Lower throughput, so income is capped by local demand.
- Limited automation, so some steps remain manual.
- Not designed for export-scale contracts.

Industrial Palm Oil Mills (10 - 120 TPH)

An industrial mill processes 10 to 120 tonnes per hour. It is not simply a bigger machine - it is a different kind of operation.

Who it fits:
- Companies with a coordinated FFB supply network (own estates plus contracted smallholders).
- Operations targeting regional distribution or export.
- Investors with access to significant capital and technical staff.

Advantages:
- High throughput and low cost per tonne at full capacity.
- Advanced automation and better oil recovery rates.
- Ability to serve large buyers and long-term supply contracts.

Limits:
- High capital investment and high fixed costs.
- Requires reliable power, water, boiler, workshop and storage.
- Needs trained engineers and a stable fruit supply chain.
- Fixed costs remain high even when the mill runs below capacity.

Side-by-Side Comparison

The Utilization Trap: Why a Small Mill Can Beat a Big One

Here is the point many investors miss. Profit is driven by utilization, not by nameplate capacity.

A small mill running at 80% utilization can out-earn an industrial mill running at 40%, even though the industrial mill is several times larger. Why? Because an idle mill still consumes money: salaries, electricity, loan interest, depreciation and maintenance are paid whether or not fruit is being processed.

So the calculation is simple: choose the largest scale your FFB supply can keep running at roughly 70-80% utilization - not the largest scale you can afford to buy.

Five Questions to Answer Before You Buy Any Machine

1) Is FFB available all year round? Do not size your mill on the peak harvest month. Ask what happens in the dry season.
2) What daily volume can you really process? Give a number in tonnes per hour or per day, based on actual supply, not ambition.
3) What is your true total budget? The machine is one line only. Add installation, foundation, utilities, working capital and training.
4) What does your site support? Road access, power, water, land and storage decide what you can operate, not the catalogue.
5) What is your growth plan? If you plan to expand within 2-3 years, buy a line that can be extended instead of replaced.

FFB Quality and the 24-48 Hour Rule

Technical choices aside, the biggest quality factor is time. FFB should be processed within 24 to 48 hours of harvest. The longer fruit waits, the more free fatty acid (FFA) builds up, and the lower the grade - and price - of your final oil. No amount of automation can compensate for poor fruit handling at the farm gate.

Common Mistakes We See

- Buying on price alone, without matching capacity to fruit supply.
- Underestimating installation and utility costs, then running short of working capital.
- Choosing an industrial line too early, before the supply network exists.
- Ignoring the dry season when projecting annual throughput.
- Treating the mill as a standalone purchase instead of a production line with inputs and outputs.

What a Complete Processing Line Includes

Whether small or industrial, a palm oil mill is a sequence of steps, not a single machine:
- Sterilizer - cooks the fruit to loosen it and deactivate enzymes.
- Thresher / stripper - separates the fruit from the bunch.
- Digester - prepares the pulp for pressing.
- Screw press - extracts the crude palm oil.
- Clarification and filtration - removes water, solids and impurities.
- Kernel recovery (optional) - recovers palm kernel as a second revenue stream.

Understanding this sequence helps you compare quotations fairly. Two quotations for a "1 TPH line" can differ a lot depending on which steps are included and how automated they are. Always compare scope, not just capacity.

A Note on Oil Recovery Rate

Two mills of the same capacity can earn very different revenue. Oil extraction rate (OER) - the percentage of oil recovered from the fruit - depends on fruit quality, sterilizing, pressing and clarification. A well-run small mill using fresh fruit can reach a good OER and beat a poorly run large mill. This is why day-to-day operation matters as much as the equipment on the floor.

How to Plan Your Expansion Path

Expansion is far cheaper when it is planned from day one. Three practical rules:
1. Size the building, power connection and foundations for the next stage, even if the extra equipment comes later.
2. Keep the layout modular, so you add a parallel line or a larger press instead of rebuilding from scratch.
3. Upgrade the bottleneck first. If pressing limits output, invest there; if fruit supply limits output, invest in the plantation instead.

Final Thoughts

There is no universally "better" scale - there is only the scale that matches your fruit supply, your market and your capital. For most new entrants, a well-chosen small-scale mill running at high utilization will outperform a large mill running below capacity. Start at the right size, run it well, and expand when the fruit and the market justify it.

If you want help sizing a line for your own site, our engineers prepare free selection plans based on your location, FFB volume and target market.
