High efficiency palm oil refining line /palm oil production line

In the main producing countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Africa or the Southern American states in particular, palm oil is in demand not only as a raw material in the production of foods, cosmetics or cleaning agents, but also as an edible oil. In order to render the palm oil obtained edible, palm oil refining is needed to remove impurities.

Palm oil refining: 
1.Filtration: The purpose of this step is to remove the granular impurities in palm oil.
2.Degumming: Pumping crude oil into oil refining tank, stirring quickly, and simultaneously heating by steam or heat-transfer oil(in coiled heater). Then add some hot water. You should control the water amount, temperature and water adding speed. If phospholipid lasts long suspended in oil, which is hard to gather to make flocculent precipitate. We can rise up the speed of adding water, conversely slow down. At the meanwhile, adding alkali to remove the FFA. For the batch type and semi-continuous type refinery, they will adopt precipitation separation method, continuous refineries will adopt centrifuge separation method.
3.Decolorization: Inhale definite amount of decoloring agent(floridin or acticarbon)into the oil, continuously stirring and heating for 25min. After that, pump the mixture of oil and floridin into filter to separate oil and floridin.
4.Deodorization: Pump and heat decolorized oil, when oil temperature reaches above100℃, injecting the direct steam to take the odors away. We can get refined palm oil, which is edible at this step.
5.Fractionation: This is very important process in palm oil refining, But before this step, we have get edible palm oil, in another word, if not for special usage, this step could be cancled in palm oil refining.

Refinery palm oil process is mature technology in China. The purpose of refinery palm oil process is to removal the impurities to meet the standards of edible oil. And the refinery palm oil processes are: crude oil ---degumming bleaching---deodorization---fractionation. Steps of refining process of palm oil are as follows:

refinery palm oil process

First, put the crude oil into oil refining tank, stirring quickly, and simultaneously heating by steam. And then add the hot water. It is the most important stage , you should manage the water amount, temperature and water adding speed. At the same time, alkali is added to remove the FFA.

Next, Inhaling the definite quantity de-coloring agent (active clay, active carbon) into the oil by vacuum, then they are continue stirred and heated for  25mins. After pumping the oil and clay mixture into vibrating filter to remove the waste clay, the de-colorization is finished.

After the decolorized oil pumped to the deodorization pot or the deodorization tower, it’s begin to heat. When the temperature reaches above100℃, the direct steam is added to take the odors away.

After all of these, the palm oil should be cooled in vacuum cooling tank. When the temperature is nearly 80℃, it can be transferred  to another  container, then we got the refining palm oil.

After the refinery palm oil processes, the refining palm oil have different kinds of usages. It is edible oil, and also can be used for other purposes. It is widely used in food manufacturing and production, and the other 10% of the palm oil is mainly used in soap and oil chemical production. Besides, refining palm oil can also be used to make soap, vegetable oil, and other types of products.

The introduction of palm oil production process；

1.Raw materials storage section: Fresh palm fruit bunch must be first measurement recorded by the pound into the plant, then unloaded to loaded fruit slopes and stored.

2.Sterilizing section: fresh palm fruit bunch are airtight sterilized in sterilizer. The purpose to prevent enzymes broken down, avoiding FFA content in oil further increase; easy threshing machinery; pretreatment peel, prepared for the follow-up processing; pre-conditioning stone, reducing the damage kernel.

3.Threshing section: The purpose of threshing is the oil palm fruit be separated from the fruit bunch through strong vibration, Threshing equipment is revolving drum thresher. The oil palm fruit separated be ejected then into the press section. Empty fruit bunch be ejected to the yard from the other side of the revolving drum, or shipped out from the plant as palm orchards slipcover to recycling use, or burning in the locale as fertilizer for agricultural land.  

 

4.Pressing section: Oil palm fruit first carry out cooking before pressed, fruit sterilized must be re-heating for the soft pulp, and damage pulp cell structure. Then enter into continuous screw press for pressing. Oil palm fruit pressed is divided into two parts: oil, water, solid impurities mixture and the press cake (fiber and nuclear). Oil, water, solid impurities mixture by the crude oil gutter inflow to oil purification section; press cake by breaking screw conveyor into the fiber- recovery section.

5.Clarification section: Machine-pressed crude oil first diluted with water washing, through settlement and filtration, the fiber material removed from the oil, and then carry out continuous settlement, the whole divided into two parts: oil and sediment. Oil by centrifugal separation and through vacuum drying pumped into the storage tank for storing; oil sediment by filtration and dirt oil separation, oil process second settlement, dirt oil mixture process clarification separation, Skim oil then carry out a second settlement, sewage pumps to sewage treatment pond for dealing with.

6.Fiber separation section: Press cake broken by breaking screw conveyor and then transported into the fiber separation air net and fiber polishing roller for fiber separating. The fiber material separated are sent to the boiler room as fuel; the stone separated are transported to stone warehouse by pneumatic conveying system for temporary storage.

7.Kernel recovery section: the stone needs intenerate tempering before being broken, the intenerating stone be divided into two or more petal by corrugated crusher, kernel was released. The broken mixture enters into broken mixture separation system; separation system adopts two stage separation and water separation. After separation, shell is sent to the warehouse for temporary storage, as boiler room fuel when necessary; the moisture content of separation kernel falls to below 7% through the hot air to dry. Dried kernel is sent to kernel storage warehouse for storing.

8. After getting the crude oil, the palm oil refinery and palm oil fractionaction is used to get the higher quality oil. The palm oil refinery is used to move the impurities in the crude palm oil. The function of the palm oil fractionaction line is to sepaprate the olein and stearin.     

 

How to make palm oil ?How to get palm oil ？

Palm oil is one of the biggest consumption edible oil. But how to make palm oil ?
In fact, about the palm oil how is it made , the Malaysia technologies is advanced , but they always used for processing large capacities, such as 30t/h, 50t/h ,60t/h...
Do you know how to make palm oil in Africa ? Most people, will adopt the traditional , manual and inefficient extraction method, they will use stone mill or feet to make the oil out. There is high residue in the final cakes.

Now, Doing company will provide you the small capacities palm oil machine, it will help you get the maximum palm oil. How to make palm oil by doing company ?
1. Palm oil extraction line, it includes the sterilizer, thresher , mashing etc. processes to pretreat the palm fruits, then using the twin screw press to extract palm oil out. The handling capacity is from 2t/h to 20t/h.
2. Palm fruits oil press : it is only a single oil press, it is very economic to process capacity of 300-500kg/h.
3. Palm oil refinery line : it is used for further processes the red palm oil to colorless and odorless high quality cooking oil.
4. Palm oil fractionation line: it is used for separating the refined palm oil to palm olein to palm stearine.
