Palm kernel oil (PKO) comes from the hard kernel inside palm fruit. It maintains a 1:1 ratio of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids and is rich in vitamin E and carotenoids. It is widely used in margarine, candy, ice cream, soap, and cosmetics.
The palm kernel shells contain very little oil, but absorb oil during processing. When shells mix with press material, reduce both oil yield and cake quality while accelerating equipment wear. Therefore, must remove the hard shell from palm kernels.
The palm kernel crusher breaks whole palm kernels into small particles (4-6 pieces). This improves the material's surface area and destroys cell wall structures, making it easier for oil to release during cooking and pressing.
The cooker uses wet heat treatment to crushed palm kernels by adjusting temperature, moisture, and time.
Cooking thoroughly destroys oil material's cell structure, denatures proteins, aggregates oil, and reduces oil viscosity. These can significantly improve oil yield and press efficiency.
The palm kernel oil expeller machine uses physical pressure to squeeze and separate oil from cooked palm kernels, producing crude palm kernel oil (CPKO).
Screw oil expeller is the main machine type for palm kernel oil extraction. A variable diameter, variable pitch screw shaft rotating inside the press cage. As material advances, the space continuously compresses, increasing pressure that squeezes out oil.
The palm kernel oil filter removes solid cake residue, gums, and other impurities from crude oil flowing out of the expeller, producing initially clarified crude oil.
Filtered crude oil still contains free fatty acids, phospholipids, pigments, odors, and other components. Refining removes these impurities to produce edible or industrial oils meeting different standards. Huatai Group supply different capacity palm kernel oil refining plant for customer.
High Efficiency: Their palm kernel oil screw press machines achieve high oil extraction rates with low residual oil in cake.
Durability: Made with robust materials to withstand continuous operation and harsh conditions.
User-Friendly Operation: Simple controls and easy maintenance reduce labor requirements.
