Small Palm Oil Refining Machine

Processing of Refined Palm Oil or Kernel Oil: To get high grade oil products, the crude palm oil can be further processed in palm oil refinery equipment.
The small scale palm oil refining plant makes an appealing business venture for investors and the like looking into creating palm oil processing business. It has proved rather advantageous in the booming market of palm oil production.

The Prospects of Small Scale Palm Oil Refinery

Our oil refining equipment unit for small scale production has all the bells and whistles including decreased land usage requirements and investment capital. Due to the small size of the equipment set, it is also easy to install and maintain. There are several types of crude oils you can choose to work with including palm oil (CPO), palm kernel oil (PKO) and other types of vegetable oil such as sunflower oil, fish oil, peanut oil, etc.

Crude Palm Oil: Each fresh fruit bunches (FFBs) consist many of these individual fruits. Crude palm oil is extracted from the flesh of these small fruits. The central nut or kernel can be separated and applied for extracting palm kernel oil.

Palm Kernel Oil: The palm kernel getting from the extraction of palm oil will be collected for making palm kernel oil. Palm kernel expeller or cake is the main by-product of palm kernel processing line.

Refining Process of Crude Palm Oil (3 Types)

You have the opportunity to carefully select which type refining process you want to specialize in. There are three common types of edible oil refining process: batch oil, semi-continuous oil, and continuous oil. Each type of refining process can determine the exact size and detailing process of the refinery plant.

Batch Oil Refining Process (1~30 ton/day)

This line of an oil refinery is perfect as a mini or small-scale palm oil mill plant. It requires low investment capital and a smaller occupation of land. You are able to refine almost every type of crude edible oil. The primary refinery process includes three stages which are de-gumming, neutralizing, bleaching, and deodorizing. This process eliminates all the impurities which make the oil inedible.

The refining process also includes making the oil palatable and rancid-resistant if and when it is stored for long periods of time. Batch oil refining holds a capacity of 1TPT to 30TPD.

Semi-Continuous Oil Refining Process (10~50 ton/day)

This line is suitable for medium-scale palm oil refining factory which are efficient in accommodating clients requests. You are able to refine different types of crude oils as well as plant and animal oils. It has a capacity of 10TPD to 50TPD.

Continuous Oil Refining Process (over 30 ton/day)

This line is specifically for large-scale palm oil refinery. It operates automatically with the refinement of the oils with the utmost efficacy. lts daily capacity stands at over 30TPD.

Palm Oil Fractionation

To separate solid phases (Stearine) and liquid phases (Olein), the refined palm oil should go through fractionation process. It is achieved by thermo-mechanical means.

  • How can I refine palm oil?
  • To refine red palm oil, there are four steps to do: degumming, deacidification, decolorization and deodorization. These four steps of palm oil refining processes are to remove the gum, deep color, odor and FFA in red palm oil, and purify crude palm oil to RBD palm oil.
  • What machine is used to refine oil?
  • There are several types of edible oil refinery machines available to cater to different needs. The two main categories include the hydraulic oil press and the screw oil press machine. The hydraulic variant combines traditional extraction methods with modern technology, using pressure to extract oil.
  • How is refined palm oil made?
  • The oil winning process, in summary, involves the reception of fresh fruit bunches from the plantations, sterilizing and threshing of the bunches to free the palm fruit, mashing the fruit and pressing out the crude palm oil. The crude oil is further treated to purify and dry it for storage and export.
  • How much space is needed to produce 1 ton of palm oil?
  • To produce one tonne of oil, we need only 0.3 hectares of land from palm oil, 1.4 hectares from sunflower or rapeseed, 3.7 hectares from coconut, and 7 hectares from groundnut.
  • How to refine palm oil?
  • The main process of palm oil refining processes are: degumming & deacidification , decolorization and deodorization. During palm oil refining process, there are two refining methods can be used, they are chemical refining of palm oil and physical refining of palm oil.
  • What is the difference between palm oil and refined palm oil?
  • The difference between crude palm oil and refined palm oil is that crude palm oil is the oil that is extracted from the fruit of the oil palm tree, while refined palm oil is the oil that has undergone further processing to remove impurities and improve its quality.
  • What temperature is palm oil refined at?
  • Majority of palm oils is physically refined for good processing economics. Bleached palm oil is heated to very high temperature (2600C-2650C) to strip off free fatty acids, and then followed by retention of 60 minutes for heat bleaching and deodorization.
  • What is refined palm oil called?
  • The FFA is collected as “palm fatty acid distillate” (PFAD). PFAD is itself a valuable product used in the manufacture of soaps, washing powder and other products. The final, refined oil is called “refined, bleached and deodorized palm oil” (RBD PO).
  • How do you make refined palm oil?
  • In order to get the pure and refined oil, there are three main process in chemical palm oil refinery plant and chemical palm kernel oil refinery plant: degumming process, bleaching process and deodourising process.
  • s refined palm oil healthy?
  • But palm oil contains a type of fat that can increase cholesterol levels. So people should avoid eating palm oil in excess. Palm oil is possibly safe when used as a medicine, short-term. Taking 7-12 grams daily for up to 6 months seems to be safe.
  • What is the color of refined palm oil?
  • Refined palm oil also named RBD palm oil, RBD palm oil is obtained from refining crude palm oil. It is a light yellow liquid and semi-solid at room temperature, melting to a clear yellow liquid on slight heating. RBD palm oil is used as frying oil for food industries such as instant noodles and snack food.
  • What is the side effect of refined palm oil?
  • About 50% of palm oil is made up of saturated fat, mainly palmitic acid. High intake of this type of fat can increase blood LDL or ‘bad’ cholesterol levels, boosting cardiovascular disease risk. Also, like all oils, palm oil is packed with calories and moderation is key.
  • Which oil is best palm oil or refined oil?
  • A recent research compared palm oil to other oils, such as olive oil, refined oil, coconut oil, and found that palm oil performed worse. According to one study, palm oil raises cholesterol in healthy people. While palm oil is probably healthier than butter, you should avoid it.
