(a)Weighing. Transport palm fruit to factory after truck weighing so as to make prompt settlement and production cost subsequent.
(b)Unloading fruit. Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) are sent to fermentation tank through transportation machinery after sieving and impurities removing. The time from picking up to fermentation should be less than 24 hours, or the free fatty acid(FFA) will rise, which will not be conductive for further processing and production of palm oil from palm oil making machine.

(c)Sterilization. FFB will pass high pressure and high temperature sterilization after entering fermentation tank. It will soft and make sterilization for FFB.
(d)Threshing. Threshing machine will separate both palm fruits and empty fruit bunches(EFB) after FFB soften during fermentation.
(e)Empty fruit bunches (EFB). EFB are sent to send to garden as fertilizer, fuel or other purposes after
conveying and hoarding.
(f)Meshing. Mixing tank will mesh and crush palm fruit until broken after fruit threshing.
(g)Pressing. The crushed palm fruit will be leaching out from screw extrusion of palm oil pressing machine.
(h)Fiber separation. The extruded fiber pie enters air separation system after crushed to get separation
of fibers and cores.
(i)Separation. Crusher divided fruit core into palm kernel and shell after separated with fiber. Air separation and washing systems separate palm kernels and shells. Shells enters boiler system as fuel, and palm kernels are storage after drying.
(j)Oil clarification. Crude palm oil (CPO) contains moisture and impurities after palm oil pressing. CPO begins primary treatment through sand tank and screen, enters vertical clarification tank to make heating and stirring, and finally separate into waste oil and edible vegetable oil. Edible vegetable oil is sent to crude oil storage tank after drying.

Small palm fruit oil press plant and palm press structure is reasonable. It is easy to operate and maintain. It can be fitted with motor or diesel engine. Every hour it can process palm fruit 2T. It is the first selection for palm oil producing customers.  The palm oil press can press the palm fruit, and get the primary oil mixed with palm cores, water and marc. After separation by other machine, the primary oil.

The general process : FFB(fresh palm fruit bunches)—Raw materail Reception— Sterilizing —Threshing —Digesting &pressing —Oil clarification station—Kernel recovery statation –CPO(crude palm oil)

	Palm fruit cooking pot Put the palm skewers into a cooking pot, and cook at high temperature to destroy the lipase in the pulp to prevent the free fatty acid content in the oil from rising. On the other hand, high temperature sterilization can make the fruit soft and easy for mechanical threshing
	Palm fruit threshing machine Its main function is to separate palm fruit from palm fruit bunch.
	Palm fruit masher After the palm fruit bunches are mashed, the pulp and the core are separated, and the cell structure of the pulp is destroyed, which is more conducive to pressing.
	Palm fruit press The crushed palm fruit enters the palm oil double-screw oil press for pressing. After pressing, two parts are obtained: a mixture of oil, water, solid impurities, and a pressed cake (a mixture of fibers and cores). The mixture of oil, water and solid impurities flows into the oil clarification section through the crude oil tank; the pressed cake enters the palm kernel recovery section.
	oil residue separation equipment Mainly separated by high-speed centrifugal force
	Plate and frame filter Filtered through a layer of filter cloth, the filtered oil is more pure
	Palm Oil drying After the above steps, the oil is very clear now, but still contains a lot of water. By vacuum drying, the water is removed. Finally, we get the crude palm oil we needed, pump to oil storage tank.

Small Palm Fruit Oil Press Plant Process

Sterilizer section:
Put the palm fruit bunches into sterilizer for 90 – 120 minutes. The purpose is to destroy lipase to avoid the increase of free fatty acid content in oil; high temperature sterilizer can make the fruit soft and easy to thresh mechanically; pretreatment of peel for subsequent processing; pre conditioning the core to reduce the damage of palm kernel.

Threshing section:
The purpose of threshing is to separate the oil palm fruit from the fruit string by strong vibration. The equipment for threshing is drum type fruit remover. The separated oil palm fruit is then fed to the cooking tank through the conveyor. The empty fruit string is discharged from the other end of the drum to the storage yard, or recycled for palm orchard cover in the delivery area, or the field incineration is applied to the farmland as fertilizer.

Digester section:
The purpose is to tear the fruit peel, separate the pulp from the core and mash the pulp tissue. Meanwhile, the flesh will be softened by heating, and the structure of pulp cells will be destroyed, which will help the oil to be separated from the pulp tissue.

Press section:
After the above steps, palm fruit is sent to the oil press, and then palm fruit is divided into oil, water, solid impurities mixture and cake (fiber and kernel).

Crude oil purification section:
this step is to obtain a relatively pure crude palm oil. The crude oil obtained from oil press generally contains 66% oil, 24% water and 10% non oil solid.
The fiber is separated from the oil by sedimentation and filtration. Then, the oil and sediment can be obtained. The filtered oil from the filter enters into vacuum drying.

Oil drying section:
After the above steps, the oil is very clear now, but still contains a lot of water. By vacuum drying, the water is removed. Finally, we get the crude palm oil we needed, pump to oil storage tank.
The water from dryer machine can be pumped to crude oil gutter to further recycle oil if needed.
The sediment is treated with secondary clarification. After the oil sediment is filtered and the sewage oil is separated, the oil will be settled twice, and the sewage oil mixture will be clarified and separated. The oil left will be settled again. The sewage will be pumped into the sewage treatment tank for treatment.

Palm oil refinery technology

The purpose of palm oil refinery is to get rid of impurities in crude palm oil, so that the finished palm oil can achieve edible oil standards.

The basic palm oil refinery process

1. Crude palm oil filtering
The purchased crude palm oil shall be filtered first to remove suspended particles and other impurities before it can go further processing steps.

2. Palm oil degumming
Colloids include phospholipids, sugar, protein mixtures, trace metals and other impurities. Degumming is the process to remove these impurities. As the quality of raw oil largely determines the quality of the final product, the colloids in raw oil is an important factor that affects the quality of finished oil. The main technological process of palm oil degumming: crude oil–heat exchanger—(add acid) mixer –intermediate tank—(add alkali) mixer—centrifuge—(add water) mixer—intermediate—centrifuge– refined oil. The process adds phosphoric acid to the crude palm oil which is heated to 90 ~ 105℃ with intense stirring and mixing for about 3 minutes, then neutralize part of phosphoric acid with dilute alkali; till all the oil is centrifugally separated, add hot water to it and place it in a static way. Then centrifuge it by extremely high gravity acceleration. Finally, the content of phospholipids in degumming oil can be below 5 * 10-6.

3. Neutralization
Neutralization deacidification is a process that has a great influence on finished palm oil quality and price. If there is problem in neutralization process, it will bring difficulties to every process after decolorization, and reduce product quality and yield.

4. Decolorization
Decolorization is one of the most important processes in palm oil refining. In addition to removing pigment from crude palm oil, it can also reduce phospholipid content, peroxide value, soap content and metal ion content, thereby improving the color, flavor and oxidation stability of oil, and providing good conditions for further refining hydrogenation and deodorization of palm oil. At present, the most commonly used method of oil decolorization is activated clay adsorption decolorization, that is, the use of clay, which has a strong selective adsorption, to remove the pigment dissolved in oil or colloidal particles dispersed in oil pigments and other impurities under certain conditions.

5. Deodorization
Deodorization is a very important step in palm oil refining. In the oil deodorization process, in addition to achieve the purpose of deodorization, more emphasis is now placed on achieving unit operation at low temperature and short time to suppress the production of trans fatty acids, reduce the loss of tocopherol, reduce polymerization and the decomposition of vitamins (A, D, E). In order to prevent oxidation, degassing and direct steam are used before degassing to improve the deodorizing effect. Heat recovery can be achieved through heat exchange between cold oil and hot oil.

6. Fractionation
Fractionation is a special treatment for palm oil, that is, when palm oil is cooled to about 45℃  and kept for a certain period of time, the high melting point components will crystallize and precipitate. After secondary filtration, the high melting point components can be “separated” into three products with different melting points. These three products are: palm stearin, melting point≥40℃; palmitic acid, melting point about 30 C; liquid palm oil, melting point≤20℃. The yields of these three products are about 20%, 30% and 50% respectively, while the quality of refined liquid palm oil can reach the standard of high-grade cooking oil.
