palm oil retrofitting

Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) are delivered to the mill and inspected for quality before processing. The bunches are weighed, unloaded, and moved to loading ramps or conveyors for sterilization. Proper handling at this stage ensures efficiency and minimizes damage to the fruit.

Once sterilized, the fruit bunches are fed into a rotating drum or thresher to separate the palm fruits from the empty bunches. This process ensures efficient fruit recovery, preparing them for the next stage of oil extraction. The empty bunches are then discarded or repurposed for sustainable use.

Separated palm fruits are heated and mechanically mashed in a digester to break down the mesocarp and release the oil. The softened fruit mash is then pressed using screw presses to extract crude palm oil (CPO), while the remaining fiber and nuts are separated for further processing.

The clarified and dried crude palm oil (CPO) is transferred to storage tanks, where it is maintained at an optimal temperature to prevent solidification and quality degradation. Proper storage ensures the oil remains stable before transportation or further refining.

After oil extraction, the remaining fiber and nuts are separated. The nuts are then cracked to extract the palm kernels, which are further processed for palm kernel oil (PKO) production. Proper separation ensures maximum recovery and minimizes waste.

The recovered palm kernels are cleaned, crushed, and pressed to extract palm kernel oil (PKO). The remaining kernel cake can be used as animal feed or for other industrial applications, ensuring minimal waste and maximum resource utilization.
