Palm Oil Press Machine

Palm Oil Press Station:

Henan Huatai Palm Oil Pressing Station is specially designed for the primary processing of palm fruit, covering the whole process from fresh fruit (FFB) to crude palm oil (CPO) and kernel separation.

The palm oil press equipment adopts patented double-screw pressing technology (patent number: ZL 2020 2 2421126.X), with a single machine daily processing capacity of 10-1000 tons, suitable for plantation supporting pressing stations or independent palm oil mills. Through advanced palm oil production processes such as steam softening, gradient pressing, and simultaneous separation of oil and kernel, palm pulp and kernel are efficiently separated. Crude palm oil can be directly used for refining or export, and pressed cakes can be used as fuel or feed raw materials, achieving zero waste production.

The core equipment of our palm oil pressing station includes the following equipment:

1) Pretreatment unit

a. Automatic feeding system: Elevator + conveyor belt smoothly feeds fresh palm fruit into the sterilizing tank to avoid manual feeding and damage to the fruit grains.

b. Steam sterilizing tank (patented design): Built-in spiral agitator, which softens the pulp evenly through steam, destroys the oil-water emulsification structure, and inactivates enzyme activity.

2) Core pressing unit

a. Double screw press: Receives the pulp after sterilizing and threshing, squeezes out the oil through the gradient boost screw shaft, and the residual oil rate is ≤5%.

b. Oil residue separation tank: Vibrating screen quickly separates crude palm oil (CPO) and fiber pomace, and the turbidity of CPO is ≤200NTU.

The core advantages of Huatai double screw press:

1) Synchronous separation of oil and kernels: Crude palm oil (CPO) and complete kernels can be separated in a single press, eliminating the cost of secondary sorting;

2) High oil yield: The gradient pressure design fully releases the oil from the pulp, and the residual oil rate is 15% lower than that of the single screw model;

3) Continuous operation: 24-hour uninterrupted operation, the daily processing capacity of a single machine can reach 80 tons, which is particularly suitable for supporting large-scale palm plantations.

The entire palm oil processing system reduces energy consumption by 30% through the recycling of steam heat energy. After the cake is dried, it can also be used as biofuel to feed back to the palm oil production line to achieve zero waste production.

Process Flow of Palm Oil Pressing Processing Line:

Henan Huatai Cereals and Oils Machinery Co., Ltd. specializes in providing palm oil pressing stations, including a full set of palm oil pressing production lines from conveying equipment to pretreatment, pressing, filtration, clarification, wastewater treatment series, PLC power distribution system, etc. Huatai palm oil pressing machine has a wide range of applications, advanced technology, high utilization rate of palm fruit raw materials with Chinese national patents. The main working principle of our palm oil pressing station is as follows:

1) After the palm fruit arrives at the pressing station, it is first softened by steam sterilization to kill surface microorganisms, and then palm fruit threshing machine is used to separate the fruit grains and empty fruit bunches (EFB).

2) The softened fruit pulp enters the double-screw press, which breaks the cell structure under high temperature and high pressure, and continuously squeezes out the oil mixture (containing crude palm oil, water and fine fibers).

3) The residue after pressing forms a cake, which contains undamaged palm kernels. The kernels can be efficiently extracted through subsequent kernel shell separation machine for palm kernel oil processing.

The Process Characteristics and Advantages of Palm Oil Pressing Station

Hutai Oil Machinery has advanced palm fruit pretreatment technology and palm oil pressing process, especially the patented product – palm fruit oil pressing machine, which has industry-leading pressing efficiency. Highly automated equipment can save a lot of labor for enterprises.

1) Scientific and efficient sterilization process

a. The constant temperature control system of the sterilizing tank (95±1℃) ensures that the protein is fully denatured and the oil fluidity is optimal;

b. The stirring blades are linked with the steam nozzles to soften the pulp evenly, and the oil yield of the palm oil pressing is increased by 15%-18%.

2) Industry-leading pressing efficiency

a. The double screw shaft adopts a pressure curve design, taking into account the integrity of the kernel and the oil yield;

b. The wear-resistant lining of the pressing chamber can be flipped for use, which extends the service life by 2 times and reduces the maintenance cost by 40%.

3) Full automation saves labor

a. From lifting and feeding to oil residue separation, the whole palm oil pressing process is automatically connected, and one person can operate the entire line;

b. The sterilizing tank is equipped with water level linkage protection, which automatically cuts off the steam when there is a lack of water to eliminate the risk of dry burning.

In the past 37+ years, Huatai’s factory has received more than thousands of customer visits. Our workshop manufacturing strength, professional technical team, and honest and reliable spirit of cooperation have earned us a good reputation in the palm oil industry.
