How to Increase Palm Oil Yield in Palm Oil Mill?
Palm oil, as the most widely consumed vegetable oil globally, has production efficiency and yield that directly impact a company’s economic benefits and market competitiveness. For palm oil processing companies, scientifically increasing production on the existing basis is a core issue that the industry continuously focuses on. This article will delve into systematic methods for increasing palm oil mill output and highlight the innovative solutions provided by Henan Huatai Cereals and Oils Machinery Co., Ltd. in this field.
Systematic Approaches to Increasing Palm Oil Production
1) Optimizing Raw Material Processing
The quality and pretreatment of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) directly affect the palm oil extraction rate. The following measures can significantly improve initial yield:
Strict grading and procurement: Process fruits according to maturity level, avoiding overripe or unripe fruit bunches affecting the overall oil yield.
Rapid processing: Process within 24 hours of harvest to prevent the increase of free fatty acids (FFA).
Palm oil sterilization process optimization: Use precise cooking time and temperature to make it easier for the fruit pulp to separate.
2) Improving the efficiency of the palm oil extraction process
Traditional palm oil extraction processes have significant room for optimization:
Adjusting the reasonable gap between the screw and the cage to increase pressing pressure.
Adopting a multi-stage palm oil pressing process for gradual extraction.
Real-time monitoring of pressing temperature to avoid overheating and oil degradation.
3) Innovative separation and refining technologies
Using high-efficiency centrifugal separation equipment to reduce oil residue in the dregs.
Optimizing the parameters of degumming, deacidification, decolorization, and deodorization processes.
Implementing a closed-loop circulation system to reduce oil loss during the palm oil production process.
