How to Process Palm Fruit Efficiently?
As one of the world’s highest-yielding oil crops, the processing technology of palm fruit directly impacts oil quality and production efficiency. Henan Huatai Cereals and Oils Machinery Co., Ltd., with over 38 years of experience in the field of grain and oil machinery, has developed a complete set of efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly palm fruit processing solutions to help global customers increase production value.
Core Palm Fruit Processing Flow
1) Palm Fruit Sterilization and Fruit Separation
Palm fruit must be processed within 24 hours of harvesting to prevent the increase of free fatty acids. Huatai Oil Machinery uses a high-efficiency continuous palm oil mill sterilizer, which uses steam treatment to loosen the fruit bunches and inhibit enzyme activity, preparing them for subsequent fruit separation.
2) Fruit Threshing Process
Huatai’s patented fruit threshing machine uses flexible impact technology, efficiently separating the pulp from the fruit bunch while significantly reducing kernel breakage, ensuring the integrity of the kernels for subsequent palm oil processing.
3) Palm Oil Extraction System
The core process uses Huatai’s twin-screw oil press, which innovatively combines high temperature and high pressure with mechanical extrusion, increasing the oil yield by 2-3% compared to traditional methods and reducing the residual oil rate to below 6%. The unique energy-saving design reduces electricity consumption per ton of material by 15%.
4) Palm Kernel Separation and Processing
Palm kernels separated from the mixture after fruit separation are processed by Huatai’s specialized palm kernel crushing equipment, further processed into palm kernel oil, maximizing resource utilization.
5) Crude Palm Oil Refining
Huatai provides a complete palm oil refining solution, including degumming, deacidification, decolorization, and deodorization processes. The produced palm oil meets international food standards, and some equipment models have passed EU CE certification.
Henan Huatai’s Technological Innovation Advantages
1) Intelligent Control System
Huatai’s latest generation palm oil production line integrates a PLC automatic control system, enabling parameter monitoring and adjustment throughout the entire process from feeding to finished product, significantly reducing manual intervention and ensuring stable quality.
2) Energy-Saving and Environmentally Friendly Design
The waste heat recovery system recycles the heat generated during sterilization and refining processes, and the water-saving device reduces water consumption per ton of palm fruit processed by 30%, conforming to the trend of green production.
3) Modular Configuration
For customers of varying scales, Huatai offers modular equipment solutions ranging from 10 tons to 1000 tons per day, enabling the construction of complete palm oil production lines or the technical upgrading of existing equipment.
4) Practical Application Cases
In a project for a client in Ghana, the 100-ton-per-day palm fruit processing line provided by Huatai increased the client’s oil extraction rate from 18% with traditional methods to 21.5%, shortening the return on investment period to 2.3 years. In several projects in Africa, Huatai equipment demonstrated excellent performance even in areas with weak infrastructure, thanks to its strong adaptability and low maintenance requirements.
Key Considerations When Choosing Palm Oil Processing Equipment
Henan Huatai Oil Machinery recommends that clients consider the following when selecting equipment:
Equipment materials and durability (Huatai mainly uses stainless steel for contact parts)
Energy efficiency indicators
After-sales technical support system
Process flexibility (ability to handle fruits of different ripeness levels)
Compliance with local environmental regulations
As the demand for palm oil continues to grow, palm oil processing technology is developing towards higher efficiency and lower energy consumption. Henan Huatai Cereals and Oils Machinery Co., Ltd. will continue to innovate and develop, providing reliable technical equipment support for the global palm oil industry.
