How to Stop Palm Oil from Foaming?
During the production, storage and refining of palm oil, the foaming problem not only affects production efficiency, but also reduces the quality of oil products and even causes damage to palm oil equipment. As one of the professional manufacturers in the field of oil and fat equipment, Henan Huatai Cereals and Oils Machinery Co., Ltd. combines years of industry experience to analyze the causes and effective solutions of palm oil foaming for you, helping you optimize the palm oil production process and improve product quality.
The main cause of palm oil foaming
Before solving the foaming problem, we must first understand the cause of its generation:
1) Excessive moisture content: Palm oil that is not fully dehydrated is prone to steam bubbles at high temperatures.
2) Residual impurities: Pulp fibers, phospholipids and other substances will increase the surface tension of the oil, making it difficult for the foam to dissipate.
3) Stirring or pumping too fast: Excessive mechanical shear force will mix in air and form foam.
4) Improper temperature control: Too high or too low temperature will affect the stability of the palm oil and promote foaming.
5) Poor storage conditions: Open containers or frequent exposure to air, palm oil is easy to oxidize and produce foam.
Five solutions to prevent palm oil foaming
1) Optimize the pretreatment process to reduce moisture and impurities
Use Huatai’s high-efficiency palm oil sterilizer to ensure that the palm fruit is fully steamed, destroy the cell structure, and reduce moisture.
Use centrifugal separation technology to remove free fatty acids (FFA) and colloids to improve the purity of the oil.
2) Choose professional defoaming equipment
Huatai recommends:
Vacuum defoaming system: quickly eliminate bubbles in the palm oil under negative pressure.
Automatic defoamer addition device to accurately control the dosage and avoid excessive addition.
3) Control the pressing and refining temperature
Low-temperature palm oil pressing process (Huatai palm oil screw oil press): reduce oil oxidation and foaming caused by high temperature.
Precise temperature control in the refining stage (palm oil deodorization tower) to avoid local overheating and bubble generation.
4) Optimize storage and transportation methods
Use stainless steel protective storage tanks to reduce the contact between oil and oxygen.
Avoid vigorous stirring or high-speed pumping to reduce air mixing.
5) Regular equipment maintenance and process optimization
Check whether the filtration system is blocked to avoid impurity accumulation.
Monitor the acid value and peroxide value of oils and fats to ensure compliance with standards.
