fruits are putted into palm oil digesting and pressing machine. The machine can
use the external mechanical force to digest the oil palm fruits into palm fruit
pulp and then press the crude palm oil out of the pulp. By the way, the quality
and the performance of the palm oil press machine greatly influence the effect
of pressing process, so it is critical to select the proper palm oil pressing
machine to ensure a smooth press effect and oil yield rate.

water in the crude palm oil, thus, it need to be clarified and dried. The
machines usually used in this process are vibrating screen, clarification tank
and plate filter. These devices can be used to remove fiber impurities in the
