What should be Paid Attention to When Processing Palm Oil?
As one of the most widely used vegetable oils in the world, the processing of palm oil directly affects product quality and market competitiveness. As one of the professional grain and oil machinery manufacturers, Henan Huatai Cereals and Oils Machinery Co., Ltd., with many years of industry experience, will analyze the key precautions in the palm oil processing process in detail for you.
Raw material selection and pretreatment precautions
1) Raw material quality control: Select fresh, mold-free palm fruit bunches (Fresh Fruit Bunches, FFB). Huatai Oil Machinery recommends that the raw material acid value (FFA) should be controlled below 5%, and the maturity should be around 90%.
2) Key points of sterilization section: Huatai Oil Machinery’s sterilization equipment uses indirect steam heating, the temperature is controlled at around 100℃, and the time is maintained for 90 minutes, which can effectively inhibit lipase activity and prevent the increase of free fatty acids.
3) Fruit threshing process: Huatai’s patented fruit threshing machine, the speed is controlled at 35-40rpm, to ensure that the fruit grain shedding rate is above 95%, while reducing the damage of the fruit core.
Core technical points in the palm oil pressing process
1) Precise temperature control: Huatai oil press adopts a segmented heating system, the preheating temperature is controlled at 90-100℃, and the temperature of the palm oil pressing area is maintained at 130-140℃, which not only ensures the oil yield but also avoids nutrient damage.
2) Pressure adjustment skills: Dynamically adjust the pressure according to the raw material conditions. Huatai engineers recommend that the initial pressure be controlled at 8-10MPa and the final pressure can be increased to 12-15MPa.
3) Moisture control standard: The moisture content of the material should be kept in the range of 12-15% before pressing. Huatai intelligent control system can monitor and adjust automatically in real time.
Key control links in the palm oil refining process
1) Degumming process optimization: Huatai recommends the use of physical degumming method, the temperature is controlled at 70-80℃, 0.1-0.2% phosphoric acid is added, and the stirring speed is maintained at 60rpm.
2) Huatai palm oil bleaching machine adopts special design, which can save 15% of white clay consumption.
3) Huatai high-efficiency deodorization tower adopts structured filler, and steam consumption is reduced by 20%.
Process advantages of Huatai Oil Machinery
1) Energy-saving design: Huatai palm oil equipment adopts heat recovery system, which can recover 85% of waste heat, and the comprehensive energy consumption is reduced by 30% compared with traditional equipment.
2) Automation control: Equipped with PLC automatic control system, key process parameters can be precisely controlled, with an error range of ±0.5%.
3) Modular design: It can be flexibly configured according to customer needs, with 10-1,000 tons daily processing capacity.
4) Environmental protection standards: Exhaust gas emissions meet national standards, and wastewater treatment meets GB8978 first-level standards.
Safety and environmental protection precautions
1) Explosion-proof design: All electrical components of Huatai equipment are explosion-proof and meet ATEX standards.
2) Exhaust gas treatment: Equipped with a three-stage condensation system, VOCs removal rate ≥95%.
3) Wastewater treatment: Huatai’s patented oil recovery system is used, and the oil content in the wastewater is ≤50mg/L.
