Which kind of palm oil machines are popular?

Palm oil production is a complex process that involves several stages, each of which requires specialized machinery. The demand for palm oil machines has grown significantly over the years due to the increasing global consumption of palm oil and the need for more efficient and sustainable palm oil production processes. Taking Henan Glory Company as an example, we will discuss the different types of popular palm oil machines in detail and focus on their functions and advantages.

1. Sterilizer

Before the palm fruit is pressed to extract the oil, the palm fruit bunches need to be sterilized to soften the pulp and break down the cell structure, thereby improving the efficiency of palm oil production. Henan Glory Company manufactures two main types of sterilizers: horizontal and vertical.

(1) Horizontal sterilizers: Horizontal sterilizers are more traditional and widely used in many palm oil producing areas. They consist of large drums that sterilizing the palm fruit under steam pressure. Horizontal sterilizers are popular because of their relatively simple design, easy operation and adaptability to various palm oil production scales.

Horizontal sterilizers

(2) Vertical sterilizers: Vertical sterilizers are popular because of their space savings and faster processing time. They stack multiple layers of perforated trays containing palm fruit and then steam them. This design allows for continuous operation and better control of the palm fruit sterilization process, making it the preferred choice for large palm oil production plants looking to optimize production.

2. Thresher

A key step in palm oil production is separating the palm fruits from the bunches. This process is called threshing and helps maximize oil extraction efficiency. Traditional manual threshing methods can be labor-intensive and time-consuming, but by using a palm fruit thresher produced by Henan Glory, this task will become faster and more efficient. It is a palm oil machine used to separate the palm fruits from the bunches without causing damage. The palm oil machine usually combines mechanical action and vibration to separate the palm fruits, which is a key component to increase productivity. Taking the drum type palm fruit thresher as an example, its drum is about 2.5m, which prevents the fruit from coming out of the drum too quickly, and can make the fruit threshed more cleanly.

3. Digester

Next, the palm fruit usually needs to be digested to further break down the pulp and release more oil. A digester is used for this purpose. This palm oil machine can break down the fiber structure, making it easier to press and help increase the final oil yield. In addition, digesting the fruit before pressing is beneficial to oil extraction, while protecting the palm oil machine and reducing pressure and wear on the palm oil presser. Henan Glory's digesters are usually equipped with steam coils to steam again while passing steam.

4. Presser

After digesting, the next stage is extracting the crude palm oil from the fruits. The palm oil presser plays a vital role in this process. The most common type of oil extraction technology used is the screw oil presser, also known as the oil expeller. The palm oil presser works by applying mechanical pressure to the palm fruits to extract the oil. The palm oil presser is highly popular because it provides high oil extraction rates, and it is relatively easy to operate and maintain. Henan Glory Company mainly produces two types of oil pressers: single screw and double screw.

(1) Single screw palm oil presser: Its capacity is 300-500 kg/hour and can be equipped with an electric motor or a diesel engine. It can be used alone or in conjunction with other palm oil machines (such as palm fruit thresher, palm oil filter, etc.). This palm oil machine has a reasonable design and structure, and is easy to operate and maintain.

(2) Double screw palm oil presser: Its most common processing capacities are 1 ton/hour, 5 ton/hour, 10 ton/hour and 15 ton/hour. The working principle is that due to the squeezing effect of the screw shaft rotation and the resistance of the cake thickness adjustment mechanism, the volume of the cake in the barrel becomes smaller and smaller, so that the palm oil can be squeezed out easily. In addition, this palm oil machine uses the most advanced machinery and is completely made of carbon steel. The design is beautiful and sturdy, and the carefully selected materials ensure quality and service life.

5. Clarifiers

After crude palm oil is extracted, it needs to be clarified to remove impurities such as debris, moisture and palm fruit residues. The palm oil clarifiers mainly provided by Henan Glory Company mainly includes vibrating screens, oil clarification tanks and plate and frame filters. Mainly used to remove some fibers, dirt or other impurities. This can make crude palm oil cleaner. The palm oil machines are critical for achieving the desired level of purity in the final product, and they are commonly used in both small and large-scale palm oil production.

6. Refiners

For higher-quality palm oil, crude palm oil needs to be refined to remove impurities and improve its quality. Palm oil refiners will be used to process crude palm oil into refined palm oil. The palm oil machines mainly includes palm oil degumming machine (removing gum), palm oil deacidification machine (removing free fatty acids), palm oil decolorization machine (removing color) and palm oil deodorization machine (removing odor and taste). Palm oil refiners are popular mainly because they can ensure that the final product meets consumer and food safety and quality regulatory standards.

Palm oil production involves a variety of these palm oil machines, which work together to ensure efficient, high-quality palm oil production. These palm oil machines are popular because they can improve efficiency, reduce labor costs, and produce high-quality palm oil products. As global demand for palm oil continues to grow, these palm oil machines will become increasingly important in improving palm oil production processes and ensuring sustainability.
