  • How is palm kernel oil extracted?
  • The mechanical extraction method uses screw press as the principal means of extracting vegetable oil. However, use of the screw press for full extraction has been increased over the years in the less developed countries. Today even larger and more efficient machines are being developed for full extraction and pre-pressing of palm kernel oil.
  • Which method is used for palm kernel oil production?
  • In this design and fabrication, the method used is the mechanical extraction method, because it is suitable for production of small and large quantities of palm kernel oil. Its time rate is faster and much manual labour is not required; therefore, it is cheaper than traditional method which requires more manual labour.
  • What are the basic steps in palm oil extraction?
  • The basic steps are : Palm Nut is one of the byproduct of Palm Oil Extraction Plants. These Nuts comprise of about 50% Palm Kernel. Proper Separation Technique is necessary to recover the kernels from these nuts. Ripple Mills are used to crack the Palm nuts.
  • What is palm fruit & palm kernel oil?
  • Palm fruit or palm kernel for edible oil has been processed in Africa for thousands of years, and the oil produced, highly colored and fragrant, is an essential ingredient in one of the traditional African cuisine. Mechanical extraction processes are suitable for both small, medium and large capacity operations. The basic steps are :
  • How is palm oil processed?
  • The traditional method of palm oil processing starts with the shelling of the palm nut. The shelling is performed by using two stones to crack each nut and separating the kernel and shell simultaneously. This manual operation has been largely superseded by the use of nut cracking stations.
  • How does a palm kernel oilcake work?
  • The expelled kernel oil flows through the slots distributed over the barrel circumference. The oilcake leaves the extraction machine through an adjustable cone and is then delivered to the second pressing Because of their high oil content, Palm kernels have to be subjected to 2 stage pressing for maximum oil yield.
