  • What equipment is used in palm oil production?
  • Good day, the equipment for a small scale palm oil processing plant includes thresher, digester, oil press machine, oil filter machine, belt conveyor, screw conveyor, etc.
  • What is unhealthy about palm oil?
  • - Palm oil is high in saturated fats (about 50% of its fat content), which can raise LDL (bad) cholesterol levels in the blood. Elevated LDL cholesterol is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Heart Disease: - The consumption of high amounts of saturated fats has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease.
  • What's the difference between palm oil and palm kernel oil?

  • What do you need to produce palm oil?
  • The first step in the palm oil production process is harvesting the palm fruit. Harvested bunches are transported to factories where they are first sterilised and then threshed. Once separated from the bunch, the fruits go through a digester, to then be mechanically pressed in order to extract oil from the pulp.
