  • 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.
  • 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 This manual operation has been largely superseded by the use of nut cracking stations.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 many kg of palm kernel would be processed in 5 hours?
  • Also 297.6kg of palm kernel would be processed in 5hours batch operation time. Mass fraction of cake in the unclarified oil after recycle. In process design, energy balance is made to determine the energy requirements of the process, the heating, cooling and power required.
  • What are the components of a palm kernel processing plant?
  • COMPONENTS AND MATERIALS SELECTION The components include the shaker which is driven by a belt, the hopper, the crusher which uses direct gear coupling and the expeller cage. The plant required two 3-phase AC electric motors to drive it. From the material balance analysis, 59.52kg of palm kernel will be processed in 1hr.
  • What is Kumar PK series expeller?
  • Kumar’s PK Series Expellers are designed and manufactured for the efficient extraction of palm kernel oil. The robust construction features a fabricated single chamber expeller constructed with hard-faced wear parts. Low maintenance, sturdy construction and easy to install.
