Palm oil is one of the world's most widely produced and traded vegetable oils, essential for food, cosmetics, biofuels, and industrial applications. Huatai Grain and Oils Machinery Co., Ltd. specializes in designing, manufacturing, and installing complete palm oil processing plants, offering turnkey solutions that ensure high efficiency, superior oil quality, and sustainable operations. With over 38 years of experience and a presence in more than 60 countries, we are a trusted global partner in palm oil production.
Complete Palm Oil Processing Workflow
Huatai’s palm oil processing lines cover every stage from fresh fruit bunches (FFB) to refined, bleached, and deodorized (RBD) palm oil and palm kernel oil (PKO).
1. Sterilization
- Purpose: Halts enzymatic activity, loosens fruits from bunches, and prepares for threshing.
- Equipment: Horizontal or vertical sterilizers with steam injection systems.
- Capacity: 1–120 tons per hour (TPH) configurations.
2. Threshing & Stripping
- Rotary drum threshers efficiently separate sterilized palm fruits from empty bunches.
- High recovery rate with minimal fruit damage.
3. Digestion & Pressing
- Digesters: Heat and stir fruits to break oil-bearing cells.
- Pressing: Huatai’s double-screw presses offer:
- Hydraulic bolt screw design for enhanced compression
- Opposite-rotation screws for maximum oil yield
- Energy-efficient operation with precise control
4. Clarification & Purification
- Crude Oil Clarification: Removes water and solids.
- Palm Kernel Recovery: Separates kernels from pressed fiber for PKO extraction.
5. Palm Oil Refining
- Degumming: Removes phospholipids.
- Bleaching: Adsorbs color pigments and impurities.
- Deodorization: Eliminates odors and free fatty acids.
- Fractionation (optional): Separates palm olein from palm stearin.
6. Palm Kernel Oil (PKO) Processing
- Kernel crushing, conditioning, and pressing or solvent extraction.
- PKO refining similar to palm oil refining.
7. By-Product Utilization
- Empty fruit bunches (EFB) for biomass energy.
- Palm fiber and shells as boiler fuel.
- Palm kernel cake (PKC) as animal feed.
