Introduction

Henan Huatai Intelligent Equipment Group's palm oil refining machine use modular and continuous complete equipment systems, combined with physical refining processes, efficiency and environmental protection.

Next, I will introduce to you Henan Huatai Group's palm oil refining equipment types, application, and price.

Why Crude Palm Oil Needs Refining?

Because crude palm oil is directly pressed or extracted from oil palm fruits, contains various naturally occurring substances. These can affect oil's quality, safety, appearance, flavor, and storage stability.

Palm oil refining main purpose is to remove various impurities and undesirable components from crude palm oil. Making it safe, stable, neutral-tasting, light-colored edible oil. And meet needs of consumers and food industry.

Crude vs. Refined Palm Oil: What’s the Difference?

Crude palm oil and refined palm oil differ in color, odor, purity, and many other aspects, as shown in follow table:

Feature	Crude Palm Oil (CPO)	Refined Palm Oil (RPO)
Color	Dark red or orange	Light yellow or colorless
Odor	Earthy, strong	Neutral, mild
Purity	Contains free fatty acids, gums, and odor compounds	Free from impurities
Stability	Less stable, prone to oxidation	More stable, longer shelf life
Applications	Not suitable for direct consumption, used in industrial applications	Used in cooking, food, cosmetics, and biofuels

What machines used in palm oil refining process?

Palm Oil Degumming Machine

Crude palm oil contains solid gums, mainly phospholipids. The palm oil degumming machine uses phosphoric acid to break down unhydrated phospholipids, preparing for oil decolorization.

Palm Oil Decolorizing Machine

Palm oil decolorizing (bleaching) use activated white clay to remove carotenoids from palm oil, such as pigments, make it lighter.

Henan Huatai Group palm oil bleaching tower is made of carbon steel or stainless steel, with tower structure and mixer hook. When stirring, activated white clay rolls evenly and does not settle.

Palm Oil Deodorizing Machine

Palm oil deodorization is remove free fatty acids (FFA), aldehydes, ketones, and odorous substances from palm oil, improve sensory quality and oxidative stability.

Henan Huatai Group's palm oil deodorization tower adopts deacidification and deodorization combined structure, top deacidification and bottom deodorization, internal use jet pump. Our palm oil deodorization machine has high deodorization efficiency and short time.

$Palm oil fractionation machine$

Palm Oil Fractionation Machine (Option)

Palm oil fractionation is a physical process, through melting, crystallization, and filtration, separate palm oil into olein and stearin. The main equipment used is crystallization tank.

Henan Huatai Equipment Group's crystallization tank adopts a vertical structure, uses double-layer serpentine coils for heating and cooling. It has high heat exchange efficiency, low power consumption, and energy saving.

3 Types of Palm Oil Refining Machines

Batch Type Palm Oil Refining Process

Palm oil is processed in batches, each batch complete degumming, deacidification, decoloring, and deodorization in separate tanks. Each batch is processed independently, without continuity.

Semi-continuous palm oil refining machine

Semi-Continuous Oil Refining Process

The front end (degumming, deacidification, and decoloration) uses batch-type tanks, back end (deodorization) use continuous deodorization tower. This setup have flexibility and efficiency.

Continuous Palm Oil Refining Process

Palm oil flows continuously from crude oil to finished product, pass through equipment such as neutralization tanks, decoloration towers, and deodorization towers without batch intervals.

Henan Huatai Intelligent Equipment has three palm oil refining processes: batch-type, semi-continuous, and continuous. They differ in production capacity, equipment configuration, applicable oils, and costs. As shown in below table:

Type	Capacity	Core Equipments	Typical Oils	Loss Rate	Price
Batch Type Palm Oil Refining Process	1-20 ton/day	Degumming tank, neutralization tank, decolorization tank, deodorization tank	Palm oil, palm kernel oil, rice bran oil, peanut oil, rapeseed oil, tea seed oil, soybean oil, corn germ oil, sunflower seed oil, sesame oil, walnut oil, sesame oil, etc.	8-10%	$50,000 - $200,000
Continuous Palm Oil Refining Process	10-50 ton/day	Batch tank (front section) + continuous deodorization tower, four-stage steam jet pump, thermal oil boiler		5-7%	$100,000-$500,000
Continuous Palm Oil Refining Process	>50 ton/day	Centrifugal mixer, continuous decolorization tower, continuous deodorization tower, automatic filtration system, four-stage steam jet pump		3-5%	$500,000+

Henan Huatai Group's semi-continuous process optimizes palm oil deodorization station, avoid alkali refining losses. You can consult us any time!
