What is a palm kernel crushing plant?

Our Palm Kernel Crushing Plant is a facility designed to extract oil from palm kernels, which are the seeds found inside the fruit of oil palm trees. These kernels contain a significant amount of oil, separate from the palm oil extracted from the flesh of the fruit. Here's a brief overview of the process in a Palm Kernel Crushing Plant: 1.

What type of oil does palm fruit produce?

Palm fruit produces two distinct types of oils: crude palm oil (CPO) from the mesocarp and palm kernel oil (PKO) from the inside kernel ( Gourichon, 2013, Robbelen, 1990 ). Both CPO and PKO are important in world trade ( Schroeder, Becker, & Skibsted, 2006 ). In 2012, CPO and PKO accounted for 32% of global fats and oils production.

What is palm kernel oil used for?

A major use of palm kernel oil is as the key functional ingredient in many soaps, detergents and cosmetics. E. guineensis plants bear prolific numbers of oil-rich fruit bunches year-round, each containing between 1000¨C3000 individual fruits (Corley and Tinker 2015 ).

What are the basic operations associated with palm oil processing?

The basic unit operations associated with palm oil processing include fruit sterilization, fruit loosening/stripping, digestion, oil extraction and clarification. Fruit sterilization denotes heat rendering and moisture absorption. The aim is to inactivate the lipolytic enzymes in the fruit mesocarp.
