Palm oil refining line

Palm oil refining line plays a key role in palm oil processing process. Henan Glory Company adopts scientific designed palm oil refining line to refine palm oil to help customer get high quality palm oil.

Doing Group is offering a variety of options for palm oil refining line which include mini palm oil refining line(1tpd), small scale palm oil refining line(1-10tpd) and large scale palm oil refining line(50-300tpd). Users can choose suitable palm oil refining line to meet the production needs.

In the main palm oil producing countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Africa or the Southern American states in particular, palm oil is in demand not only as a raw material in the production of foods, cosmetics or cleaning agents, but also as an edible oil. In order to obtain edible palm oil, palm oil refining line is needed to remove phospholipids, FFA, pigment, gums, off-flavor and other impurities from crude palm oil.

Palm oil refining process flow chart:

Crude palm oil → Degumming → Deacidification → Decolorization → Deodorization → Edible palm oil

Steps of palm oil refining line:

▶1.Filtration:

The purpose of this step in palm oil refining line is to remove the granular impurities in palm oil.

▶2.Degumming:

Pumping crude palm oil into oil refining tank, stirring quickly, and simultaneously heating by steam or heat-transfer oil(in coiled heater). Then add some hot water to remove phospholipid in crude palm oil. But during palm oil degumming process, you should control the water amount, temperature and water adding speed. If phospholipid lasts long suspended in oil, which is hard to gather to make flocculent precipitate. We can rise up the speed of adding water, conversely slow down. Then we can remove the gums in the crude palm oil by precipitation.

▶3. Deacidification:

As for deacidification process, we usually add the food grade alkaline to the degummed oil for acid-base neutralization reaction to remove the FFA, and then remove the soapstock by heating and natural sedimentation. But if the type of palm oil refining machine is different, the soapstock separation methods maybe different. For the batch type and semi-continuous type palm oil refining machine , we will adopt precipitation separation method, as for continuous palm oil refining machine, we will adopt centrifuge separation method.

▶4. Decolorization:

Inhale definite amount of decoloring agent(white clay or acticarbon)into the refined palm oil, continuously stirring and heating for 25min. After that, pump the mixture of oil and white clay into filter to separate oil and waste white clay

▶5. Deodorization:

Pump decolorized palm oil into deodorization tank, when oil temperature reaches above100℃, injecting the direct steam to take the odors away. We can get refined palm oil, which is edible at this step.

▶6. Fractionation:

This is very important process in palm oil refining line, But before this step, we have get edible palm oil, in another word, if not for special usage, this step could be cancelled in palm oil refining process.
