  • How palm oil is extracted?
  • The nuts are send to crushing system to remove the shell. Palm kernel is another by-product of palm oil mill, which can be further processed in palm kernel processing plant to extract palm kernel oil, while the shells are sold as fuel to other industries. After palm oil extraction, the nuts and fiber are recovered from the mash.
  • How palm kernels are extracted from nut shells?
  • By use of cracking machinery, the palm kernel will be recovered from the nuts. The nut shells are collected and feed into boiler with fiber. The kernels are further processed in palm kernel oil extraction plant to produce palm kernel oil (PKO) and palm kernel cake (PKC). The rate of FFA increase is much faster in broken kernels.
  • Is Malaysian palm kernel oil good quality?
  • Strict quality control right from fruit processing to kernel extraction is necessary to ensure production of good quality oil and by-products. Malaysian palm kernel oil has proven to be of consistent quality, with narrow ranges in chemical characteristics. The palm kernel cake and pellets are important ingredients for animal feed.
  • How to avoid cracking of palm kernels?
  • But to avoid cracking of palm kernels, the pressure is reduced and oil retention increase to 10–12%. The oil extraction ratio (OER) and kernel extraction ratio (KER) are calculated from the tonnage of FFB coming into the mill and the weight of oil kernel produced (Corley & Tinker, 2003).
  • How palm kernels are processed?
  • The nuts are sent to nut silo. By use of cracking machinery, the palm kernel will be recovered from the nuts. The nut shells are collected and feed into boiler with fiber. The kernels are further processed in palm kernel oil extraction plant to produce palm kernel oil (PKO) and palm kernel cake (PKC).
  • How a palm kernel recovery plant works?
  • In palm kernel recovery plant, the nuts and fibre will be separated by physical method. The fibre are burned in steam boiler as biomass fuel. The super-heated steam is then used to drive turbines to generate electricity for the to the complete palm oil extraction plant. The nuts are send to crushing system to remove the shell.
