  • Why is oil palm nut cracking important?
  • The oil palm tree is one of the greatest economic assets a nation can have, provided its importance is realized and fully harnessed. After the oil extraction of palm oil from the palm fruits, virtually all methods involved in palm kernel nut cracking both in traditional and small-scale exist in scattered or separate units of operations.
  • How is palm kernel oil produced?
  • Palm kernels are produced in a palm oil mill but will usually be sent to a palm kernel crusher plant with a maximum of 6% dirt and 7% moisture content. Mechanical screw press extraction is most common in used to produce crude palm kernel oil (CPKO) complying with Malayan Edible Oil Manufacturers’ Association (MEOMA) specifications.
  • How to determine the energy demand for cracking palm nuts?
  • A nut cracking energy instrument which consists of a hammering mass falling vertically on palm nuts placed on a base was used to determine potential energy required to crack the nuts (Ajewole, 2014). Besides, static impact method is another method in order to investigate into the energy demand for cracking of palm nuts (Esua et.al, 2015) .
  • Can a palm kernel processing machine be used in rural areas?
  • Hence the machine is suitable for use by farmers in rural areas. A palm kernel processing (Cracking and Separating) unit was developed to crack effectively various sizes/diameters of palm kernel as well as to separate the palm kernel from the shell with the aim of reducing the challenges encountered during the production of palm kernel Oil.
  • Why is high quality palm nut cracking machine important?
  • Based on high dependent of many processing company on palm kernel oil, high quality palm nut cracking machine is not only necessary but also important to revitalize the production of palm kernel in other to meup with ever increasing industrial demand.
  • How palm oil is extracted from mesocarp?
  • Fresh fruit bunches (FFB) are sent to the palm oil mill to thresh out the fruitlets as shown in Figure 1 before crude palm oil (CPO) is extracted from the mesocarp. Figure 1. Fruitlet and fresh fruit bunch (FFB). The nuts will then be further processed to recover the kernel. The general mill mass balance is shown in Figure 2.
