Product Details

The palm kernel oil press machine is specifically designed for the unique hardness and oil content of palm kernels, differing significantly from mesocarp presses. It applies higher compression ratios and specialized worm geometry to achieve residual oil below 6% in kernel cake, maximizing revenue from this valuable co-product. The optimized design ensures consistent performance with precise temperature control for high-quality oil output.

Key Features:

• Hardened alloy steel worm shaft withstands abrasive kernel particles and high pressure
• Adjustable choke mechanism allows precise control of cake thickness and oil yield
• Multi-stage compression zone gradually increases pressure to avoid oil emulsification
• Precise temperature control system for optimal extraction conditions
• Water-cooled barrel prevents overheating and preserves kernel oil quality
• Durable construction with stainless steel 316 components for corrosion resistance
• High oil yield with easy operation and maintenance
• Quick-disassembly design enables fast worm and cage bar replacement

Working Principle:

Flaked palm kernels enter the pressing chamber where the rotating worm conveys material forward through progressively smaller pitch sections. The kernels are crushed and compressed, forcing oil through the filter screen while the kernel cake is discharged from the end. Compression ratio increases along the barrel length, squeezing oil through cage bars while compacting solids into cake. The choke at the discharge end regulates backpressure to optimize extraction efficiency. Extracted kernel oil flows to filtration, while cake is conveyed to solvent extraction plant for further oil recovery.
