How to Get Oil From Palm Kernel

by Anne Green Sales Manager

To get oil from palm kernel, you need special oil extracting machines like a screw oil press or a integrated screw oil press. Before pressing, you also need to follow several steps. First, crush the palm kernel into small pieces with a crusher. Second, cook the crushed kernel with a roasting machine to decrease the moisture content. By doing this, oil yield can be improved. Third, transport the cooked palm kernel near the screw oil press and send them into the hopper with a bucket elevator to get ready for pressing. Then crude palm kernel oil will be got. While it may usually contains impurities or other matter which are not so healthy to human body. Usually, crude palm kernel oil need to be further processed wither by a special oil filtering machine(if you use an integrated screw oil press, oil will be filtered automatically for it contains filtering equipment ) or refined to remove the unhealthy matter in it. To oil manufacturers who intend to put their oil into large supermarkets or export abroad, the last oil refining step is a necessity. While for some small oil workshop, this step may be omitted.
Above are summed from the experience we have in our producing, adjusting, selling our machines and serving our customers. Some steps like oilseeds pre-processing or something else may be added according to your actual needs.
