Oil extractor JUNIOR

The JUNIOR mill for the extraction of red palm oil has been designed as a completely independent and standardised production unit with a nominal capacity of 6 tons of FFB per hour. It can process the harvest of ca. 1.500 to 2.000 hectares of palm plantations (depending on the variety, hydrological deficit, location, maintenance of the plantations,...). The JUNIOR mill is an industrial plant equipped with the following essential elements to obtain top grade oil: two horizontal sterilisers an extraction unit a clarification unit a basic kernel recovery unit a boiler a diesel alternator The classic process of transforming the bunches into red palm oil starts with a pressure sterilisation of the bunches in two horizontal sterilisers with a capacity allowing continuous production. The sterilised bunches are automatically emptied in a self-cleaning drum thresher separating the fruit from the stalks. A lift feeds the threshed fruit to the extraction station. The extraction unit consists of a DP5 digester, a PP5 twin screw press and a hot water tank and is used to extract the crude oil from the press cake. Thanks to its simple but robust design, the PP5 press is the most efficient press on the market. The extraction rates obtained can exceed 24%, depending on the variety of palm tree. The modular construction allows for easy maintenance and low maintenance costs.
