Transport of fresh fruit bunches of palm oil is carried by trucks from the garden to the factory. Fresh fruit bunches is then weighed to check it’s capacity. The quality of crude palm oil is affected by the condition and quality of fresh fruit bunches. With the process in the factory, the potential decline in quality can be suppressed. So the quality of palm oil crude which is produced was more save, not fully influenced by the raw material.
2. Boiling Fresh Fruit Bunches Palm Oil
After passing through the stage of weighing, fresh fruit bunches palm oil is then entered into a lorry stew of perforated steel plate. Next the process continues to move fresh fruit bunches to the sterilizer in the form of vessel that utilizes steam pressure from 2.2 to 3 kg/cm2 to boil fresh fruit bunches in 90 minutes. The goal is to shut down the enzymes that can damage the quality of the oil. The process produces condensate which containing oil with levels of 0.5 percent. The condensate is then inserted into the pit fat, while the stewed fruit bunches transferred to threser use hoisting cranes.
3. Threshing Coconut Oil of Munitions
Threshing coconut from bunches is done with beating method so the fruit apart and entered confeyor fit. After that, the oil palm fruit is brought to the digester to separate fruit from stalk cluster use thresher. Thresher process is performed twice so that the entire palm fruit is completely separate from the stalk. The rest of the process is then flowed into the combustion room to be used as a side product.
4. Edible Oil Processing of Meat Fruit
The process continues where fruit conveyor transports fruits which has been separated into the digester to remove the pulp from the seeds. Phase digester is utilizing water vapor temperature of 80-90 degrees Celsius and maintained stability. The next stage is enter fruit into the screw press machine. This tool is useful to press the palm fruit that oil out from the seeds and fiber. Usually, this process uses additional heat about 10-15 percent of the capacity of the pressing. Oil is produced from the above is crude oil that was mixed with pulp and seeds. Therefore, before accommodated to crude oil tanks, crude oil is washed out using a sand trap and then filtered uses vibrating screen. Dregs and collected seeds still contain oils that need to be processed again using depericarper. The process of filtering the pulp is often added hot water to smooth the process. Palm oil crude which collected are then pumped to decenter to separate the solid and liquid. The oil separation process must be adapted to the phases of the oil. In the liquid phase in the form of oil, water and the density is collected in the tank countinuous setting that is followed the oil flowed into the oil tank. While the heavy phase in the form of water and dissolved solids is collected in the sludge tank then flowed into sludge separator to separate the oil. 5. Palm Oil Purification Process From the oil tank, the oil then piped to oil purifier to separate the solid which containing water. After that, the stage continues by flowing it to a vacuum drier to remove moisture content up on the brink of default. Afterwards, pure oil that has been of the highest quality is then distributed through sarvo balance leading to oil storage tanks.
