Are you facing the frustrating issue of your palm fruit crusher getting clogged due to the high impurity content in African palm fruits? This guide is tailored to help you overcome this challenge and significantly boost your palm oil extraction rate by fine - tuning the crusher parameters. With the unique high - humidity environment in Africa in mind, we'll also optimize the pre - treatment process.

Let's start by understanding the real - world pain points. Picture this: your palm oil processing plant in Africa is constantly struggling with low oil yields and frequent equipment breakdowns. The high impurity levels in African palm fruits are a major culprit, causing blockages in the crusher and reducing overall efficiency. This is a problem that many palm oil processors in Africa can relate to, and it's time to find a solution.

Regional Analysis of Moisture Content and Impurities

The moisture content and impurities in palm fruits vary significantly across different regions, which have a profound impact on the cleaning, crushing, and cooking processes. Here's a breakdown:

Technical Points Breakdown

Cleaning Process

In the cleaning process, adjusting the spray pressure is crucial. For African palm fruits with high impurity levels, a higher spray pressure (around 3 - 5 bar) can effectively remove impurities. This ensures that the fruits are clean before entering the next stage.

Crushing Process

Selecting the right knives and setting the appropriate knife gap are key to efficient crushing. For African palm fruits, a knife gap of 2 - 3 mm is recommended to prevent blockages. Additionally, choosing knives with sharp edges can improve the crushing efficiency.

Cooking Process

Designing the right cooking temperature curve is essential, especially in Africa where there is a high risk of coking. A slow - rising temperature curve, starting from 80°C and gradually reaching 100 - 105°C, can prevent coking and ensure uniform cooking.

The Value of Non - Standard Customization

Non - standard customization is highly valuable in palm oil processing, especially in extreme climates. Using rust - resistant materials like 304 stainless steel can extend the lifespan of the equipment. An automatic adjustment system can also ensure the equipment's adaptability in extreme climates, such as high humidity in Africa.

Common Fault Diagnosis Guide
