Choosing the Right Palm Kernel Oil Processing Equipment for Your Production Scale

Whether you're running a small-scale operation or managing a high-volume plant, selecting the correct palm kernel oil extraction and refining system is critical to maximizing efficiency, ensuring safety, and securing long-term ROI. At Penguin Group, we’ve helped over 120 clients across Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East optimize their production lines—from 5 tons/day to 500 tons/day—with proven equipment configurations tailored to real-world conditions.

Match Capacity with Smart Design

For capacities under 50 tons/day, modular systems with automated screw presses and solvent extraction units (like our PK-50 model) offer flexibility without compromising yield. These setups reduce labor costs by up to 35% compared to manual methods, according to field data from our Malaysian partner plants.

Installation That Works—Not Just Looks Good

Proper installation isn’t just about placing machines—it’s about integrating them safely into your facility. Our engineers recommend:

• Minimum 2-meter clearance around each unit for maintenance access (per OSHA standards)
• Electrical grounding resistance < 4 ohms to prevent static discharge risks
• Use of food-grade stainless steel piping (SS304/316L) for all liquid transfer lines

In one case study from Nigeria, improper pipe alignment caused a 17% drop in throughput during initial startup. After reconfiguration following our technical guidelines, output increased within 48 hours—proving that precision matters more than speed.

Preventive Maintenance = Long-Term Profitability

Our clients who follow our monthly inspection checklist report an average 40% reduction in unplanned downtime. Key actions include:

1. Check hydraulic pressure weekly (target: 12–15 MPa)
2. Lubricate bearings every 3 months using food-safe grease
3. Calibrate sensors biannually for accurate temperature & flow monitoring

We also provide remote diagnostics via our IoT-enabled dashboard—so even if you’re in Indonesia, our team can spot issues before they become failures.

At Penguin Group, we don’t just sell machines—we build partnerships. From design to commissioning, our technical support team stays with you until your first batch meets quality targets.
