Palm oil is one of the most important vegetable oils in the world, and its production is mainly concentrated in Asia, Africa, and South America. Penguin Group's palm oil pressing and refining equipment has been widely used in these regions. This article will focus on the pre - treatment adaptability of Penguin Group's equipment in these three major producing areas.
In Asia, the climate is mainly tropical and subtropical, with high humidity and abundant rainfall. The palm fruits here usually have a relatively high moisture content, around 30% - 40%. In Africa, the climate varies from tropical rainforest to semi - arid, and the moisture content of palm fruits is between 25% - 35%. South America has a tropical climate, and the moisture content of palm fruits is approximately 28% - 38%. In addition, the impurity content in palm fruits also varies in different regions.
Due to the different impurity contents in palm fruits from different regions, the cleaning process needs to be adjusted accordingly. For example, in regions with high impurity content, a more thorough cleaning process is required. The cleaning equipment of Penguin Group can adjust the water flow and cleaning time according to the actual situation, which can effectively remove impurities such as soil, leaves, and stones. In Asia, where the impurity content is relatively high, the cleaning efficiency can reach over 95%.
The crushing process is crucial for subsequent oil extraction. The crushing equipment of Penguin Group can adjust the crushing degree according to the moisture content and hardness of palm fruits. In Africa, where the palm fruits are relatively hard, the equipment can use a higher - pressure crushing method to ensure that the palm fruits are fully crushed. The crushing rate can reach more than 98%.
Steaming is an important step to improve oil extraction efficiency. The steaming equipment of Penguin Group is equipped with an automatic temperature control system, which can adjust the steaming temperature according to the moisture content of palm fruits. In South America, with a relatively high moisture content, the equipment can maintain the steaming temperature at 90 - 100°C for about 30 - 40 minutes, which can effectively improve the oil yield.
Penguin Group uses high - quality antirust materials for its non - standard customized equipment. In humid climates such as Asia, these materials can effectively prevent the equipment from rusting, and the service life of the equipment can be extended by more than 30% compared with ordinary materials.
The automatic temperature control system can adapt to different climate conditions. It can accurately control the temperature in the equipment, ensuring that the palm fruits are processed under the most suitable conditions in different regions. For example, in the hot and humid climate of Africa, the system can prevent over - heating and ensure stable operation of the equipment.
Clogging is a common problem in palm fruit pre - treatment. The main reasons include excessive impurity content, improper crushing degree, and blockage of pipelines. Penguin Group provides a fault diagnosis logic tree for clogging. By following this logic tree, operators can quickly find the root cause of the problem. For example, if the clogging occurs in the cleaning equipment, it may be due to excessive impurities. By increasing the cleaning intensity, the problem can be solved. In actual cases, after using the fault diagnosis logic tree, the time for solving clogging problems has been reduced by more than 50%.
Uneven oil output is mainly caused by uneven crushing, improper steaming, or problems with the oil extraction equipment. The fault diagnosis logic tree for uneven oil output provided by Penguin Group can help operators find the problem step by step. For example, if the oil output is uneven after steaming, it may be because the steaming temperature is not uniform. By adjusting the automatic temperature control system, the problem can be solved.
In conclusion, Penguin Group's palm oil pressing and refining equipment has strong adaptability in different regions. Through reasonable technical adjustment measures and excellent equipment performance, it can help palm oil processing plants optimize the pre - treatment process, reduce the failure rate, and improve the quality and output of refined oil.
