Why Is Your Palm Oil Pressing Equipment Consuming Too Much Energy?

If you're running a palm oil processing plant, you know the pain point: high output often comes at the cost of excessive energy use. But what if we told you that you can achieve both high yield and low consumption—without sacrificing quality or safety?

“After implementing the heat recovery system from Penguin Group, our monthly electricity bill dropped by 18%. That’s not just savings—it’s a competitive edge.” —— Mr. Ahmed, Operations Manager, Indonesia Palm Processing Co.

Three Proven Technologies That Cut Energy Use by Up to 18%

The key lies in three core innovations:

• Heat Recovery System: Captures waste heat from press discharge and reuses it for preheating incoming raw material—reducing thermal input by up to 22%.
• Smart Automation Logic: Real-time monitoring adjusts screw speed, pressure, and temperature based on feed consistency—preventing overloading and inefficiency.
• Optimized Screw & Screen Design: Reduces friction and improves oil extraction efficiency, lowering mechanical resistance by ~15% compared to standard models.

In one real-world case study with a Malaysian mill, these combined technologies led to an average reduction of 18.3% in specific energy consumption (kWh/kg oil) within six months—while increasing daily throughput by 7%. No downtime. No compromise.

Common Mistakes That Waste Energy (And How to Fix Them)

Many operators make the same error: turning up the screw speed to boost production. But here’s the truth—more speed ≠ more output. In fact, it increases motor load, causes premature wear, and spikes energy costs.

Instead, focus on optimizing process parameters using data-driven control logic. For example, maintaining a consistent feed rate and adjusting torque settings according to moisture content can reduce unnecessary power draw by up to 12%.
