2) How many tons do you want to process one day?

Before buying palm oil refining machine, you also need to confirm your processing capacity. Make sure your supply of crude palm oil can meet your continuous production needs. One reason to know this information is that at present, there are three kinds of palm oil refining machines can be chose, they are: batch type palm oil refining machine(processing capacity ≤20TPD), semi-continuous type palm oil refining (processing capacity:10-50TPD) and full continuous type palm oil refining machine(processing capacity≥30TPD). The investment of batch type refining is lower, convenience to change and refine various crude oils. It is simple to operate and has sufficient operating time, however the waste is high, more labor intensity, low efficiency, and low energy utilization. Full continuous refining has large investment and high energy consumption utilization. The product quality is stable and good. It requires fewer personnel and high efficiency, but it is a little slow to change the oils than batch type. Semi-continuous refining is between batch type and full continuous type. As a professional palm oil refining machine supplier , we need to recommend suitable palm oil refining machine type according to your needs.

Another reason to know this information is that we can maximize energy utilization, usually, we recommend that you run the palm oil refinery plant for a month, and then have a rest to overhauling the equipment.
