Introduction of Henan Glory's different palm fruit sterilization equipment

Palm fruit sterilization equipment is a key equipment in the palm oil production process. It is used to sterilize fresh palm fruit bunches to ensure the product quality of palm oil. It has three functions: (1) The fruit is easy to separate the fruit bunch; (2) The fruit becomes soft, increasing the moisture of the fruit, so it is easy to extract the oil, and the palm kernel is also easy to separate the shell. (3) Prevent lipase from decomposing, avoid the increase of free fatty acid content, and ensure the quality of crude oil.

Henan Glory, as a leading supplier of palm oil production equipment, can provide different palm fruit sterilization equipment for palm oil mills with different production capacities. The following will analyze their differences one by one to help you make a wise investment decision.

For large palm oil production mills, Henan Glory Company can provide two different palm fruit sterilization equipment: large vertical palm fruit sterilization equipment and horizontal palm fruit sterilization equipment. They differ in the following aspects:

Large vertical palm fruit sterilization equipment and horizontal palm fruit sterilization equipment

1. Space Occupation

(1) Large Vertical palm fruit sterilization equipment: It occupies a small area but has a high height requirement. It is suitable for palm oil production factories with limited space or vertical layout.

(2) Horizontal palm fruit sterilization equipment: It occupies a large area, has a long length requirement and a low height requirement. It is suitable for palm oil production factories with spacious sites.

2. Structural Layout

(1) Large Vertical palm fruit sterilization equipment: It is a vertically placed tall cylindrical tank.

(2) Horizontal palm fruit sterilization equipment: It is a horizontally placed long cylindrical jar, composed of multiple small trolleys.

3. Automation and Manpower

(1) Large Vertical palm fruit sterilization equipment: It has a high degree of automation, automatic door opening function and requires less manpower.

(2) Horizontal palm fruit sterilization equipment: It has a relatively low degree of automation and more manpower required.

4. Investment Cost

The investment cost of a horizontal palm fruit sterilization equipment is usually higher than that of a large vertical palm fruit sterilization equipment, which is determined by many factors such as its design structure, manufacturing process, material usage, supporting systems and safety requirements.

5. Oil Quality

The oil quality of horizontal palm fruit sterilization equipment is relatively better, because when steam is passed during the palm fruit sterilization process, some water will be generated in the palm fruit sterilization equipment, and there are holes designed under the trolley for drainage.

6. Fruit Bunch Damage

(1) Large Vertical palm fruit sterilization equipment: The unloading process (especially gravity drop) may cause a certain degree of collision damage to the fruit bunch.

(2) Horizontal palm fruit sterilization equipment: The fruit bunch is laid flat in the trolleys, and the unloading process is relatively smoother, with a lower risk of damage.

For small palm oil production mills, Henan Glory Company can provide three different palm fruit sterilization equipment: boiling palm fruit sterilization equipment, steaming palm fruit sterilization equipment and vertical steam palm fruit sterilization equipment. Here are their differences:

1. Boiling palm fruit sterilization equipment: The processing capacity is generally 1-2t/h. It does not require a boiler. It directly burns hot water to generate steam for heating. The palm fruit sterilization time is 90-120 minutes. Generally, a crane is used to lift the palm fruit cage.

2. Steaming palm fruit sterilization equipment: Equipped with an automatic door steaming pot, it needs a boiler and steam heating. The palm fruit sterilization time is 60-90 minutes. Generally, the palm fruit cage is lifted by a crane.

3. Vertical steam palm fruit sterilization equipment: It needs a boiler and is heated by the peripheral heating coil. It is more efficient and the sterilization time is 60-90 minutes. It does not contain fruit cages and palm fruits are generally transported directly by scraper conveyors. It has a high degree of automation.

Vertical steam palm fruit sterilization equipment

In summary, if your palm oil production plant has limited space, pursues high energy efficiency, has a small to medium-sized processing scale, or requires flexible configuration, vertical palm fruit sterilization equipment is an efficient and economical ideal choice. If your palm oil production plant has a spacious site, requires large-scale centralized processing, attaches importance to low damage rate of fruit bunches, horizontal palm fruit sterilization equipment is more suitable for your palm oil production.
