Palm Oil Production Project
Voson Machinery provides complete turnkey palm oil production line designed for high efficiency, stable output, and premium oil quality. Our solutions cover the entire process from fresh fruit bunch (FFB) handling, sterilization, threshing, pressing, clarification, to refining and packaging. With decades of experience in palm oil engineering, Voson ensures each plant is optimized for local raw material conditions, energy availability, and labor skills, delivering reliable and scalable projects.
Process Flow of Palm Oil Production Line
Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) Handling
Fresh palm fruit bunches are mechanically unloaded, weighed, and transported to the sterilization area.
Sterilization
FFBs are sterilized with high-pressure steam to loosen fruit from bunches, inactivate enzymes, and improve oil extraction efficiency.
Threshing
Sterilized bunches are fed into a mechanical thresher to separate palm fruits from the bunch stalks.
Fruit Digestion and Pressing
Separated fruits are crushed and digested to release crude palm oil. Mechanical screw presses or hydraulic presses extract the oil.
Clarification
Crude palm oil is clarified using settling tanks or centrifuges to remove water, solids, and impurities.
Filtration and Refining
The clarified oil undergoes degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization to meet edible oil standards.
Storage and Packaging
Refined palm oil is stored in stainless steel tanks and packaged for local consumption or export.
