Tahap-tahap pengolahan TBS menjadi CPO dan Kernel | Palm Oil

Summary

This video provides a detailed walkthrough of the palm oil milling process, covering each stage from the arrival of fresh fruit bunches (TBS) to the final distribution of crude palm oil (CPO). It describes the sorting, sterilization, threshing, pressing, and separation processes, as well as the steps for extracting and refining the oil. The video also touches on the use of byproducts for energy generation and the storage of oil before distribution to refineries. The intricate process showcases the complex systems in place to efficiently produce CPO from palm fruit.

Takeaways

• 😀 The palm oil production process begins with the weighing of the fruit before it enters the loading ramp for sorting.
• 😀 Trucks carrying palm fruits go through a weighing stage and then proceed to a sorting area where the fruits are separated based on quality.
• 😀 After sorting, the palm fruits are stored temporarily before entering the sterilization stage where they are steamed in sterilizers.
• 😀 The sterilization process is powered by hydraulic control systems, with four sterilizers in use during this stage.
• 😀 After sterilization, the fruits move to the thresher station where a drum separates the fruits from their bunches.
• 😀 The empty fruit bunches are then processed in a press to extract any remaining oil, after which the bunches are burned to create ash.
• 😀 The extracted crude oil goes through a vibrating screen to filter out impurities such as fibers and debris.
• 😀 The fruit pulp is processed in a digester, which softens the fruit to facilitate the extraction of oil using a screw press.
• 😀 Once the fruit pulp has been processed, the kernel is separated from the shell using a centrifugal method, with the kernel further refined to remove moisture.
• 😀 The extracted oil is transferred through a series of tanks and filters to remove any remaining particles and water before being stored in the final oil storage tank for distribution.

Q & A

What is the initial step in the palm oil processing plant?

The initial step involves weighing the palm fruit bunch (TBS) before it enters the loading ramp area.

What happens to the palm fruit after it is weighed?

After weighing, the palm fruit is directed towards the loading ramp for sorting, where unwanted fruit is removed using cover reading.

What is the purpose of the sterilizer in the processing plant?

The sterilizer's role is to steam the palm fruit bunches, softening the fruit for easier extraction of the oil.

How is the fruit separated from the bunch in the processing plant?

The fruit is separated from the bunch using a thresher, which utilizes a rotating drum to knock the fruit off the bunches.

What happens to the empty fruit bunches after the fruit is separated?

The empty bunches are sent to the empty bunch press, which breaks them down into fibers and recovers any remaining oil.

What is the role of the vibrating screen in the process?

The vibrating screen filters out impurities like fibers and debris from the crude palm oil obtained from the pressing process.

How are the kernels extracted from the fruit?

The kernels are separated from the fruit using a ripple mill, which breaks open the fruit to release the kernel.

What happens to the separated kernels after they are extracted?

The separated kernels are dried in a kernel silo to reduce moisture content before further processing.

What is done with the fiber produced during the palm oil extraction process?

The fiber is transported to a boiler station where it is used as fuel for generating energy in the plant.

How is crude palm oil further purified after being extracted?

The crude oil undergoes a series of filtration and settling processes to remove impurities, followed by drying to reduce moisture before it is stored.
