Proses Pengolahan Kelapa Sawit

Summary

This video explains the intricate process of palm oil production, beginning with fresh fruit bunches and ending with the extraction of crude palm oil (CPO) and palm kernel. The process includes steps such as fruit collection, pressing, refining, and separating the palm kernel. The palm fruit is initially processed through various machines, such as the tire scrapper and MT Banf, which extract oil from the fruit. The palm kernels undergo a detailed separation and drying process before being sent to refining stages. The final product, CPO, is processed to meet quality standards for sale.

Takeaways

• 😀 The palm oil processing process begins with fresh fruit bunches and involves multiple stages, including handling empty fruit bunches (jangkos) and ripe fruit.
• 😀 The first step in processing involves separating the empty bunches (jangkos) from the fruit, which are then sent for further processing.
• 😀 A tire scrapper machine is used to destroy the empty bunches, making it easier to collect and process the loose fruit.
• 😀 After the empty bunches are crushed, the fruit is boiled and sent for pressing.
• 😀 The press machine uses warm screws and hydraulic pressure to extract crude palm oil, which is sent to the refining station.
• 😀 The separated fibers and nuts are sent to the kernel station for further processing, where nuts are separated from fibers.
• 😀 The nut polishing drum removes the remaining fine fibers from the nuts, making them ready for further processing.
• 😀 The nuts are then processed in a ripple mill, where they are cracked open to separate the kernel from the shell.
• 😀 The kernel is further separated from the shell in a series of machines (LTDS1, LTDS2, and hydrocyclones), ultimately arriving at the kernel silo for drying.
• 😀 After drying, the kernels are sent to the kernel hopper before being refined into palm kernel oil.
• 😀 The crude oil is sent to a clarification station, where it undergoes several steps like centrifuging, vibrating screens, and settling tanks to remove impurities and achieve the desired quality before it is stored as CPO (Crude Palm Oil).

Q & A

What is the first stage in the palm oil processing process?

The first stage involves processing fresh fruit bunches to separate the empty fruit bunches (jangkos) and ripe fruit (berondolan).

How are the empty fruit bunches (jangkos) processed?

The empty fruit bunches are destroyed using a tire scrapper machine, making it easier to collect and press the fruit.

What happens to the loose fruit (mogol fruit) that remains after the jangkos are separated?

The loose fruit is collected again, boiled, and sent to the next stage of processing.

What is the role of the MT Banf machine in the palm oil processing?

The MT Banf machine squeezes the jangkos to separate the oil, which is then sent to the refining station.

How is the fruit pulp processed after being crushed in the digester?

The fruit pulp is squeezed in a press machine, where warm screws rotate to apply pressure and extract oil from the fruit powder.

What happens to the crude oil after being extracted from the press machine?

The crude oil is sent to the clarification or refining station, while the remaining fresh fiber cake is directed to the kernel station.

How are nuts and fibers separated in the kernel station?

A debeader carper uses a cyclone and suction system to separate lighter fibers from the heavier nuts, which are then polished and further processed.

What is the function of the ripple mill in the kernel processing?

The ripple mill grinds the nuts, cracking them to separate the kernel from the shell.

What happens after the kernel and shell are separated in the LTDS1 and LTDS2 machines?

The separated kernels are sent to the kernel silo to reduce moisture, while the shells are used as fuel in the boiler.

How is oil purified in the clarification or refining station?

The oil goes through several stages, including centrifugal separation, sedimentation, and filtration, to remove impurities like sand, sludge, and water before reaching the final oil storage tank.
