BTMA-What Way is the Modern Palm Oil Processing?

Modern oil processing involves use of palm oil production plant. With an advanced automated oil mill plant and machinery the process is faster and more efficient. The mechanical thresher separates fruits and the bunches through vibration and rotating. Heat is used for partial cooking the fruit to stop enzymatic reactions which are responsible for mesocarp cell disruption through oxidation.

Palm oil production through palm oil production plant saves labor costs. Costs involved such as electricity costs, machinery maintenance, machine replacement costs are comparatively very minimal. The maintenance cost is approximately 2 percent. Machine replacement costs also accounts for about 2 percent where the machine has a lifespan of 20 years.

Palm Oil Facts

produce red palm oil for cooking purpose Palm oil is a tropical crop that produces oil from mesocarp and palm kernel oil gotten from the seeds. The oil is rich in a vitamin A or carotene. It is used for cooking and as raw materials in manufacture of many products some of them being: detergents and soaps, confectionery, margarine, candle, epoxy resins, cosmetics, lubricants and pomades. There are other uses such as the palm kernel extracts are used as additives during manufacture of livestock feed. Palm wine is also a product made from the inflorescent male palm.

Every part oil palm has some economic value and hence a palm oil mill plant is a great asset. For instance, the leaves are used to make thatch for house roofing purposes. The leaves rachises are very good fencing materials, building reinforcing materials basket making materials. The leaflets midribs make very good broom materials. The soft tissue and the apical bud are edible and hence make a very delicious meal.
