1. Product Details

Palm Oil Fractionation Equipment

The palm oil fractionation equipment is a specialized processing system designed to separate refined palm oil into different fractions with specific melting points and applications.

Through controlled cooling crystallization and filtration separation technology, the system separates palm oil into valuable fractions, mainly Palm Olein (liquid fraction) and Palm Stearin (solid fraction).

The equipment adopts advanced temperature control technology to achieve precise crystallization and efficient separation, ensuring high product quality, stable operation and low oil loss.

The complete palm oil fractionation system is widely used in palm oil processing plants to produce customized palm oil fractions for cooking oil, margarine, shortening and other food industries.

2. Processing Flow

1. Oil Preparation

Refined palm oil is heated and prepared to ensure uniform composition before fractionation.

2. Controlled Cooling Crystallization

The palm oil is gradually cooled according to a specific temperature curve.

During the cooling process, different triglyceride components form crystals based on their melting points.

3. Crystal Growth

The crystallization process is carefully controlled to produce suitable crystal sizes and improve separation efficiency.

4. Filtration Separation

The crystallized mixture enters the filtration system.

Through pressure filtration, palm oil is separated into:

Palm Olein

(Liquid Fraction)

• Low melting point
• Good fluidity
• Mainly used for cooking oil production

Palm Stearin

(Solid Fraction)

• Higher melting point
• Good solid fat properties
• Mainly used for margarine, shortening and bakery fats
