Small and medium-scale palm oil production enterprises often face a series of challenges when selecting refining equipment. One of the main pain points is the high energy consumption, which not only increases production costs but also goes against the trend of environmental protection. Additionally, limited human resources require equipment that can achieve high productivity with a small number of operators. This article will delve into the core technical indicators of efficient and energy-saving palm oil refining equipment to provide valuable references for equipment selection.
When it comes to energy consumption, soft water usage, steam, and electricity consumption are the key factors. Let's first look at soft water usage. In traditional palm oil refining equipment, the average soft water consumption per ton of palm oil can reach about 5 - 8 cubic meters. However, the latest efficient and energy-saving equipment has reduced this figure to only 2 - 3 cubic meters per ton, a significant reduction of 60% - 75%. This reduction not only saves water resources but also reduces the cost associated with water treatment.
Regarding steam and electricity consumption, compared with the industry standard where steam consumption is around 0.8 - 1.2 tons per ton of palm oil and electricity consumption is about 80 - 120 kWh per ton, the new equipment has achieved steam consumption of only 0.5 - 0.7 tons per ton of palm oil and electricity consumption of 50 - 70 kWh per ton. These data clearly show the energy-saving advantages of the new equipment.
The PLC intelligent control system is a highlight of the new palm oil refining equipment. It can precisely control various parameters in the refining process, such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate. Through real - time monitoring and adjustment, the system ensures the stable operation of the equipment and improves the quality of the refined palm oil. According to actual production data, with the PLC intelligent control system, the product qualification rate can be increased from about 90% to over 95%.
In addition, the equipment is also equipped with multiple national patent technologies. These technologies not only enhance the stability of the equipment but also contribute to the improvement of production capacity. For example, a certain patented separation technology can increase the separation efficiency by about 20%, thereby increasing the overall production capacity of the equipment.
Considering the limited human resources of small and medium - scale enterprises, the new equipment is designed with a high degree of automation. It can be operated by only 2 - 3 people. The engineering design logic behind this is based on the integration of various functions and the optimization of the operation process. For example, through the use of automated feeding and discharging systems, the need for manual intervention is greatly reduced. At the same time, the intelligent control system can also provide timely warnings and guidance, enabling operators to handle problems quickly and efficiently.
Let's take a look at some real - world customer cases. A small - scale palm oil factory in Malaysia installed the new efficient and energy - saving refining equipment. Before the installation, the factory had a daily production capacity of about 50 tons of refined palm oil with a production cost of about $200 per ton. After using the new equipment for six months, the daily production capacity increased to 70 tons, and the production cost dropped to about $150 per ton. This shows that the new equipment can not only improve production efficiency but also significantly reduce costs.
| Factory | Before Installation | After Installation |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Production Capacity (tons) | 50 | 70 |
| Production Cost ($/ton) | 200 | 150 |
Overall, the efficient and energy - saving palm oil refining equipment offers significant advantages in terms of energy consumption, production capacity, and manpower utilization.
