How can small and medium-sized palm oil mills improve production capacity and quality consistency with only 2 - 3 operators? This article delves into the core technical indicators of high - efficiency and energy - saving refining equipment. By comparing steam consumption (<300kg/ton of oil), power consumption (22kWh/ton of oil), and soft water usage (160kg/h) against industry standards, it reveals how PLC intelligent control and national patented processes achieve stable operation, environmental protection, and energy conservation. Combined with real - world application cases, it details why only 2 - 3 employees are needed to complete the entire production process, helping small and medium - sized enterprises significantly improve efficiency and product consistency with limited manpower, and providing practical technical references for equipment selection.

Challenges Faced by Small and Medium-sized Palm Oil Factories

Small and medium-sized palm oil factories often grapple with several critical issues. High energy consumption is a significant concern. Traditional refining equipment in these factories typically consumes a large amount of steam, electricity, and soft water. For instance, the industry average steam consumption can reach over 350kg/ton of oil, electricity consumption can be around 25kWh/ton of oil, and soft water usage can exceed 180kg/h. These high consumption levels not only increase production costs but also put a strain on the environment.

Another major pain point is the high labor cost. Many small and medium-sized factories rely on a relatively large number of workers to operate the production process. With the rising cost of labor, this has become a heavy burden on the enterprises. Moreover, the quality of palm oil products often fluctuates. Due to the lack of advanced control systems and stable production processes, the quality of the final products can vary significantly, which affects the market competitiveness of the factories.

The Advantages of High - efficiency and Energy - saving Refining Equipment

The high - efficiency and energy - saving refining equipment offers a solution to these problems. Let's take a look at the key data. This equipment has a steam consumption of less than 300kg/ton of oil, an electricity consumption of only 22kWh/ton of oil, and a soft water usage of 160kg/h. These figures clearly show that the "low - energy consumption" claim is not just a slogan but a quantifiable achievement.

The core of this equipment lies in its PLC intelligent control system and a number of national patented technologies. The PLC intelligent control system can precisely monitor and adjust various parameters in the production process, such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate. This ensures the stability of the production process and reduces the influence of human factors on product quality. The national patented technologies, on the other hand, optimize the refining process, making it more efficient and environmentally friendly.

How PLC and Patented Technologies Work Together

The PLC intelligent control system collects real - time data from various sensors in the equipment. Based on pre - set algorithms, it can automatically adjust the operation of the equipment to maintain the best production conditions. For example, if the temperature of the oil is too high, the PLC system will adjust the steam supply to lower the temperature. The national patented technologies improve the reaction efficiency in the refining process, reduce the consumption of auxiliary materials, and at the same time, improve the quality of the final product.

Real - world Application Cases

Let's take a look at a real - world application case. A small palm oil factory in Malaysia used to have a production process that required more than 8 workers. After installing this high - efficiency and energy - saving refining equipment, they were able to complete the entire production process with only 2 - 3 workers. This is mainly because the high degree of automation of the equipment reduces the need for manual intervention. The stable operation of the PLC control system and the optimized process ensure that the production can proceed smoothly with minimal human supervision.

"Since we installed this new equipment, our production efficiency has increased by 30%, and the product quality has become much more consistent. We are very satisfied with the investment." - A customer from a palm oil factory

Certification and Reliability

This high - efficiency and energy - saving refining equipment has passed the ISO9001 certification. This certification not only guarantees the quality and reliability of the equipment but also ensures the safety of the production process. For small and medium - sized palm oil factories, investing in such certified equipment means a more reliable return on investment and a safer production environment.

ISO9001 certification of the refining equipment

Many enterprises are using this high - efficiency and energy - saving refining equipment to break through their production bottlenecks. If you are also facing challenges such as high energy consumption, high labor cost, and unstable product quality in your palm oil production, it's time to think about whether this advanced equipment is the solution you need.
