Small and medium-sized palm oil mills often face a series of challenges in their daily operations. Among these, the most prominent issues are labor shortages, high energy consumption, and low efficiency. These problems not only increase production costs but also limit the growth and development of these mills.
In the traditional palm oil refining process, a large number of workers are required to operate various equipment and monitor production processes. This not only leads to high labor costs but also increases the risk of human error. In addition, the high energy consumption of traditional equipment, such as high steam consumption and electricity consumption, also brings heavy economic burdens to enterprises. At the same time, low production efficiency makes it difficult for these mills to meet market demand in a timely manner, affecting their market competitiveness.
Compared with the industry average, high - efficiency and energy - saving palm oil refining equipment has significant advantages in core parameters. For example, in terms of steam consumption, the steam consumption of this equipment is less than 300 kg/ton of oil, while the industry average is often higher. In terms of electricity consumption, it only consumes 22 kWh/ton of oil, which is far lower than the industry average. In addition, the soft water consumption of this equipment is also well - controlled, which further reduces production costs.
| Parameter | High - efficiency Equipment | Industry Average |
|---|---|---|
| Steam consumption (kg/ton of oil) | <300 | >350 |
| Electricity consumption (kWh/ton of oil) | 22 | >30 |
| Soft water consumption | Well - controlled | Relatively high |
The application of PLC intelligent control system and a number of national patent technologies has greatly improved the automation level of palm oil refining equipment. The PLC intelligent control system can accurately control various production processes, ensuring the stability and consistency of product quality. At the same time, the national patent technologies used in the equipment, such as unique refining processes and equipment structures, further enhance the automation and reliability of the equipment. These technologies not only reduce the need for manual operation but also improve production efficiency and product quality.
The design of the fully automatic palm oil refining line allows it to be operated by only 2 - 3 people. This is mainly due to its integrated process design, fault self - diagnosis function, and one - key start - stop design logic. The integrated process design combines multiple production processes, reducing the number of equipment and the complexity of operation. The fault self - diagnosis function can quickly detect and alarm equipment failures, enabling operators to take timely measures. The one - key start - stop design simplifies the operation process, allowing operators to start and stop the entire production line with just one button.
Through customer cases and data charts, we can clearly see the actual operation effect of this fully automatic palm oil refining line. In a certain small - scale palm oil mill, after using this equipment, the number of operators was reduced from the original 8 - 10 people to 2 - 3 people, while the production efficiency increased by 30%. At the same time, the product quality has also been significantly improved, achieving stable and high - yield production with consistent quality.
The engineering design of this fully automatic palm oil refining line is highly suitable for small and medium - sized factories. It takes into account the actual situation of these factories, such as limited human resources and production scale, and provides a practical solution. By using this equipment, small and medium - sized palm oil mills can achieve efficient and energy - saving production in a limited human resource environment, truly realizing the 'less - human' production concept.
