Complete Palm Oil Processing Plant Solution

Palm oil (CPO) is extracted from the mesocarp (fruit flesh) through sterilization, threshing, digestion and pressing. Palm kernel oil comes from the inner seed after kernel cracking — a separate process line. Most integrated mills process both for maximum revenue from each fresh fruit bunch.

Palm oil uses fresh fruit bunches, not dry seeds. The process requires sterilization and threshing before pressing — steps that do not exist in peanut, soybean or sunflower lines. Equipment, layout and utilities (steam, water) are designed specifically for palm mill operations.

Well-run mills typically achieve 20–24% crude palm oil from fresh fruit bunch weight, depending on fruit ripeness, variety and process efficiency. Mesocarp oil content is 45–55% of fruit weight. Kernel recovery adds 4–6% additional oil equivalent from nuts.

Investment depends on daily capacity, sterilizer type and refining scope. A 10 TPD commercial mill with sterilization, pressing and clarification typically ranges from USD 180,000–350,000 (equipment only). A 30 TPD plant with refinery may range from USD 500,000–900,000. Share your FFB supply and country for a detailed quotation within 48 hours.

5–20 TPD is the most requested range for estate mills and cooperative projects in Africa and Southeast Asia. Investors with established plantations often start at 10–15 TPD and expand refinery capacity once CPO sales are proven. We help match capacity to your annual FFB harvest.

Yes. We supply engineering design, equipment manufacturing, shipping, installation supervision, commissioning and operator training. Turnkey scope can include civil works guidance, steam boiler integration and refinery process optimization. Share your capacity, country and FFB supply source for a detailed proposal.
