Fractionation Plant For Palm Oil Manufacturer, Supplier
In edible oil processing, a fractionation process consists of a controlled cooling of the oil, thereby inducing a partial, or ‘fractional’, crystallization. The remaining liquid (olein) is then separated from the solid fraction (stearin) by means of ?ltration process.
Fractionation is the process where the crystallization of saturated triglyceride takes place in a mechanical equipment called the crystallizer. Crystallized oil is further passed through a filter where separation of solid and liquid phase takes place. Solid phase remains in the chamber. Liquid phase comes out through the taps and is collected in the storage tank.
Entire process takes place in several steps which including: Oil heating, oil charging, and crystallization, filtration, squeezing and cleaning of filter.
