Palm oil sterilization machine: key technology to improve quality and efficiency

In the production  of palm oil, sterilization is a crucial step, which directly affects the quality and safety of the final product. With the advancement of technology, palm oil sterilization machines are becoming more and more widely used. They ensure the sanitation and safety of palm oil through efficient sterilization technology, and also improve production efficiency.

1. The importance of palm oil sterilization

Palm oil is squeezed from palm fruits on oil palm trees. The sterilization step in its processing is to remove possible microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, etc., to ensure the sanitation and safety of oil products. Incomplete sterilization may cause the oil to deteriorate, affect its taste and nutritional value, and may even pose a threat to consumer health.

2. Working principle of palm oil sterilization machine

Palm oil sterilization machines usually use high-temperature sterilization technology to kill microorganisms by heating the oil to a certain temperature and keeping it for a certain time. For example, Nanhua tubular high-temperature sterilizer uses instant high-temperature sterilization technology to raise the temperature of food materials to 75-85℃ and keep it for a certain time to achieve the purpose of sterilization. This high-temperature treatment can effectively kill microorganisms in the material while maintaining the nutritional content and taste of the food as much as possible.

3. Application of palm oil sterilization machine

In the production chain of palm oil, sterilization machines are used in multiple links. For example, in the processing of palm fruit, steam at about 120°C is used to sterilize the fruit bunches to separate the fruit and dehydrate it by 10%. In addition, supercritical carbon dioxide technology is also used in the sterilization of fresh fruit bunches of oil palm. This technology is carried out at relatively low temperatures (≤60°C) and medium pressures (8-40 MPa), which can effectively inactivate enzymes and microorganisms without generating residual waste.

4. Advantages of palm oil sterilization machine

The use of palm oil sterilization machines can not only improve the safety of production, but also improve the quality of oil products. For example, through precise temperature and time control, the sterilization needs of different foods can be met in a personalized manner. In addition, the tubular structure design allows the material to be evenly distributed with heat during the sterilization process, effectively improving the sterilization effect, while reducing the equipment footprint, reducing energy consumption, and improving production efficiency.

5. Market Trends and Future Development

With the continuous growth of global demand for palm oil, the market potential of sterilization machines is huge. Technological innovation, such as the application of supercritical carbon dioxide technology, will promote the palm oil processing industry to a higher, deeper and wider level. At the same time, green production and sustainable development will also become important trends in the industry, and the design and manufacture of sterilization machines will also pay more attention to environmental protection and energy saving.

In summary, palm oil sterilization machines are key equipment to ensure the quality and safety of palm oil. With the continuous advancement of Huatai technology, our machines will be more efficient and environmentally friendly, providing strong support for the development of the palm oil industry.
