Separating palm kernels from their shells is a key step in palm oil processing. Based on practical experience, there are three main methods for this separation—including traditional practices and advanced technical solutions. Henan Glory Company will elaborate on each method for you.
1. Traditional Water Separation Method in Nigeria
In Nigeria, local people commonly use the water separation method to separate palm kernels and shells. This is a manual process that requires significant labor input, leading to high labor costs. Additionally, the palm kernels retain substantial moisture after separation, which can impact the quality of the resulting palm kernel oil.
2. Crushing + Manual Separation Method
Some users first use a palm kernel crushing machine to husk palm nuts, then rely on workers to separate kernels and shells using sieves. This method also has low efficiency. Some customers have reported using vibrating screens for separation, but the results are unsatisfactory due to the similar weight of palm kernels and shells—gravity alone is insufficient for effective separation, resulting in a low separation rate.
3. DOING Palm Kernel Cracker and Shell Separator System
To address the challenges of difficult separation and low production efficiency, engineers at Henan Glory Company conducted extensive research and testing to develop the palm kernel cracker and shell separator system.
This system combines gravity and air separation technologies, leveraging differences in weight and force-bearing area between kernels and shells. During operation, palm kernels fall downward under gravity, while shells are lifted to the top by airflow and discharged through a dedicated outlet. The entire process is fully automatic, resolving issues related to separation efficiency and automation.
The DOING Brand palm kernel cracker and shell separator system has been exported to numerous countries, including Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Uganda.
