Oil Filter Press

In Palm oil Refinery and down stream fractionation and specialty fats processing industry, the fully automated side bars designed membrane filter presses are used to separate various types of Palm stearine from Palm olein in crystallised slurry palm oil fractionation processes. Fractionation of palm oil can be described as follow. The triglycerides found in the oil have different melting points. At certain temperature, the lower melting temperature triglycerides will crystallize into solid separating the oils into both liquid (Olein) and solid (Stearin) fraction. The fraction can then be separated by filtration.
