Milling Efficiency Survey by MPOB

The survey classified the mills based on the total oil losses from five sampling points (empty fruit bunches, steriliser condensate, sludge water from separator, press cake fibre and percentage of unstripped bunches) which are ;

• Poor Performing Mills 24%  :   > 1.8% oil loss
• Average Performing Mills 58%  :   1.3% - 1.8% oil loss
• Good Performing Mills 18%  :   < 1.3% oil loss
