PALM OIL MILL DESIGN - KERNEL RECOVERY STATION

Key points to consider for design of kernel recovery station ;

NUT SILO AND HEATER

• nut to FFB ratio - 12%
• drying time - 14 hour

 RIPPLE MILL

• throughput - 4 mt/hr to 8 mt/hr
• efficiency - >95%

DRY SEPARATION

• separation velocity - 11 m/s to 13 m/s (remove 5% light particles)
• conveying velocity - 16 m/s to 18 m/s (prevent accumulation in ducting)
• cracked mixture to FFB ratio - 12% to 15%
• air to cracked mixture ration - 4 : 1
• air density at 27C - 1.1777 kg/m3
• bucket capacity - 85%
• motor efficiency - 75%
• chain speed - 0.3 m/s
• bucket spacing - 0.3 m
• elevator height - 15 m
• bulk density cracked mixture - 540 kg/m3
• gravity - 9.81 m/s
• conveyor velocity - 16 m/s
• separation velocity at 27C - 13 m/s

WET SEPARATION

• cracked mixture to FFB - 12% to 15%
