PALM OIL MILL DESIGN - KERNEL STATION

Key points to consider for design of kernel station ;

KERNEL DRYING SILO
  • kernel to FFB ratio - 6%
  • drying time - 14 hour
  • bulk density kernel - 0.60 mt/m3
KERNEL SILO HEATER AND FAN
  • initial kernel moisture - 18%
  • final kernel moisture - 6%
  • ambient air temperature - 30C
  • outlet air temperature from heater - 80C
  • use Psychometric Chart
KERNEL BULK SILO
  • kernel extraction rate - 5%
  • mill running hour - 16 hour
  • storage capacity - 6 days basis
