Description
The Clay Bath Machine is a crucial piece of equipment in the palm oil production process, specifically designed to separate shells from kernels after the nuts have been cracked. It operates based on specific gravity separation, using a clay-water mixture to increase the liquid’s density—allowing the lighter kernels to float and the heavier shells to sink.
Working Principle
-
Cracked shells and kernels are fed into the Clay Bath tank
-
The ratio of water and clay is adjusted to achieve the optimal density
-
Kernels float to the surface, while shells sink to the bottom
-
Separated kernels are sent to drying or the next processing step
-
Reduces shell contamination in kernels, improving product quality
