Description
The Decanter is a key machine used in palm oil processing. It separates crude palm oil (CPO) from solids (sludge) and water using high-speed centrifugal force. This process improves the clarity of the oil, reduces impurities, and enhances both the efficiency and quality of crude oil before further refining.
Working Principle
-
A mixture of oil, water, and sludge is fed into a rotating drum inside the decanter
-
The drum spins at high speed, generating centrifugal force to separate the components into layers
-
Clean oil is discharged through one outlet, while water and solids are removed through separate outlets
-
This reduces moisture and impurities in the crude oil
