Description
The Sterilizer is a core machine used in palm oil mills to process Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) using high-pressure steam. Its primary function is to soften the palm fruits, making it easier for them to detach from the bunch, while also enhancing the efficiency and oil yield during crude palm oil (CPO) extraction.
There are various types of sterilizers, including vertical, horizontal, and continuous sterilizers, each suited to different production capacities and mill configurations.
🔧 Sterilizer Features
Improves Fruit Separation
Steam softens the palm fruit, making it easier to detach from the bunch for further processing.Reduces Free Fatty Acids (FFA)
Destroys enzymes responsible for FFA formation, preserving the quality of palm oil.Enhances Crude Palm Oil (CPO) Extraction Efficiency
Releases more oil from fruit cells and reduces oil losses during processing.Customizable Design – Vertical, Horizontal, or Continuous
Enables mill operators to select the most cost-effective solution based on capacity and space.Built with High-Strength Materials
Fabricated using industrial-grade steel to withstand high temperature and pressure environments.
