INVESTIGATION OF SEPARATION OF PALM KERNEL AND SHELL ON AN INCLINED PLANE SEPARATOR 1-5.Department of Agricultural Engineering, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, NIGERIA Abstract: The separation of shell from kernel of two varieties of oil palm in Nigeria was investigated in a laboratory inclined plane separator.
اقرأ المزيدPalm kernel and shell separators are of two types based on the wet and the dry methods. The wet method uses clay slurry, brine solution or a hydrocyclone, and generally exploits the differences in the densities of the kernel and the shell as the physical basis for separation (Hartley, 1977; Henderson & Perry, 1980; Opeke, 1997).
اقرأ المزيدA palm kernel processing (Cracking and Separating) unit was developed to crack effectively various sizes/diameters of palm kernel as well as to separate the palm kernel from the shell with the aim of reducing the challenges encountered during the production of palm kernel Oil. This machine was fabricated and designed with locally …
اقرأ المزيدThe palm kernel cracker and separator machine has good quality and high efficiency. It is used to crush the hard shell of all different sizes palm kernel, hazelnut, chestnut and almond. The Nigeria client wants to handle 1000kg's palm for an hour and customize the length of the conveyor belt.
اقرأ المزيدThe separation of palm kernel from the shell is an important process in the recovery of the kernel for use in vegetable oil production. The inherent shortcoming of the fertiliser spinner spreader, resulting in non-uniform distribution, has led to investigations into the possibility of its use in the separation of palm kernel from shell.
اقرأ المزيدTo break Palm Kernel Cake, Shell and Copra into small desired particles. It uses the principle of swinging hammers and perforated screen to shear a lumpy object into small chips. It has widely been used in Palm Kernel Crushing Plant to shear Palm Kernel Meal and Palm Kernel Shell into small chips.
اقرأ المزيدBased on relevant physical properties of palm kernels and shells, a separator was designed to remove the palm kernels from the shells. The separator has two sections: one to remove and collect the shells; and a second to collect the kernels.
اقرأ المزيدEffective separation of palm kernel and shell is an important process in the downstream industrial utilization of the constituents. In view of the limitations of the conventional wet separators, a rotary separator employing a multi-cyclic separation process was developed for the dry mixture. Machine parts were designed following standard engineering …
اقرأ المزيدThe capacity of the separator is 446 kg h - 1 against a manual hand-picking rate of 60 kg h - 1 that characterize the dry method of separation in local palm kernel oil mills in Nigeria. Based on relevant physical properties of palm kernels and shells, a separator was designed to remove the palm kernels from the shells.
اقرأ المزيدExperiments were performed on cracking and separation of palm kernel from the shell by angular projection method and effect of projection angle on efficiency of separation investigated. This was carried out using a designed cracker-separator machine with a casing where cracking and projection are achieved with the aid of several blades.
اقرأ المزيدThe palm kernel shell separator machine consists of the hopper with top and bottom having rectangular forms mounted on the top side of the machine. The hopper enables the free fall of the kernel and shell mixture to the rotating inclined rug due to gravity. The framework of the outlined dimension (750 mm high by 1250 mm long and 620 mm wide ...
