FAQ

  • QAre screw presses suitable for palm kernel oil expression in Nigeria?
    AObviously, there is a problem of inadequate or even unavailability of design information for the rational, empirical, or optimum design of screw presses for palm kernel oil expression in Nigeria. There are no established theories for screw pressing of palm kernel for oil expression.
  • QWhy is palm kernel oil so popular in Nigeria?
    AThe Nigerian vegetable oil market uniquely features palm kernel oil packaged for household and commercial food frying. More than 60% of refineries in Nigeria are built on palm kernel oil as raw materials. This is because processing of palm kernel oil involves degumming, bleaching, deodorization, cooling, and packaging.
  • QHow to place an order?
    AFirst pls contact us directly or send us an inquiry with your specific requirements, including the processing grain seeds, working hours, daily capacity, and etc., and our sales manager will contact you to provide custom solution.
  • QWhere is the screw press used in palm kernel oil extraction?
    AMost enterprises involved in palm kernel oil extraction business in Nigeria employ the screw press, most of which are imported from Malaysia, England, and Germany and lack certain important local content in the design and development.
  • QShould oil-palm kernels be crushed when using a screw press?
    AOil-palm kernels should not be crushed when using a screw press designed for whole kernels, because, doing so will most likely result to poor oil yield. Palm kernel oil production in Nigeria is not fully exploited due to nonmechanization of the production process.
  • QWhy do Nigerian vegetable oil refiners prefer palm kernel oil?
    AAs a result of the above, Nigerian vegetable oil refiners prefer palm kernel oil as raw material. Demand for vegetable oils in Nigeria is estimated at 1,968,500 tonnes, taking into account a per capita consumption of 12.7 kg and a population of 155 million in 2009 (WDI, 2011).
  • QHow much palm oil is consumed in Nigeria?
    APalm oil and palm kernel contribute about 65% to the total vegetable oils and fats consumed in Nigeria. This implies that palm oil and palm kernel oil demand and supply is 1,279,525 tonnes and 739,427 tonnes, respectively, leaving a gap of 540,098 tonnes annually.
