Project Overview

QIE GROUP completed a 60 TPH palm oil mill turnkey project in Africa, designed to process 60 tonnes of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) per hour and produce crude palm oil (CPO).

The integrated plant connects FFB sterilization, threshing, digestion, mechanical pressing, crude oil clarification, and filtration with supporting steam, material handling, kernel recovery, oil storage, and automated control systems.

The project scope covers crude palm oil production. Oil refining is not included.

Project Specifications

Project Type Palm Oil Mill Turnkey Project

Location Africa

Design Capacity 60TPH Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB)

Raw Material Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB)

Main Product Crude Palm Oil (CPO)

Main Process Sterilization, Threshing, Digestion, Pressing, Clarification, and Filtration

Project Status Completed and in operation

Project Scope Integrated processing equipment and supporting systems; refining excluded

Processing Flow

Main Palm Oil Milling Process
FFB Reception → Sterilization → Threshing → Digestion → Twin-Screw Pressing → Crude Oil Clarification → Filtration → CPO Storage

Sterilization and threshing prepare the fruit for processing. Digestion and mechanical pressing release the oil, while clarification and filtration separate crude palm oil from water and suspended solids. Fiber handling and palm kernel recovery systems support by-product processing.

Main Equipment and Supporting Systems

The 60 TPH palm oil mill integrates the following main equipment and auxiliary systems:

• FFB processing: Sterilization system, fruit thresher, and digester.

• Oil extraction: Twin-screw palm fruit pressing system.

• Crude oil recovery: Clarification and filtration systems.

• By-product handling: Fiber conveying and palm kernel recovery systems.

• Utilities and storage: Steam boiler system and crude palm oil storage tanks.

• Process control: Automated control system.

The integrated configuration links the main processing stages with the utilities and material-handling systems required for plant operation.

Key Project Features

60 TPH FFB processing capacity
Designed for large-scale fresh fruit bunch processing.

Integrated turnkey configuration
Combines core palm oil milling equipment with utilities, storage, process control, and supporting systems.

By-product recovery
Includes fiber handling and palm kernel recovery. Palm fiber and shells may be considered for boiler fuel use where suitable for the plant configuration.

Clear project scope
The plant produces crude palm oil; downstream oil refining is outside this project scope.

Project Completion

The palm oil mill is complete and operational. The project brings together FFB processing, mechanical oil extraction, crude oil clarification, filtration, and supporting systems in one integrated plant.

QIE GROUP can adapt equipment configuration and engineering scope to the required FFB processing capacity, raw material conditions, and site requirements of each project.
