System and Process for Palm Oil Extraction by Cracking, Threshing and Dynamic Sterilization of the Fresh Fruit

Abstract

The present invention patent application belongs to the field of mechanical engineering and consists of a system and process for palm oil extraction integrally configured for processing the entire fresh fruit (rachis, spikes and seeds or fruits) by stages of cracking, threshing, dynamic sterilization and subsequent pressing. Said disclosed system and process allow increasing the percentage of oil extraction with less equipment and a smaller workspace compared to that required by the already known conventional processes, as well as using smaller amounts of water and energy. Additionally, the disclosed system and process allow obtaining sterilized plant material with low humidity, which may be used as organic matter for composting or as fuel of the extraction system itself.
