extraction. Palm nuts and fibres are left as residue [4]. The nuts are dried and cracked into palm kernel and shell and subsequently it is separated into palm kernel oil (PKO), palm kernel meal (PKM) and water. With respect to the importance and merits posed by palm kernels, the demand for it in the world markets is increasing daily.

Development and Assessment of Cracking and Sorting Processes

• Type: palm oil processing machine
• Features: Face lift, skin rejuvenation, wrinkle remover
• Material: ABS
• Target area: body, eyes, face, hands
• Waterproof: Yes
• Type of plug: Other

The cracking-sorting efficiency was estimated at 94% and throughput capacity was determined to be 80kg/h while the overall palm kernel recovery efficiency was 85%. These suggest that the machine is very suitable for separating the palm kernel nuts from the cracked shells clearly and completely.

Ismail et.al. (2015) designed and developed an improved palm kernel shelling and sorting machine. They evaluated the physical and mechanical properties of the palm kernel nuts so as to determine the critical load required to cause fracture on the palm kernel nuts without damage to the nut meat.

The machine optimum shelling-sorting efficiency was found to be 90 percent, throughput capacity was 59kg/h, and whole kernel recovery was 70 percent, with ease of operation, low costs of

This paper presents a research on the Development and Assessment of the cracking and sorting processes of palm kernels nuts in a mechanical cracking machine. The palm kernel oil is an important

DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF A MOVABLE PALM KERNEL CRACKING

The materials used for the components of the palm kernel cracking machine were selected based on availability, cost and usability. (33) The developed palm kernel cracking machine as seen in figure 4 was modeled with solidworks 2010 version. Table 2, shows the production cost of the newly developed palm kernel cracking machine.

Adejuyigbe et al. [8] designed an improved palm kernel shelling and sorting machine which can be used to crack various sizes of palm kernel with an incorporated sorting unit for separation. The efficiency of the machine was determined to be 98% with 95 nuts per second as the processing rate. A comparison was made with an existing palm kernel

A 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 available

while the overall palm kernel recovery efficiency was 85%. These suggest that the machine is very suitable for separating the palm kernel nuts from the cracked shells clearly and completely.
