Application of Leaf Filter in RBD Palm Oil Filtration Customer Case

1、 Customer background and needs

A large oil processing enterprise focuses on the refining and processing of palm oil, mainly producing RBD palm oil (palm oil that has undergone degumming, deacidification, decolorization, and deodorization treatment). With the increasing demand for high-quality oils in the market, companies hope to further optimize the filtration process in palm oil refining to improve product quality and production efficiency. The adsorbent particle size to be processed in this filtration process is 65-72 μ m, with a production capacity requirement of 10 tons/hour and a filtration area requirement of 40 square meters. ​

2、 Facing challenges

In previous filtration processes, traditional filtration equipment used by enterprises had many problems. Due to the small particle size of the adsorbent, traditional equipment has low filtration efficiency and is difficult to meet the production capacity requirement of 10 tons/hour; At the same time, frequent equipment blockages result in long downtime for maintenance, increasing production costs; In addition, insufficient filtration accuracy also affects the final quality of RBD palm oil, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-end customers. ​

3、 Solution

Based on the customer’s needs and challenges, we recommend a blade filter with a filtration area of 40 square meters. This blade filter has the following features and advantages:

Efficient filtration performance: The unique blade structure design, combined with suitable filtration media, can accurately intercept adsorbent particles of 65-72 μ m, while ensuring filtration accuracy and effectively improving filtration efficiency, ensuring a processing capacity of 10 tons of RBD palm oil per hour. ​

Strong anti clogging ability: Through reasonable channel design and optimized blade arrangement, the accumulation and blockage of adsorbent particles in the filtration process are reduced, and the maintenance frequency and downtime of the equipment are lowered. ​

Convenient operation: The equipment has a high degree of automation and can achieve functions such as one click start stop and automatic backwashing, reducing the labor intensity of operators and improving the stability and safety of the production process
