Product Details

QIE Group provides high-performance sterilization systems, from traditional horizontal batch units to modern continuous technology, engineered for 24/7 industrial operation.

Sterilization Process

The sterilizer uses saturated steam in a multi-stage cycle:

• Air Evacuation: Removes air from the vessel to prevent oil oxidation.
• High-Pressure Steaming: Operates at 3.0 bar and 145°C to inactivate lipase enzymes, keeping FFA levels low, and softening the fruit mesocarp to improve oil extraction.
• Pressure Discharge: Rapid release causes an expansion effect, separating the fruit from the bunches and preparing the kernels for downstream processing.

This process ensures minimal oil loss and high-quality crude palm oil (CPO) production.

Horizontal Sterilizer — Industry Standard for Large Mills

The horizontal cylindrical vessel is the most proven configuration for large-scale operations (20–120 TPH).

Vertical Sterilizer — Space-Saving & Automated

Designed for mills with limited footprint or those seeking to reduce material handling overhead.
