The hydraulic system operates by utilizing the differences in density and specific gravity between kernels and shells. The mixture of kernels and shells is fed into the system, where it is subjected to hydraulic forces and centrifugal action. The kernel pump and shell pump work together to create specific flow conditions that allow the lighter shells to be separated from the heavier kernels. The screen drum plays a crucial role in this process, with its fine mesh allowing kernels to pass through while retaining the larger shell particles. The rotational speed of the drum ensures a thorough and continuous separation process.
Constructed from a combination of iron steel and carbon steel, the system combines durability with robustness. Iron steel is used for components that require high strength and wear resistance, while carbon steel is utilized for its excellent mechanical properties and ability to withstand the operational stresses of the separation process.

The Palm Kernel & Shell Separate Hydraulic System is widely used in palm oil mills and processing plants. It is typically installed after the initial dehulling and polishing stages to further refine the separation of kernels from shells. By efficiently separating kernels from shells, the system ensures that only high - quality kernels are processed further for oil extraction, improving the overall efficiency and yield of the palm oil production process. Its design and specifications make it suitable for integration into both new and existing palm oil processing facilities, enhancing their ability to produce high - quality palm kernel oil.
