  • What is palm fruit processing?
  • Pounding (digestion) and oil extraction are the most tedious and essential operations in traditional palm fruit processing; therefore early efforts concentrated on these tasks. In small-scale processing, digestion, the breaking up of the oil-bearing cells of the palm fruit’s mesocarp, is the most labour intensive.
  • How did mechanisation start in Cameroon?
  • Mechanisation was introduced to Cameroon in the 1930s through the importation of Colin palm oil expellers. The Colin is a low-pressure, continuous-feed expeller made in France. It has two 6’ (2 m) diameter coaxial counter-rotating screws that turn horizontally or vertically in a perforated cage. The discharge end is fitted with a backpressure cone.
  • Why is palm oil pressing a bottleneck in small-scale palm oil processing?
  • · boiling and skimming palm oil from the oil/water mixture; · drying the recovered oil. Standing by the open fire during this operating period is not only a health hazard but is inefficient, as a lot of oil is left trapped in the mixture as an emulsion. It was long realised that pressing is a bottleneck in small-scale palm oil processing.
