Crude palm oil (CPO) coming from the screw press passes through the vibration screen and is collected in the crude oil tank equipped with a heating device and optionally with a slowly rotating agitator. After the crude oil tank, a feed pump transfers the oil directly to the Shenzhou centrifuge by passing a de-sanding cyclone. In the Shenzhou centrifuge, the three- phase separation takes place providing clean oil, water and solids. Benefits Clean oil no need of clarification stage Short processing time Minimum heat loss Virtually no alteration of the oil (low FFA) Minimum dilution water demand Minimum waste water stream Maximum flexibility
