Enhancing the efficiency process for separation of dry shell and palm kernel

Palm oil Processing Palm kernel is one of the products from palm oil mills. In kernel recovery plant, the separation of kernel and shell from cracked mixture is carried out using a combination of dry and wet separation. The objective of this study were to enhance the efficiency process for separatio...
