material [3]. Removal of palm kernel from its shell basically, involves cracking and separation processes. The separation of palm kernels from the shells is an important process in the recovery of the kernels for extraction of PKO. The technique for this separation is of two types: the wet and the dry methods. The dry

The spirals may be considered as a series of discs, or a fairly long incline, where the mixture is fed into the separator at …
Based on relevant physical properties of palm kernels and shells, a separator was designed to remove the palm kernels from the shells. The separator has two sections: one to remove and collect the ...
The palm kernel cracker and separator machine is composed of a feeding hoist, a shelling machine and a separating machine. It can remove three levels of palm kernel shells of different specifications at one time, and the output can reach 1T per hour. This machine is also used to process almonds, hazelnuts, peach kernels, etc.
by differences in certain characteristics of the kernel and shell. Studies in developing suitable kernel and shell separating machines are ongoing with attempts on integration of both cracking and separating operations. Ismail et al., (2015) developed an improved palm kernel shelling and sorting

It was done based on the density difference between palm shells and kernels. The results showed that the optimal separation fluid density ranged between 1.1086 to 1.1777 g/cm 3 at an MEA ratio of 30–50% w/w. It corresponds to the maximum separation efficiency of palm shells and kernels, which ranged from 97 to 100 %.
Walnut shell–kernel separation is an essential step in the deep processing of walnut. It is a crucial factor that prevents the increase in the added value and industrial development of walnuts.
The wet separation process of a cracked mixture is based on the differential specific gravities of shell and kernel [15]. Both the wet separation systems use water for performing the desired ...
The physical characteristics of palm kernel that need to be taken into account include: Size of palm kernel nut, hell and kernel, mass of palm kernel and coefficient of friction for shell and kernel with respect to steel (Gbadamosi [9], Manuwa, S. I. [10], Olakanmi et al. [11]). 2.2 Size of Palm Kernel Nut, Shell and Kernel

Effective separation of palm kernel and shell is an important process in the downstream industrial utilization of the constituents. In view of the limitations of the conventional wet separators, a ...
The separation of palm kernel and shell mixture has remained a major problem militating against high production of palm kernel oil to meet industrial demand [2, 3]. Many small and medium scale ...
5%, due to its attachment to the shell during the separation process. The cracked mixture produced by the nut cracker consists of kernel, broken kernel, half-cracked nuts, small shell and large shell. The separation process of the shell and kernel fragments depends on the physical characteristics of the components of the mixture.
Walnut shell–kernel separation is an essential step in the deep processing of walnut. It is a crucial factor that prevents the increase in the added value and industrial development of walnuts. This study proposes a walnut shell–kernel detection method based on YOLOX deep learning using machine vision and deep-learning technology to …
separation of palm kernel from shell. The differences in the physical properties of the kernel and shell provided the basis for separation. Models describing the motion of the kernel and the shell on a spinning disc with vanes, feeding a segment at a time, were developed, and comparisons between the predictions and experimental results were made.
Experimental studies of some properties influencing cracking and separation of palm kernel from the shell was conducted in a palm kernel dual processing machine. A mechanical cracking cum ...
The dry separation of palm kernel and shell mixture has remained an arduous challenge, particularly in handling kernels and shells of comparable size grades. Most industrial processors have therefore maintained the use of wet ... to screen out dirt, small shell particles and immature kernels. However, where the kernel and shell are of the same ...
The results of the analysis show the impact of adding palm kernel shell with a percentage of 95% coal and 5% palm kernel shell biomass as boiler fuel, showing the results of thermal efficiency that are not much different from 44.767% to 43.40%.
This study investigated the possibility of separating oil palm kernel and shell mixture using media other than clay in wet separation. The separation efficiency of each medium ["Ikwube" (anthill), palm ash and sandy loam soil] was compared with that of clay. The effect of media type, specific gravity of the slurry, pH and slurry viscosity on the …

An appraisal of the soil-water bath (wet separation) method showed that the method is based on the difference in density/specific gravity of the palm kernels and the shells. In this study, the ...
The results of this study shows that moisture content, engine speed and feed rate are significant parameters that influence cracking of nuts and separation of palm …
kernel purity of 91.89 and 73.12%, respectively. The shell recovery, shell purity, separation efficiency and throughput capacity were 80.16, 94.17, 73.66 % and 313 kg/h, respectively. The results showed that the separation technique is viable for effective separation of the dry palm kernel and shell mixture.
