Fractionation of Palm kernel oil (PKO) is primarly done to make part of the oil suitable as a cocoa butter replacement fat.
In order to reply to a demand from specialty fat producers for fully automated dry fractionation plants with low manual operation, the De Smet multifunctional dry fractionation process for specialty fat production has been further extended with a new Statoliser™ technology(patented) which allows to obtain results similar to panning & pressing or solvent fractionation, but with a fully automated operation, requiring minimal manpower and very low operating costs.
