STERILIZER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Optimal Sterilization Process
The “Novel HEMS” system ensures consistent temperature, pressure, and steam distribution for uniform FFB sterilization—enhancing quality, energy efficiency, and process reliability.
Temperature and Pressure
- Maintain a consistent temperature of 140°C to 145°C at a pressure of 2.8 to 3.0 bar.
- Sterilization time ranges between 60 to 80 minutes depending on the FFB quality
Steam Utilization
- Use clean and dry steam to ensure even heating of FFBs.
- Optimize steam pressure and duration to prevent overcooking or undercooking.
Key Parameters to Monitor
- Temperature: Ensure it remains at 140–145°C during the process.
- Pressure: Maintain a steady pressure of 2.8–3.0 bar.
- Sterilization Time: Typically 60–80 minutes, depending on the FFB size.
- Uniform Steam Distribution: Ensure even steaming for all FFBs.
Challenges and “Novel HEMS” Solutions
- Uneven Sterilization:
- “Novel HEMS” System Steam Distribution Spreader at Sterilizer to ensure steam even distribution.
- “Novel HEMS” Cages System design of the smart slot openings to maximize heat transfer efficiency while minimizing energy consumption and ensures the fruit is exposed to the optimal cooking conditions.
Overall Comparison: Conventional System vs “NOVEL HEMS” System
The transition from the Conventional FFB Cages and Sterilizer System to the advanced “NOVEL HEMS” design marks a major improvement in performance and efficiency. The new system introduces optimized cage structures, enhanced steam distribution, and automated condensate management — resulting in faster processing, lower energy consumption, and consistent sterilization quality. Overall, the “NOVEL HEMS” system delivers higher productivity, reduced maintenance, and improved oil extraction outcomes compared to conventional operations.
| Conventional FFB Cage | Novel HEMS FFB Cage |
|---|---|
|
|
| Conventional cages provide limited steam flow, leading to uneven sterilization and inconsistent fruit conditioning. | The NOVEL HEMS cages enhance steam circulation for uniform heat distribution, resulting in better sterilization performance and higher oil extraction quality. |
|
|
| Conventional sterilizer systems suffer from poor steam uniformity, excessive condensate buildup, and high energy consumption. These issues compromise sterilization efficiency and result in unstripped bunches. | In contrast, the Novel HEMS Sterilizer Management System ensures optimized steam flow and precise control, resulting in uniform heating, improved efficiency, and easier fruit detachment from the bunches. |
|
|
| Heat circulation is uneven, with hot steam trapped at the top and cooler zones at the bottom. Poor flow and stagnant areas cause inconsistent sterilization and lead to more unstripped bunches. | Heat circulation is smooth and uniform throughout the chamber. Steam is well-distributed with minimal cold spots, resulting in efficient sterilization and fewer unstripped bunches. |
