The Concept of a CKD Palm Oil Mill
A Complete-Knock-Down (CKD) palm oil mill is a
palm oil mill that has been designed, fabricated and fully built-up in the supplier’s
plant, before it is complete-knocked-down into its major components, packaged
into containers and shipped to the buyer’s project site for assembling into a
fully functional palm oil mill.
Why Build a CKD Palm Oil
Mill?
The main reason for building palm oil mill with CKD
design its much faster construction and delivery speed. It normally would take 20-24 months to build
a palm oil mill by the conventional way.
With the CKD design, it can be done in 12-14 months, about 40-50% shorter
in time.
This is because with the CKD design, the work
flow can progress in very much faster and orderly manner in a factory
environment. Moreover, working time can
be easily extended to 2 shifts or even 3 round-the-clock shifts as and when
necessary. On the other hand, logistics
and weather are often the major causes in hampering or delaying the work flow
in the on-site building of a palm oil mill.
The Concept of a Movable
Palm Oil Mill
Broadly speaking, a movable or so-called “mobile”
palm oil mill is one that is designed with high “mobility”
characteristics. The major components of
the processing line are designed in such a way that they could be easily opened
up or detached for the purpose of moving them in containers or trucks to a new
site for reassembling back to its original state. In fact, a movable palm oil mill has to be
designed and built as a CKD-design palm oil mill.
The Optimum Size of a CKD
Moveable Palm oil
Mill
The optimum size or processing capacity of a CKD-design
movable palm oil mill is 10 metric ton (mt) fresh fruit bunch (FFB) per
hour. This is because the major
components of palm oil mills of capacity bigger than 10mt per hour would be too
large to be detached and moved around in containers or trucks.
