Definition
A cake breaker conveyor is used specifically to transport, separate and dry (fibers + kernels) that are by-products extracted from the Palm Oil Press during the production CPO.
Application
As mentioned above, cake breakers are used to separate fibers and nuts(kernels) along the length of the conveyor. This is achieved by the action of “throwing” the product forward with the use of paddles attached to a central shaft.
Construction
Similar in design to a screw conveyor, but with a series of “paddles” attached to the central shaft as opposed to a “flight”. This conveyor typically runs horizontally, over a length of between 15 and 25meters. To aid with the drying of the fibers, a steam jacket is often added to the outer trough.
