Palm Kernel Shell
Spesification
Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) is part of the palm fruits lying between the palm fruit flesh and the Palm Kernel (PK). After Crude Palm Oil (CPO) has been extracted from the palm fruit flesh in the initial stage of Palm Oil Mill processes, PKS covering PK in intact form are sent to next phase of cracking and separation between PKS and PK. PKS has a dark brown color in nature.
Supply
With the support and good relationship of Palm Oil Mills across our operational presence, we always manage to secure quantity of PKS ranging between 50,000MT up to 75,000MT per month. Monthly PKS breed supply can range between 60% of Dura breed and 40% of Tenera breed, and up to 75% of Dura breed and 25% Tenera breed.
Quality
Our standard of PKS can be categorized into:
1. Untreated PKS
Untreated PKS are obtained from Palm Oil Mills being delivered
straight to end users without undergoing any treatment to reduce
any unwanted content.
2. Treated PKS
Treated PKS is the higher quality of PKS, which have undergone
quality control to ensure much lesser presence of foreign objects,
much lower moisture content and smaller range of PKS thickness
differences.
After going through treatment, the quality of PKS will improve by
parameters such as:
-Smaller Range Shell
-Thickness
-Moisture Content
-Sulphur Content
-Ash Content
-Volatile Matter
-Fixed Carbon
-Impurities
-Gross Calorific Value
