Applications of Palm Oil Boiler in Various Industries
The palm oil boiler plays a vital role in multiple industries that rely on palm-based resources, particularly in Southeast Asia where palm plantations are widespread. The most prominent sector is the palm oil processing industry, where steam is essential for sterilizing fresh fruit bunches, extracting palm oil, and refining it into edible and industrial-grade products. Beyond palm oil mills, palm oil boiler systems are also extensively used in industries such as animal feed production, bioenergy, and biomass-based power generation. In animal feed manufacturing, steam from the palm oil boiler is used for cooking, conditioning, and sterilizing raw materials, which directly influences the nutritional quality and safety of the final products. Additionally, factories that utilize palm biomass residues, such as palm kernel shells and empty fruit bunches, heavily depend on palm oil boiler systems to convert these agricultural wastes into efficient thermal energy, supporting sustainable and cost-effective operations.

Case Application: ZOZEN’s Palm Oil Boiler in the Feed Industry
A leading Indonesian enterprise in the animal feed and livestock product sector faced the challenge of maintaining consistent steam supply while reducing energy costs. In the feed production process, steam is essential for sterilizing raw materials, cooking ingredients, and facilitating proper mixing. The company required a steam system that could operate continuously and efficiently while utilizing local biomass resources such as palm shells. Palm shells, known for their high calorific value and low ash content, are abundant in Indonesia but require a specialized combustion system due to their unique burning characteristics.
To address these needs, ZOZEN Boiler provided a tailored solution with the SZL10-1.25-SS palm oil boiler, specifically optimized for burning palm shells. This palm oil boiler was designed with a horizontal double-drum structure and a longitudinal layout for optimal heat exchange. The boiler’s advanced chain grate was engineered to handle biomass fuels with varying sizes and moisture content, allowing for uniform fuel distribution and complete combustion. This design minimized common issues such as slagging, incomplete combustion, and fuel jamming.
The involvement of ZOZEN Boiler proved instrumental in transforming the company’s energy system. By switching to the SZL series palm oil boiler, the enterprise achieved multiple benefits: a stable and reliable steam supply throughout the production process, significant reductions in fuel costs by utilizing palm shell waste, and a notable decrease in emissions due to improved combustion efficiency. With a thermal efficiency of over 86%, the boiler ensured that more energy was extracted from each unit of fuel, resulting in improved overall productivity and environmental performance.
This case underscores the practical advantages of ZOZEN’s palm oil boiler in real-world industrial applications. The company was able to transition from fossil fuel dependency to a greener, more cost-effective biomass solution without compromising on performance. ZOZEN’s expertise in biomass boiler customization and its meticulous attention to combustion system design were key factors in the success of this transition.
