Oil Palm Fiber



Oil palm trunk fiber is very light and can absorb a lot of water without congealing. It can withstand extremes temperature and moisture conditions during food processing.

This natural fiber have a wide range of applications in foods where fiber usually be added, such as yogurts, breads, pastries and other products using wheat.

A cereal made using oil palm trunk fiber has been introduced in Malaysia through Sukhe International, the Selangor Daru Ehsan-based company which extracts oil palm trunk fiber using a patented process.

The success of oil palm trunk fiber in the functional foods market mean Malaysia can generate revenue out of a waste product that has, until now, proved problematic.

Malaysia produces 50 percent of the world's palm oil and has 3 million hectares of the trees under cultivation. Every year, 9 million trees become nascent and must be cut down, with saplings planted in their stead.

Oil Palm Fibres can be used by manufactures to make various fibre composites such as furnitures, infrastructures, mattress.

The oil palm fibre is produced from empty fruit bunch that are considered as waste after the extraction oil palm fruits.

To become the useable fiber, the empty fruit bunches goes through process which involve empty fruit bunches to be shredded , separated , refined and dried.

No chemicals were involved in the production of oil palm fibres.

High quality oil palm fibre are clean and toxic free.

After the process, the end product of high quality oil palm fibre  can be used by manufactures to make various fibre composites such as furnitures, infrastructures, matteress, erosion control, paper production and also landscaping.
 



Oil palm fibre is equivalent to coconut fiber at a competitive price.

Oil palm fiber is non-hazardous biodegradable material extracted from oil palm's  empty fruit bunch (EFB) through decortation process. The fibers are clean, non-carcinogenic, free from pesticides and soft parenchyma cells.

Palm fibres are versatile and stable and can be processed into various dimensional grades to suit specific applications such as mattress cushion production, erosion control, soil stabilization/compaction, landscaping and horticulture, ceramic and brick manufacturing, thermoplastic filler, flat board manufacturing, paper production, acoustics control, livestock care, compost, fertilizer, animal feed, etc...

 POFS (palm oil fuel ash)  is a waste material in the form of ash from burning palm oil fibre.

Malaysia was the former largest palm oil producer in the world. One of the major waste products is the Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB).  The EFB fibre can be used for Wood plastic, Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF), Erosion control and Landscaping.

As  the leading producer of palm oil in the world, oil palm fiber is abundantly available in Malaysia.  Oil palm fiber is used in several different areas. A common usage is in asphalt mixes.

Oil Palm Fiber is extracted from palm oil vascular bundles in the empty fruit bunch (EFB). In the manufacturing process of Palm Fiber, EFB are shredded, separated, refined and dried.

The manufacturing process does not involve any chemical reaction or exposure. Hence the Material is clean and non-toxic. Packing: In bale, Weigth:80kg/bale,40'Container:23tonnes. We sell two grade of fiber as below:

1st Grade Palm oil fiber
Length:5-6 inches
Moisture: <10%
Oil content: <3%
Impurity: <5%

2nd Grade Palm oil fiber
Length:5-6 inches
Moisture: <30%
Oil content: <5%
Impurity: <30%
 


Malaysia's new markets for palm oil by-products:

1 - By transforming fronds into pulp and paper

2 - Turning trunks into furniture

3 - Use of Oil Palm Trunk Fiber as Concrete Reinforcement.

4 - Turning  EFB to Bio-Organic Compost

5 - Utilizing palm oil as fuel

6 - Using EFB fiber for block board production

Malaysia government hopes that the oil palm sub-sector will become a lucrative export industry.

Malaysian Palm Oil industry now strives for

a) better oil quality of palm oil

b) discovery and utilization of oleochemicals (secondary plant products) of the palm oil into consumer products.
