New or used, we can find it for you! The purpose of the fractionation process is to separate the liquid fraction called «oleins» from the crystallized fraction called «stearins». Fractionation is practiced mainly on palm oil, palm kernel oil, lard, tallow, partially hydrogenated fish or soybean oil and anhydrous milk fat. At ambient or low temperature, a number of oils or fats present themselves in the form of a mixture of a crystallized high melting point fraction and of a liquid low melting point fraction.

The process comprises three steps: Conditioning, Crystallization and Filtration.
