At present oil palm growers are facing problem to extract crude palm oil in Bangladesh. Processing of palm oil categorized into various forms but basic processing stages are essentially the same including harvesting, sterilization, bunch stripping, digestion, crushing, clarification and drying. Extracting of palm oil is very difficult by traditional method and oil recovery rate is very low. Although mechanical processing is costly but produces good quality Crude Palm Oil (CPO) and oil recovery rate is high. An electric motor operated oil palm crusher was designed and developed and tested in laboratory under the Department of Farm Power and Machinery, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh for processing of crude palm oil from fresh fruit bunch. The crusher was designed by using Auto-Cad software. It was fabricated according to design parameters. The major parts of the crusher were screw shaft, cylinder, hopper, hollow bars, pressure case cap, jamnut and frame which were fabricated by mild steel (MS), ball bearing, gear and pinion, line and idle shaft and spring were fabricated by carbon steel (CS) whereas driver and driven pulley were fabricated by cast iron(CI). Crusher was mounted on the frame. A 9 hp electric motor was used as a power source. Crusher was tested after fabrication and 3000 gm fresh fruits were used. About 700 gm crude palm oil, 800 gm oil cake, 1400 gm skum were collected from 2700 gm pretreated fruits. The crushing capacity and crude oil percentage of the crusher was 6.49 kg/hr and 25.93%, respectively. Rotating speed of screw was 40 rpm for smooth running. The weight of crusher was only 70 kg which is easy to operate by single person. The developed oil palm crusher may fulfill the demand of smallholder growers to extract oil from fresh fruit bunches.

Planting Distance

Plant spacing is a factor influencing the growth of oil palm plants. Plant spacing is done to get an area for plant growth, to avoid a sun and nutrients competition for each oil palm plant, and to make it easier maintenance. This study aimed to see   the growth and production of oil palm at different planting distances. This research was carried out at the Oil Palm smallholder Plantation located in Suko Awinjaya Village, Sekernan District, Muaro Jambi Regeny, 64 kilometers (representing 8×8 m spacing) and 69 kilometers (representing 9×9 m spacing). This research was conducted in March-April 2019. The design of the experiment was carried out as an unformatted trial and the location was porpusively chosen as  there were a uniform plants in that location. Sampling determination of the locations was based on spacing differences e.g.  Planting distance 8 × 8 m (P1), Planting distance 9 × 9 m (P2). The Systemic Sampling method was used in this study. The parameters observed were plant height, stem circumference, weight of fresh fruit bunches (FFB), productivity, light intensity, air temperature, air humidity (%). A measured agronomic each observed parameter was analyzed by Independent t test (significant level of 5%). The result showed that the oil palm plantations with 8x8 m distance planted give a higher growth  and a smaller stem circumference than the 9x9m. While a higher both of Fresh Fruit Bunch Weight and productivity were obtained at a 9x9 m spacing than those at 8x8 m planted distance. Keywords: Spacing, Productivity, Oil Palm AbstrakJarak tanam merupakan faktor yang mempengaruhi pertumbuhan tanaman kelapa sawit. Pengaturan jarak tanam adalah untuk mendapatkan ruang tumbuh bagi pertumbuhan tanaman guna menghindari kompetisi memperebutkan unsur hara dan matahari dari setiap tanaman kelapa sawit, serta mempermudah dalam pemeliharaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat pertumbuhan dan produksi kelapa sawit pada jarak tanam yang berbeda. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Perkebunan Kelapa Sawit Rakyat yang terletak di Desa Suko Awinjaya, Kecamatan Sekernan Kabupaten Muaro Jambi kilometer 64 (mewakili jarak tanam 8×8 m) dan kilometer 69 (mewakili jarak tanamn 9×9 m). Penelitian ini pada bulan Maret – April 2019. Rancangan Percobaan di lakukan dengan tidak terformat, dan lokasi dipilih secara sengaja karena pada lokasi tersebut terdapat tanaman yang diteliti dan seragam. Penentuan lokasi pengambilan sempel berdasarkan perbedaan jarak tanam yaitu: Jarak tanam 8×8 m (P1), Jarak tanam 9×9 m (P2) Pengambilan sampel pada penelitian ini menggunakan metode Sistemik Sampling. Parameter yang diamati adalah Tinggi tanaman, Lingkar Batang, Berat Tandan Buah Segar (TBS), Produktivitas, Intesitas Cahaya, Suhu Udara, Kelembaban Udara (%), Tindakan Agronomi. Setiap parameter yang diamati dilakukan analisis  Independent t test pada taraf α 5 %. Tanaman Kelapa sawit yang ditanam pada jarak 8x8 m memberikan hasil pertumbuhan yang lebih tinggi dan lingkaran yang lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan jarak tanam 9x9 m. Berat Tandan Buah Segar dan produktivitas yang lebih tinggi didapatkan pada jarak tanam 9x9 m dibandingkan dengan yang ditanam pada jarak 8x8 mKata kunci : Jarak Tanam, Produktivitas, Kelapa sawt

The paper aims to study the position of the optimum oil palm ripeness at the bunch different positions. This information is essential to complete a measurement procedure to detect oil palm fresh fruit bunch (FFB) maturity so that the detection devices can directly measure the optimal mature position as a representative of the entire FFB characteristics. In this study, the oil palm FFB (Elaeis guineensis Jacq. var. tenera) with the various ripeness stages (4 until 22 weeks after anthesis) were collected and divided from three positions, i.e., proximal, central and distal. Moreover, each fruit in each of these positions was subjected to sample preparation to identify water and oil content. The water and oil content were completed based on the oven test method and the Soxhlet extraction technique, respectively. The optimum ripeness position is determined based on the lowest water content and the highest oil content. Based on the analysis, during the process of oil palm maturation occurs a decrease in water content and an increase in oil content. In addition, the average water content of palm fruit varies greatly depending on its position based on the analysis, i.e., proximal (45.38±5.62%), central (35.30±3.34%) and distal (41.98±2.57%). The average oil content of oil palm fruit in the central position is higher oil content (25.10±1.72%) compared to the proximal (10.00±0.77%) and distal position (13.77±1.22%). We suspect that the chemical content differences of palm fruit in various positions are due to the inequality of the respiration rate and ethylene production throughout FFB. In addition, overall it can be concluded that the fruit in the central FFB position has an optimal ripeness level compared to the proximal and distal position. Thus, the measurement position recommended in evaluating palm maturity is at the central position of FFB.
