Pro and Cons of Installing a Splitter

Some mills have installed a splitter just before the sterilization process which have resulted in better sterilization by reducing the unstripped bunches effectively. However this improvement have resulted in some mills experiencing other problems after installing a splitter. Can fellow Millers share your thoughts and experience here of the pro and cons of installing a splitter??? Your sharing of views and comments are greatly appreciated.

So much been discussed on USB on use of Splitter. Can we share some experience in effect of FFA and condensates with the use of this Splitter?

As the splitting effect will cause some rupture of the fruitlets, do expect the FFA to increase......oil losses in condensate will also increase.....as such as a process engineer you need to fine tune the sterilization process to meet the 4 main key objectives of sterilization ie, to stop the rise in FFA, to loosen the fruitlets from the bunch, to condition the nuts and to condition the mesocarp optimumly for best results.

Thank you for feedback. In your opinion, does the benefit of low USB outweigh the issues of higher FFA in CPO and increase losses in Sterilizer Condensate?
