Decanter centrifuge for olive oil processing
Optimize olive oil production by achieving higher oil clarity and reduced water usage using advanced separation and drying techniques with these dynamic decanter centrifuges.
Separates and Processes Olive Oil Efficiently
The X Series Decanter Centrifuge from Alfa Laval is engineered to enhance olive oil production efficiency. Utilizing Variable Dynamic Pressure (VDP) and a sophisticated bowl geometry, it excels in both two-phase and three-phase operations, managing high-density separation for a drier solid output. Ideal for olive oil, food, and beverage processing, it delivers superior oil clarity while requiring less dilution water. This results in higher quality oil with reduced water consumption. Constructed from AISI 316 stainless steel, this decanter offers exceptional corrosion resistance, and its hinged casings allow easy maintenance access. With advanced electronic control over conveyor speed, it provides precise adjustments for optimal dryness. The inclusion of Alfa Laval IoT Services enhances reliability and facilitates real-time monitoring for predictive maintenance, thus minimizing downtime.
