Olive cleaning system for olive oil production
In the olive oil extraction process, it is critical to properly clean the olives to maintain the performance of other equipment and ensure the best possible product quality. Industrial-scale olive processing requires efficient and reliable cleaning systems to handle large volumes and prevent wear and tear on extraction machinery.
Efficiently cleans and prepares olives for processing
The Alfa Laval olive cleaning system is designed to remove leaves, twigs, earth, stones, and other debris from olives before they enter the extraction process. The system includes a defoliator and a water washer that effectively clean the olives while protecting their integrity. Made entirely of stainless steel, the washing sections are built for strength and reliability. The system is available in four standard types: Compact washer, Standard washer, Special soft washer, and Special automatic washer, to meet various capacity requirements and automation levels. Each washer recycles water after decanting, and clean water is constantly mixed in at a rate of 10% by weight of the olives to ensure thorough rinsing. An optional destoner unit is also available for conditions where there are excessive stones and debris.
