Olive cleaning system for olive oil production
Ensure the integrity of your olive oil production line by efficiently removing debris and contaminants from olives, safeguarding machinery and enhancing product quality.
Cleans and Rinses Olives for Processing
Alfa Laval’s olive washers are designed for olive oil producers and agricultural processors seeking efficient pre-processing. These stainless steel systems ensure rigorous cleaning by integrating a defoliator and water-based washing mechanism, addressing common challenges of debris removal. They are vital in processing olives for extra virgin, virgin, and pomace oils. Featuring capacities tailored to various operations (compact, standard, special soft, and special automatic configurations), they support seamless integration into existing production lines. With the ability to recycle water post-decanting and an option for a destoner unit, these washers maintain energy efficiency while protecting downstream equipment such as decanter centrifuges. Customizable options are available to meet specific operational needs.
