Olive oil purification separator

Achieve unparalleled clarity and purity in your olive oil production with advanced separation technology designed for efficient, gentle processing, reducing waste and maximizing yield.

Purifies and Clarifies Olive and Plant-Based Oils

The UVPX series from Alfa Laval consists of disc stack separators specifically engineered for the purification and clarification of olive and plant-based oils. Designed to operate with intermittent discharge, these separators efficiently manage the removal of solids and effectively separate diverse liquid phases. With capacities of up to 1500 liters per hour in models like the UVPX 510, this equipment is well-suited for ensuring high-quality extra virgin, virgin, and organic olive oils along with cold-pressed plant oils. The separators are easy to operate and maintain, featuring a design that minimizes energy consumption and product loss. They integrate seamlessly into both continuous and intermittent operations, incorporating simple process optimization capabilities. Made from materials selected for corrosion resistance, these separators ensure longevity and reliability in processing environments, supported by Alfa Laval’s extensive expertise in catering to the olive oil production industry.
