Two-phase decanter centrifuge for olive oil production

Achieve optimal clarity and yield in olive oil extraction with a high-speed two-phase decanter centrifuge, ensuring efficient separation and reduced maintenance for continuous operation.

Extracts and Clarifies Olive Oil Efficiently

The Alfa Laval Olive Oil Y-Series, including the Y8, Y9, and Y10 models, are two-phase decanter centrifuges designed for efficient olive oil clarification and extraction. Operating on a multi-stage decanting principle, these centrifuges seamlessly integrate into continuous production lines for olive oil and essential oil extraction. They are commonly utilized in the production of extra virgin olive oil, flavored oils, and herbal extracts. Handling diverse operations, these decanters accommodate high-speed and automated processing of liquids, slurries, and solids. The series offers optimized energy efficiency, featuring electronic control via a variable frequency drive and a direct drive gearbox, reducing power consumption. Constructed with high-quality stainless steel for durability and ease of cleaning, they include tungsten carbide tiles for enhanced wear resistance. Optional IoT services are available to maximize equipment reliability and uptime, ensuring seamless integration in food and beverage processing plants.
