PIERALISI MAYOR 3 Used Olive Oil Processing Line, up to 3 tons per hour. System Overview The PIERALISI MAYOR 3 used olive oil processing line, up to 3 tons per hour, manages the entire olive oil extraction process. It processes up to 3 tons of olives per hour in continuous operation. The line includes all the essential stages: receiving, washing, crushing, malaxing, decanting, and final separation. Operators can operate this system in high-capacity, professional environments and consistently achieve high oil yields and quality. Furthermore, the design supports long work cycles with minimal maintenance. Mechanical Separation Section The system uses a Pieralisi M3 decanter as the central processing unit. This decanter performs the mechanical separation of solids and liquids. Dedicated pumps efficiently move the product between stages. A vibrating screen filters the pulp before it enters the decanter, ensuring stable operation throughout the process. Consequently, the PIERALISI MAYOR 3 used olive oil processing line, capable of processing up to 3 tons per hour, supports continuous extraction while maintaining mechanical efficiency. This system preserves the quality of the oil and limits product losses. Loading and washing of olives A conveyor belt transports the olives to the washing system. A washing unit, equipped with an electrical control panel, automatically cleans the incoming product. A second elevator then lifts the olives to the crusher, which mechanically crushes the pulp and stones. This step, in turn, creates a paste ideal for malaxation. Furthermore, the washing and crushing phases reduce the risk of contamination and optimize downstream separation. Malaxation system Three stainless steel malaxation tanks, each with a capacity of 800 liters, continuously process the olive paste. A dedicated paste pump (model 50) transfers the product from the malaxation unit to the decanter. As a result, the flow remains uninterrupted. Operators use this system to maintain optimal temperatures and ensure homogeneity before centrifugation. Furthermore, the tank design improves thermal uniformity and reduces energy waste. For this reason, the PIERALISI MAYOR 3 used olive oil processing line, capable of processing up to 3 tons per hour, supports stable paste management and reduces temperature fluctuations during processing. Final oil separation Two Pieralisi model 2000 separators perform the final oil separation. The system uses centrifugal force to extract the oil and remove water and fine particles. A dedicated control panel independently controls the separators, allowing operators to fine-tune each separator for different batch characteristics. With this configuration, the system ensures a clean final product with high clarity and minimal residue. Notably, the entire separation phase operates automatically, increasing productivity. By-product control and handling system A main control panel manages all machine components along the line. Multiple augers transport the spent pomace to the storage or unloading areas. This system ensures efficient byproduct management. The structure uses stainless steel and painted carbon steel, ensuring long-lasting durability and compliance with industry standards. Furthermore, the materials allow for easy sanitization and corrosion resistance. Ultimately, the PIERALISI MAYOR 3 used olive oil processing line, capable of processing up to 3 tons per hour, integrates all mechanical functions into a unified control workflow. Technical Conclusion The PIERALISI MAYOR 3 used olive oil processing line, capable of processing up to 3 tons per hour, offers a modular, high-productivity solution for olive mills. It provides complete automation, mechanical reliability, and scalability for medium- and large-scale operations. In short, operators can manage each stage of the process with precision and minimal manual intervention. Overall, the system combines robustness and flexibility, making it a practical choice for continuous olive oil extraction.
