BARRACANE 2500 Ton/Hour Used Olive Oil Processing Line System Technical Configuration The BARRACANE 2500 Ton/Hour used olive oil processing line offers a complete solution for olive oil extraction. It processes up to 2.5 tons of olives per hour and meets the industrial needs of medium-sized mills. The line covers all processing stages, from receiving to washing, crushing, malaxing, centrifugation, and final separation. Operators can operate this system continuously while maintaining high productivity and product consistency. Furthermore, the system's layout facilitates rapid integration into existing facilities. Loading and Washing Section A conveyor belt transports the olives to a washing unit, which removes leaves, dirt, and solid debris. A second elevator then lifts the cleaned olives and feeds them directly into the granite stone crusher. This configuration allows the BARRACANE 2500 ton/hour used olive oil processing line to maintain an uninterrupted product flow, reducing manual handling and optimizing process times. As a result, the system improves the plant's overall efficiency. Furthermore, automation of processing at the initial stage limits human error and the risk of contamination. Crushing system with granite stone mill. The line includes a four-wheel granite stone mill, installed on a 300 mm thick base and enclosed in a stainless steel ring. This traditional crushing system applies slow, uniform mechanical pressure to break down the fruit. The granite wheels gently crush the olives, preserving aromatic compounds and minimizing oxidation. Furthermore, the granite base stabilizes the temperature, protecting the quality of the oil throughout the pressing phase. Therefore, this system is suitable for producers aiming to achieve high-quality oil while maintaining full control over the extraction profile. Compared to metal mills, the stone mill offers greater control over the paste's consistency. Malaxation System The malaxation unit consists of four stainless steel tanks, each equipped with a gear paste pump. These tanks mix the olive paste uniformly at a controlled temperature. The gear pump transfers the paste directly to the decanter without interruption. As a result, the system maintains consistency throughout the process. Operators can precisely manage the duration and temperature of the mixing, improving oil separation in the next stage. Furthermore, the system limits temperature fluctuations, thus protecting heat-sensitive compounds. The BARRACANE 2,500 ton/hour used olive oil processing line guarantees thermal stability and uniform paste consistency across all batches. Decanting and Final Separation A Barracane model 4015 decanter performs the primary separation stage. This machine receives the paste through a feed pump and filters it using a vibrating screen before centrifugation. The decanter then efficiently separates the oil, water, and pomace. After this stage, a 2,000-liter Alfa Laval separator performs the final clarification. It removes residual moisture and particles, producing a clean, storage-ready oil. As such, the system guarantees an output that meets commercial-grade purity. Furthermore, operators can fine-tune the parameters to match different olive varieties. Electrical control and year of construction: A centralized control panel governs the entire plant. It automates the control of motors, pumps, and temperature systems. In 2000, the producer built the BARRACANE 2,500 ton/hour used olive oil processing line. Since then, maintenance teams have kept it running. For example, sensors or PLC interfaces can be integrated without modifying the main equipment. Therefore, the line provides a reliable basis for further technological improvements. Technical Overview The BARRACANE 2,500 ton/hour used olive oil processing line provides a reliable and technically complete solution for the continuous production of olive oil. It combines traditional milling techniques with mechanical automation, giving operators full control of each stage. In short, this system meets the operational needs of rolling mills that require durability, high-quality output, and structured process control. Overall, the system supports consistent performance while allowing flexibility for process customization. Finally, it balances traditional methods with scalable industrial capacity.
