350 kg/h Used Olive Oil Processing Line Technical Details and Operation Toscana Enologica Mori produced the 350 kg/h Used Olive Oil Processing Line in 2001, providing a complete solution for the continuous production of olive oil. The line integrates several machines that work synergistically, promoting efficiency and continuity throughout the extraction process. With a nominal production capacity of 350 kg of olives per hour, this system is suitable for medium-sized mills aiming for consistent and reliable production. Line Structure and Components This used olive oil processing line comprises six main machines, each of which performs a specific role. Each section optimizes oil quality while minimizing machine downtime through a continuous and automated configuration. 1. Olive washer with integrated auger The process begins with the olive washer, also manufactured by Toscana Enologica Mori in 2001. First, the machine removes impurities such as soil, leaves, and debris, ensuring clean olives for crushing. Then, the integrated auger automatically transports the olives from the washer to the crusher, maintaining an uninterrupted and controlled flow. As a result, the washing and conveying phases work seamlessly to ensure efficiency. 2. Hammer crusher The 2001 hammer crusher crushes the olives and turns them into a paste using a system of hammers. Furthermore, the crusher crushes the olives uniformly, maximizing oil extraction in the next stage. Furthermore, the system optimizes the particle size of the paste to allow the oil droplets to coalesce effectively during malaxation. Consequently, this stage lays the foundation for efficient oil extraction. 3. Malaxer (malaxing unit) The malaxer, integrated with the mill, plays a fundamental role in the production process. It mixes the olive paste at a controlled temperature, facilitating the separation of oil droplets from water and solids. Furthermore, temperature control ensures the preservation of the organoleptic properties of the extra virgin olive oil. Therefore, the malaxing phase is essential to maximizing oil yield while maintaining quality. 4. Decanter for pomace expulsion with integrated auger The decanter serves as the hub of the separation process. This centrifugal system, designed by the same manufacturer in 2001, separates the oil from the pomace and vegetation water using density differences. Meanwhile, the integrated auger continuously discharges the pomace, maintaining constant production. Therefore, the decanter plays a crucial role in ensuring consistent and efficient oil extraction. 5. Oil Collection Tank The stainless steel tank at the decanter outlet collects the oil, preventing contamination. This ensures safe collection and transfer to the final filtration and storage stages. Furthermore, its design facilitates cleaning, helping maintain hygiene standards throughout the process. 6. Jolly 10 Cellulose Filter The cellulose filter completes the final step before storage. Specifically, the Jolly 10 model, designed for fine filtration, removes micro-impurities and solid residues, producing a clear and stable oil. In turn, this stage ensures that the final product meets quality standards. As a result, the oil leaves the filtration system clean and ready for storage or sale. Efficiency and Continuous Production of this Used Olive Oil Processing Line The 350 kg/h Used Olive Oil Processing Line ensures continuous production by integrating all processing stages into a single automated system. Therefore, its optimized configuration reduces downtime and improves oil extraction while maintaining high quality standards. Furthermore, the line's design ensures operators can easily manage each stage with minimal intervention. Ultimately, this used olive oil processing line provides a complete and technically advanced solution, making it ideal for mills seeking efficient and reliable production. Used Bottling Lines™
