Ready for integration with centralized plc/hmi control
Provision for start/stop sequencing across crusher, malaxers, decanter, and separators
Emergency-stop circuits and safety guarding recommended around rotating assemblies
Main electrical switchboard to be provided by the buyer (not included)
Production Line Integration Capabilities
This processing line is engineered to operate inline upstream of an edible oil bottling line
It interfaces seamlessly with downstream storage, filtration, and filling systems for retail or bulk packaging
Multiple malaxer sections provide format flexibility for varying batch sizes and olive characteristics, while the decanter and separators deliver continuous clarification suited to high-quality oil production
Olive elevator Alfa Laval
Hammer crusher Alfa Laval
Malaxer 1 section Alfa Laval
Malaxer 4 sections Sacmi / 4/s
Decanter centrifuge Alfa Laval / lwx 207
Separator Alfa Laval / 407 (qty: 2)
Machine Condition and Maintenance History
The line is offered as a second hand, used processing solution
It is currently out of operation and stored, making it suitable for buyers who plan a controlled installation and commissioning window
The olive washer and the main electrical switchboard are not included, so the purchaser will complete these items to match plant standards and utilities
Core stainless-steel process components present a solid foundation for refurbishment and integration with a modern control philosophy
Status: in storage, second hand
Missing items: olive washer, main electrical switchboard
Core Alfa Laval and Sacmi modules present
Operational Performance and Versatility
Designed for extra-virgin and refined olive oil production, this line supports a steady flow from fruit reception to clarified oil
The hammer crusher ensures consistent paste, the single- and four-section malaxers enable flexible residence times and temperature control strategies, and the Alfa Laval lwx decanter handles continuous phase separation
The two Alfa Laval 407 separators provide downstream polishing, supporting stable clarity and shelf life
The configuration is suitable for premium batch processing as well as continuous operation aligned with peak harvest periods
Suited to a range of olive varieties and maturities
Batch and continuous operation strategies supported by multi-section malaxing
Continuous decanting with downstream polishing for quality oil
Ideal upstream of edible oil filling, capping, labeling, and industrial packaging systems
Installation Requirements and Site Preparation
Plan for a linear flow layout from reception/elevation through crushing, malaxing, decanting, and separation
Provide adequate access for sanitation, maintenance, and lifting equipment around the decanter and separators
Utilities must match the selected drives, motors, and control cabinet design provided by the buyer
Electrical power sized to motors of crusher, malaxers, decanter, separators, and conveyors
Water for sanitation/cip and general cleaning
Compressed air for actuators and valve islands (as configured)
Drainage and waste management for pomace and wastewater
Foundation and anchoring suitable for rotating equipment and vibration control
Safety Standards and Compliance Certification
Guarding, interlocks, and emergency-stop systems should be implemented around rotating and hot surfaces in accordance with applicable safety directives
Food-contact components are typically in stainless steel to support hygiene standards required for edible oil processing
Final ce compliance and documentation will depend on the buyer’s electrical panel design, risk assessment, and the integration of safety systems during commissioning
Operator guarding and interlocked access on crusher, malaxers, and centrifuges
Emergency-stop stations along the line
Hygienic design with stainless-steel process contact parts
Compliance achievable through proper integration and validation at installation
