Olive oil production line FORMA

automaticcontinuous

FORMA plants have been designed for the processing of standard batches in a continuous or non-continuous cycle. The crusher on 2GL models is installed above the malaxer with separate discharge on vats 1 or 2; for models 3GL and 4GL the crusher is separate. How oxygen is managed at the infeed of the crusher characterises processing and represents a very important factor that allows the formation of Lipoxygenase and therefore Flavours. Equally important for the final quality of the product is the temperature delta of the paste between entering and exiting the crusher. Malaxing is in a closed malaxer to prevent the paste from oxidising and control the temperature efficiently. For 2GL models, the paste is delivered by an auger and for models 3GL and 4GL by a pump controlled by a solenoid valve and it is discharged by a Model PSS elliptical piston pump installed on each single malaxer. Cleaning is facilitated by the top cover that fully opens, so that there are no points where processing residues can remain. The horizontal decanter that separates liquid from solid was developed to obtain the maximum output at the maximum quality; auger 2.0 was built to obtain a product that is always clean without adding water; there is no temperature increase during extraction.
