Olives to the Heart

The target of the oil mill is to satisfy the expectations of customers who want to be sure of taking home their own oil Molinova Serie ORO: the perfect solution for processing distinct batches of olives SPI, a continuous extraction system that is ideal for non-batch specific processing In the industrial processing, the olives are selected according to variety and, in many cases, to their origin: olives picked from the plant and olives collected from the ground. A sample is taken out to determine the weight and the information is collected together with all the customer's data; then the fruits are stored together waiting for the beginning of processing. The extraction process runs without interruption and the machines are stopped only for cleaning and maintenance operations. This type of extraction process optimises the kneading volume to the maximum and reduces dead times by continuously feeding the decanter and consequently increasing the performance of the plant. With this system the adjustment of processing times and temperatures is a very simple operation, thanks to the homogeneity of the product and the continuity of the process. The kneading times are programmed during the design stage by setting the kneading section in relation to the hourly flow-rate of the decanter, and setting standard temperatures in order to reach the right temperature during the kneading process. The world of Pieralisi The Pieralisi Group is the only company in the sector that can provide every client with its own “turnkey system”. We design and manufacture our equipment from start to finish, producing machinery for each phase of olive processing, from destemming and washing to crushing, kneading, extraction and separation. Pictures and technical features are not binding. The company reserves the right to modify the features of its products without notice. Registered trademarks. Advertising material © copyright. All rights reserved. In case of batch processing, the oil coming from each single batch must be kept separated from all the others and identified with the owner. Therefore it is necessary to keep the olives separated during all the processing cycle. In this way each batch will be registered with its own yield and pressing costs. The target of the oil mill is to satisfy the expectations of customers who want to be sure of taking home their own oil. To reach this target, the processing plant must have all the specific characteristics to be perfectly qualified to process single batches. To obtain a good quality oil, the plant operator must be able to check the process through updated systems for adjusting and monitoring parameters such as temperature, time, flow-rate, washing, etc. These parameters must be easily modified and adapted, if required, to the characteristics of the different batches. Industrial processing Batch processing Pieralisi is ISO 9001 certified. Every one of our machines is designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards, guaranteeing compliance with key directives such as the 2006/42/EC Machinery Directive, the 2006/95/EC Low Voltage Directive, the 2004/108/EC Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive and the 94/9/EC ATEX Equipment Directive, as well as UL Standards. When you purchase a Pieralisi system, not only are you acquiring the best machinery available, you are also stepping into a world where the client is guided through each stage of the process, from the initial estimate to the finished article. You will always find us close at hand, ready to assist, even after your equipment is up and running. We provide our clients with a full technical consultation, identifying the system and machinery that best suits their needs and designing a tailored layout for each installation. Installation and testing are carried out by our own technicians who also guarantee responsive and effective long-term support post sale, including scheduled maintenance and ongoing technical assistance. The attention to detail that goes into the design and manufacture of each item of Pieralisi machinery is also evident in the production of our own spare parts, a process that allows us to guarantee the reliability and performance of our machinery over time and, as such, guarantee the consistency of the client’s own products. All of our original spare parts are produced to the highest standards and are covered by a guarantee. This is the world of Pieralisi, where the client is treated as a partner and placed at the centre of everything we do. We organise regular workshops examining technical, legislative, management and marketing issues and in-house events where we highlight innovative new products and processes.

Traditional method Continuous method The age-old method for extracting olive oil. Before the olives are processed, any remaining leaves are removed and the fruit is washed to remove any impurities that might impart unpleasant flavours and aromas to the oil. The olives are crushed using two or more granite wheels known as molazze, which are fixed to an axis and roll around a circular trough, breaking down the fruit and the kernels. The molazze and the base of the trough do not touch, rather they are kept just a few millimetres apart to avoid crushing the kernel too finely. This helps the oil...
