Product catalog summary
Introduction to HILLER Decanter Centrifuges
HILLER decanter centrifuges have been utilized for over 50 years in the extraction of high-quality olive oil, particularly in major EU countries like Spain, Greece, and Italy. The technology is recognized for its gentle processing, which preserves the valuable substances in olives due to special rotor geometries and minimal oxygen exposure.

Technological Features
The decanter technology allows for a seamless transition from a 3-phase to a 2-phase operation without reducing capacity, utilizing the HILLER 2-phase DecaPress process. This flexibility, combined with high oil yield and quality, underscores the technology's success and reliability in the industry.

System Components and Process
The document includes a schematic diagram of an olive processing plant system featuring a 2-phase centrifuge. Key components include a separator, screw conveyor, control cabinet with HILLER SEE-Control pro, 2-step thermo mixer with agitator, hammer mill, piston pump, and shaking sieve.

Product Range and Specifications
HILLER offers a variety of technologies for phase extraction, including weir disks, adjustable tube nozzles, and skimming disks. The decanters are customizable with screw diameters ranging from 260 to 760mm, outputs from 1,000kg/h to 35,000kg/h, and diameter/length ratios from 1:3 to 1:4.5. They are available in stainless steel models.

Applications Beyond Olive Oil
HILLER decanters are also applicable for extracting and clarifying other vegetable oils such as rapeseed, avocado, and palm oil.

Drive Units and Options
Various models of HILLER decanters are available for generating differential speeds using external bowl/conveyor screws, driven by hydraulics or FSG-drive systems.

Conclusion
HILLER GmbH provides a comprehensive range of decanter centrifuge solutions tailored to meet diverse industrial needs, ensuring high-quality oil extraction and reliable operation.

Extracting vegetable oils-1

DECANTER CENTRIFUGES & PLANTS FOR SOLID/LIQUID SEPARATION EXTRACTING VEGETABLE OILS WITH HILLER DECANTERS Centrifuge technology for extracting vegetable oils HILLER decanters have been successfully used for more than 50 years for the extraction of high quality olive oil. In Spain, as well as in Greece and Italy, three of the most important EU countries in olive oil production, HILLER is among the market leaders in the sector Gentle processing thanks to special rotor geometries and low oxygen content The extraction of olive oil using decanters is a fully automated process, and thanks to the enclosed system there is minimal oxygen contact. The special rotor geometry ensures particularly high quality oil that preserves all the valuable substances in the olives. Changeover from 3-phase to 2-phase operation with no reduction in capacity Simple conversion - with no reduction in capacity from the standard 3-phase process - to the modern HILLER 2-phase DecaPress process can be implemented at any time. In addition to the exceptionally high quality of the oil, the yield plays an especially important role The HILLER decanter sets the highest standards, representing a further reason for its success in the industry. Inter national references in the olive oil industry reflect both the first class functioning of the technology as well as the excellent level of service that HILLER offers its customers. For HILLER it stands to reason that fault-free operation must be guaranteed during the season. separation & process
