Technical Specifications & Performance DataThese Pieralisi olive oil
malaxers are second hand processing units designed for the malaxation
stage in industrial olive oil extraction lines. As a key step between
crushing and centrifugal separation, the malaxers homogenize and
condition the olive paste to optimize oil yield and quality. The units
are currently installed and have been maintained with regular annual
service and cleaning. Suitable for integration into a used bottling
line or broader industrial packaging and processing environment, they
provide reliable throughput for producers seeking dependable
performance in food and beverage production facilities.Manufacturer:
PieralisiYear of manufacture: 2000Process role: Malaxation/kneading of
olive paste prior to decanter centrifugeIndicative capacity:
approximately 20 quintals/hour (â 2,000 kg/h), dependent on
crusher and centrifuge sizingConfiguration: Installed units, paired
with upstream crusher and downstream centrifugeApplication: Olive oil
extraction lines with subsequent clarification, storage, and
packagingAdvanced Automation & Control SystemsThe malaxers are
engineered for continuous-duty operation with straightforward operator
control for start/stop and process timing. The system design supports
stable, repeatable processing, allowing consistent paste conditioning
to enhance separation efficiency at the decanter centrifuge stage. The
controls architecture is geared toward dependable operation and easy
operator interaction, aligning with common plant standards for
industrial packaging and food processing lines.Production Line
Integration CapabilitiesIntegration is optimized for complete olive
oil production lines that include a crusher (frangitore) upstream and
a decanter centrifuge downstream. The malaxers work inline with pumps,
balance tanks, and ancillary equipment, allowing smooth transfer of
paste and minimal downtime. The indicative throughput of about 2,000
kg/h is influenced by the capacities of both the crusher and
centrifuge, ensuring balanced line performance. These units fit
seamlessly into existing production layouts and can serve operations
that later connect to storage, filtration, and bottling
machinery.Machine Condition & Maintenance HistoryThe malaxers are
installed and have been subject to regular annual maintenance and
cleaning. Their upkeep supports reliable operation and reduces the
need for immediate refurbishment. As second hand equipment, they are
suitable for facilities seeking robust used machinery that can be
prepared for rapid recommissioning.Operational Performance &
VersatilityDesigned for consistent paste conditioning, these malaxers
help achieve stable oil recovery at the separation stage. The
configuration supports a range of olive varieties and processing
conditions, delivering uniform mixing and dwell time to promote
effective coalescence of oil droplets. The throughput depends on line
balancing with the crusher and centrifuge, ensuring the malaxers can
operate efficiently within various plant capacities.Installation
Requirements & Site PreparationInstallation typically situates the
malaxers between the crusher and decanter centrifuge with adequate
service access for routine cleaning and annual maintenance. Line
connections accommodate standard process interfaces used in olive oil
extractionâfacilitating pump transfers, paste feed, and discharge
to separation equipment. Layout planning should provide clearances for
inspection and hygienic service procedures customary in food
processing environments.Safety Standards & Compliance CertificationThe
units are intended to operate within standard industrial safety
practices, with operator protections consistent with typical
processing equipment. Guarding, emergency stop access, and hygienic
procedures support safe, reliable operation in food processing plants
handling edible oils. Construction and design principles align with
professional expectations for equipment used in industrial packaging
and processing lines.
