Recently, JIPL was approached for our expertise in separation and dewatering by a Waiheke olive oil manufacturer. The manufacturer produces award-winning extra virgin olive oils – both single varietals and blends, grown and milled on Waiheke Island. Our client ordered a Pieralisi Bravo centrifugal separator for the separation of olive oil, pulp, and pomace to improve the quality of their products and reduce their environmental impact.
Pieralisi are worldwide experts in extraction and centrifugal separation and leaders in the olive oil industry. The New Zealand producer chose to use Pieralisi’s advanced technology to further their aim of achieving and maintaining outstanding quality products and to increase their profitable growth.
Pieralisi’s Bravo centrifugal separator is the ideal solution for separating olive oil and the pomace and pulp component.
The advantages of this process include:
- Faster separation times
- Greater efficiency
- Increased product purity and quality
- Better handling of the pulp material and elimination of excess water content
The centrifugal separator consists of:
Model: Bravo with Feeding Tank
The heavy and expensive sediment discharge operation is performed by simple operation with a tap, offering considerable time savings.
To make this operation easier the BRAVO separator is equipped with a double tank for operating and washing water.
For oil separation from solids particles and vegetation water, the separator consists of:
- a main frame made of cast iron divided into two sectors, in order to reduce the vibration
- transmission by oil bath gears, high-speed bearings
- a cover for oil and vegetation water discharge
- an automatic discharge system for solids sediments
- a soft starting system with a mechanical centrifugal clutch
Working together to protect the environment.
Pieralis’s equipment offers significant advantages in terms of production and sustainability. It not only improves the quality of the extracted oil but is also able to separate the pulp from the pomace (ideal for reuse in composting or animal feeding) and eliminate the production of vegetation water, reducing the environmental impact.
Highly specialised in the field of centrifuges, Pieralisi has put its know-how to work in creating a wide range of separators, adding to its long list of success stories in technology.
Pieralisi separators guarantee outstanding performance. Using the best materials and the correct production process ensures trouble-free operation and long-lasting machinery.
JIPL has the right technology to help olive oil manufacturers achieve their goals and cut costs. Our high-quality equipment will optimize production efficiency, reduce waste and costs, and ensure that your products meet the highest quality standards.
