Description
Olives are fed to the crusher through a short screw-conveyor assembly that leads the olives into the zone where rotating hammers equipped with wear-resistant metal plates crush the olives against a stationary grid.
The diameter of the holes in the interchangeable grid determines the thickness of the paste.
After passing through the grid, the paste drops into a hopper or directly into a pump, from where it is transported to the malaxing section.
