Description
Malaxing is a crucial step in the olive oil extraction process, because it plays a major role in determining the quality and quantity of the product obtained.
The malaxing process consists of a slow stirring of the paste while it is being heated. This combination causes the microscopic oil and water drops to coalesce, forming increasingly larger drops, which can then be successfully recovered in a horizontal decanter centrifuge. The malaxing temperature and time are both carefully controlled.
The Atmosphera malaxer key features and benefits:
• Effective internal spraying system to dilute paste and clean the malaxer with no need to open the machine.
• Easy to monitor the process through an anti-fog, heated sight glass and LED light (cold light).
• Full control with PLC and touch screen for complete traceability of process data.
• Control system with sensors for maximum and minimum levels.
• Reduced exposure to oxygen and maximum volatile retention due to closed design.
• Quick access to the inside of the malaxer if needed, via a cover fitted with quick-release clamps.
• Even paste treatment and improved extraction due to cylindrical shape and elimination of dead zones.
Reduced malaxing time and less impact on paste due to increased heat transfer area and shorter heating time.
