Barigelli olive oil machinery installations detail the complete journey from fruit preparation to final oil extraction. Each installation shows how individual components-crushers, malaxers, decanters, and clarification systems - work in synchrony to deliver consistent, high-quality olive oil. The following sections summarise each functional stage of the production line, referencing installation examples.

Watch how advanced Barigelli olive oil processing systems operate, showcasing efficient and reliable technology for modern olive oil production.
 

Crushing and Malaxing Units

Barigelli Crusher And Malaxing Unit With Integrated Control Panel

This installation combines olive crushing and paste malaxing in a compact continuous system. The crusher prepares the olive paste uniformly before transfer to the malaxing tanks, where controlled mixing optimises oil separation. Integrated control settings manage paste temperature, timing, and batch flow to maximise extraction efficiency.

       Barigelli Decanter Evolution and Mobile Olive Oil Extraction Units

Barigelli’s high-capacity decanter systems designed to separate oil, water, and solids in a single continuous process. The horizontal design ensures high separation efficiency, reduced energy consumption, and easy maintenance access for operators.

Barigelli Early Decanter Models and First Olive Oil Plant

Barigelli’s pioneering olive oil extraction technology - from the early B/D 400 (1995) and B/D 500 (1998) decanters to the B/DF 400H hydraulic version and the first complete olive oil plant (1998). These models mark the foundation of Barigelli’s innovation in continuous olive oil processing systems.

Barigelli Decanter and Mobile Extraction Units (2005 - 2009)

Barigelli’s advanced range of decanters and mobile olive oil extraction units developed between 2005 and 2009. The models include B/DF 125 (2007), B/DF 800H (2005), and B/DF 650 XLH (2009), alongside mobile versions such as the B/DF 125H (2008) and B/DF 400LH (2007). These systems represent a leap in continuous extraction technology, combining high efficiency, portability, and precision oil separation.

Oil clarification are critical steps that can help to maintain the purity, stability, and quality of extra virgin olive oil. Once oil has been separated in the decanter, it still contains microscopic solids, waxes, and water traces. Vertical separators separate unwanted parts to minimise fermentation and cloudiness, ensuring that the oil remains bright, aromatic, and longer-lasting. Barigelli systems feature stainless-steel food-grade modules integrated directly into the processing line, allowing continuous operation without halting production or creating bottlenecks. Their modular construction supports single or multi-stage malaxation.
