Frequently Asked Questions
The Clemente Cleaning and Washing System plays a vital role in ensuring high-quality olive oil production by removing impurities such as leaves, soil, stones, and debris before the crushing stage. Clean olives prevent mechanical wear on processing equipment and reduce the risk of off-flavours or bitterness caused by contamination.
Each model in the range — from the compact Rain to the industrial Ocean 4 — features high-pressure water jets, vibrating grids, and integrated decantation tanks. These systems use recirculated and filtered water to ensure thorough cleaning while conserving resources. The result is a cleaner, more consistent olive feed that optimises both oil yield and flavour profile while protecting critical downstream machinery such as crushers and decanters.
The Rain and Ocean series are designed for different mill capacities and automation levels. Below is a comparison of the core specifications and applications for each model:

Each system in the range shares Clemente’s stainless-steel construction, advanced water recycling, and compact design — but capacity, tank size, and automation vary depending on production scale.
Clemente washing systems feature integrated decantation and recycling tanks that continuously filter and reuse wash water, drastically reducing overall consumption. Sediment and impurities settle in the decantation tank while clean water is recirculated for reuse, maintaining hygiene without constant replacement.
Models such as the Ocean 2, 3, and 4 incorporate multi-stage filtration and large-capacity tanks (5,000–10,000 L) to extend the operational cycle before maintenance. This closed-loop design cuts water waste, lowers operational costs, and aligns with modern sustainability and environmental compliance standards — essential for mills aiming to reduce their ecological footprint while maintaining premium oil quality.
Yes — all Clemente washing and cleaning systems are fully compatible with existing olive oil reception and extraction lines. Each model can be configured to connect with conveyor belts, hoppers, leaf removers, weighing systems, or crushers, depending on the facility’s layout.
Their modular stainless-steel construction and standard power configuration (380 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz) make integration straightforward for both new installations and system upgrades. The design flexibility allows mills to streamline workflow from reception to crushing, enhancing efficiency, hygiene, and overall process continuity.
