Condor – Compact and Efficient Olive Destemmer and Leaf Remover | The Olive Centre High-capacity olive cleaning and destemming system for improved oil quality and mill efficiency.
The Condor Destemmer and Leaf Remover series combines compact construction, precision airflow control, and durable stainless-steel design for optimal olive cleaning and destemming.
Engineered for olive mills seeking reliability, efficiency, and high throughput, the Condor efficiently removes leaves, twigs, stones, and foreign material prior to milling.
Operating through ventilation and basket rotation, it ensures gentle handling and prevents mechanical wear or flavour defects caused by impurities.
With variable-speed airflow control, the Condor adapts to different olive varieties and harvesting conditions, reducing maintenance costs and enhancing extraction performance.
Built entirely from AISI 304 stainless steel, it delivers long-term durability and hygienic operation in both Condor 2 (6 t/h) and Condor 3 (10 t/h) configurations.

Why Choose This Product
The Condor Destemmer and Leaf Remover combines compact size, high capacity, and simple maintenance with advanced airflow control for superior cleaning efficiency.
Its dual configuration offers flexibility for both mid- and high-volume olive mills.
By removing contaminants early in the process, it helps ensure higher-quality olive oil, longer equipment lifespan, and improved operating efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Condor destemmer improve olive cleaning efficiency and oil quality?
The Condor series (Condor 2 and Condor 3) improves efficiency by combining airflow separation and basket rotation to remove stems, leaves, and debris before olives enter the milling stage. This process eliminates contaminants such as soil, sticks, and stones, preventing damage to downstream equipment and preserving the natural taste and aroma of the oil.
Clean olives reduce the risk of producing bitter or muddy flavours, leading to higher-quality extra virgin olive oil with better sensory characteristics and longer shelf life. By optimising pre-milling cleanliness, the Condor system ensures that only sound fruit reaches the crusher, enhancing extraction performance and yield consistency.
The precision of its variable-speed ventilation system allows operators to adjust airflow intensity based on olive size and moisture, ensuring efficient separation for both hand-picked and mechanically harvested fruit.
Both models in the Condor range deliver high-performance olive cleaning and destemming,
but they differ primarily in capacity, size, and application scale.
The Condor 2 is ideal for small to medium mills, while the Condor 3 is suited to larger,
high-throughput operations. Below is a detailed comparison:

Maintenance and cleaning of the Condor destemmers are designed to be quick, straightforward, and operator-friendly. The modular stainless-steel structure allows for fast assembly and disassembly, granting full access to the internal basket, blower, and collection chamber.
All main mechanical parts are interchangeable, reducing downtime in the event of wear or malfunction. Daily cleaning typically involves rinsing the basket and air ducts to remove leaf debris and dust. The AISI 304 stainless-steel construction prevents corrosion and ensures full hygiene compliance in food-processing environments.
Thanks to its open-frame design and simple layout, the Condor system minimises cleaning time between harvest shifts — an essential feature for mills operating at full capacity during peak production periods.
Yes — both Condor 2 and Condor 3 are designed for seamless integration into complete olive processing lines. They can connect directly to conveyor belts, weighing systems, fixed trays, crushers, or mill inlets, ensuring efficient fruit transfer and continuous operation.
The units’ compact design allows installation in tight spaces without disrupting existing workflows. When combined with Clemente conveyors and washing systems, the Condor forms part of a complete fruit-reception solution, from raw fruit intake to clean, ready-to-mill olives.
This adaptability and modular compatibility make the Condor range suitable for both new installations and retrofits, improving process flow, reducing manual labour, and ensuring consistent fruit quality for extraction.
