MORI-TEM FR.350 Olive Flavour Crusher | The Olive Centre
High-capacity stainless-steel crusher for continuous olive paste production.
The MORI-TEM FR.350 Olive Flavour Crusher delivers high-capacity, precision crushing for professional olive oil producers.
Featuring a 350 mm crushing grid and adjustable feed screw, it processes large olive volumes efficiently while preserving oil quality.
Its powerful drive motor and grooved impeller knives guarantee even paste formation with minimal temperature rise.
All contact parts are AISI 304 stainless steel, ensuring food safety, durability, and fast cleaning.
Engineered for integration with continuous extraction systems, the FR.350 combines speed, strength, and precision in one machine built for serious production demands.
Uses
Ideal for medium-to-large olive mills, the FR.350 prepares olive paste for malaxation and decanting, supporting consistent extraction results with minimal oxidation or nutrient loss.

Frequently Asked Questions
The FR.250 and FR.350 crushers are built on the same design principles but differ in grid diameter and motor power.
FR.250: 250 mm grid diameter, 5–6 kW power, weight ~195–205 kg.
FR.350: 350 mm grid diameter, 8–32 kW power, weight ~220–350 kg.
The FR.350’s larger screen and motor allow higher throughput, making it suitable for medium-to-large mills, while the FR.250 serves small to medium producers seeking precise, low-temperature crushing.
Both feature stainless-steel AISI 304 construction, adjustable-speed feed screws, and a dedicated elliptical-piston pump beneath the crusher for paste transfer to the malaxers.
Each crusher features a hopper with a variable-speed feed screw, allowing operators to regulate olive flow for consistent crushing pressure. The helical impeller with grooved knives breaks fruit gently without overheating, preserving aroma and phenolic content.
The optional pre-crusher system roughly breaks the olives before they reach the blades, enhancing texture uniformity and reducing load on the main impeller. This soft-crushing method prevents excessive emulsion formation, producing a cleaner paste and improving oil extraction yield.
Cleaning is quick and efficient thanks to the external cleaning device positioned outside the crushing grid, which continuously removes residue during operation.
For daily maintenance:
Rinse the crushing chamber and hopper with warm water after each processing session.
Inspect knives and screens for wear or residue buildup.
Lubricate bearings and inspect seals periodically.
The stainless-steel build (AISI 304) ensures full corrosion resistance and easy sanitation using food-safe detergents. Optional inverter control inside the electrical cabinet allows motor-speed adjustments for better process control and lower mechanical stress during cleaning.
Both crushers are designed for direct connection to the malaxer group within a continuous extraction system. Positioned beneath the hopper, the elliptical-piston pump automatically transfers freshly crushed paste to the malaxing tanks.
The units are fully compatible with MORI-TEM, Clemente, and Barigelli extraction systems and can be configured with other fruit-reception or washing systems. The adjustable motor and inverter make integration seamless with variable-speed lines, ensuring steady paste flow that matches malaxer capacity and decanter feed rate.
