Practical Benefits & Process Outcomes:

The Barigelli 1800 kg Malaxing Assembly plays a crucial role in the olive oil extraction process by conditioning the paste for efficient oil release. Through gentle, controlled mixing and thermal stabilization, the system encourages small oil droplets to merge into larger ones, improving oil separation during centrifugation.

Its temperature-controlled design helps protect natural aromas and antioxidants, maintaining the sensory and chemical quality of extra virgin olive oil. The system’s low-speed mixing paddles prevent oxidation and ensure uniform treatment of all paste sections, leading to stable, high-quality oil output.

This assembly also helps reduce energy consumption thanks to efficient heat exchange and insulation, while the stainless-steel build guarantees hygiene and durability in continuous production environments. Cleaning is simplified by smooth internal surfaces and wide access covers, allowing fast turnaround between processing batches.

In summary, the Barigelli Malaxing Assembly provides reliable operation, consistent paste conditioning, and high recovery efficiency — key advantages for mills aiming for premium oil quality and sustained production performance.

Frequently Asked Questions – Barigelli Olive Paste Malaxing Assembly

The Barigelli Olive Paste Malaxing Assembly plays a key role in the olive oil extraction process. Once olives are crushed into paste, this unit gently mixes and warms the paste to encourage the small oil droplets to combine into larger ones — a process known as malaxation. This stage is essential for maximising oil yield and ensuring the highest possible quality.

By maintaining a stable, controlled temperature and uniform mixing, the Barigelli system helps optimise oil separation in the next stage of extraction. It also preserves the natural aromas, flavours, and nutritional properties of the oil. The 1800kg capacity makes it suitable for medium to large producers who need consistent performance across high-volume production runs. The result is efficient processing with minimal oxidation and superior extra virgin olive oil quality.
This malaxing assembly has been engineered to enhance both production efficiency and end-product quality. Its stainless-steel construction ensures food safety and easy cleaning, while the sealed mixing chambers prevent contamination and heat loss. The system provides uniform temperature control, which is critical for maintaining enzymatic activity during malaxation.

Consistent mixing allows for better oil droplet coalescence, which means higher extraction yields without compromising purity. The design also minimises oxygen exposure — a major factor in oxidation — preserving freshness and extending the oil’s shelf life. In combination with other Barigelli processing units, this malaxer becomes part of a smooth, continuous extraction line, offering reliable throughput and reduced downtime during harvest season.

For producers focusing on quality-driven, sustainable production, the Barigelli assembly ensures that every batch delivers optimal clarity, aroma, and flavour.
Regular maintenance is essential for maximising the life and performance of your malaxing equipment. After each production cycle, the interior surfaces, paddles, and temperature control system should be thoroughly cleaned to prevent paste buildup and residue accumulation. Using warm water and food-safe detergents ensures that no oil or organic matter remains, which can otherwise affect efficiency and hygiene.

Periodic checks of seals, bearings, and temperature probes help maintain consistent operation. The machine should always be operated within the manufacturer’s recommended temperature range to prevent overheating and to maintain product integrity. Lubrication of moving parts according to schedule also reduces wear and mechanical stress.

When properly maintained, the Barigelli Olive Paste Malaxing Assembly delivers years of dependable service — supporting consistent production capacity, lower maintenance costs, and consistently high-quality olive oil extraction.

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.
