Simply pour clean olives into the receiving hopper where a screw driven by a motor that powers the crusher has a fixed grid with channels discharge impeller blades and grooves.

The crushed olive (i.e. paste produced) falls in the section below, where a special form helical agitator prepares the paste.

  
From there the paste is sent to the decanter where the separation occurs: first comes the oil and the waste residue (made up of waste pomace & water from the olive).  Deal with  different batches by adjusting the decanter.

The whole structure is manufactured is in stainless steel AISI 304 and material for food use. 
This machine carries out the crushing, malaxing and separation process to make olive oil.  (fruit washing and leaf removal are optional extras.)
The whole frame is made of AISI 304 STAINLESS STEEL and food-grade material.

Olive Oil Extraction: Investing in the Right Equipment for Quality Production

OLIVE OIL PROCESSING

Olive Oil Extraction & Investing in the Right Equipment for Quality Production

For businesses and serious growers considering olive oil extraction, the idea of owning a machine for under $10,000 may seem like an attractive entry point. However, achieving high-quality olive oil requires advanced extraction technology that meets food-grade standards. The extraction process is highly technical, demanding specialised equipment to maintain oil integrity and efficiency. This guide will help you understand the essential components of olive oil processing, the investment required, and the best options for entering the market.

The Technology Behind High-Quality Olive Oil Extraction

Many low-cost machines marketed for oil extraction—often priced around $2,000—are screw presses designed for seed and nut oils. These do not meet the requirements for proper olive oil extraction. Producing premium extra virgin olive oil requires specialised machinery that includes:

  • Crushing Systems – Designed to handle the hard-pitted structure of olives while maintaining a low processing temperature to preserve oil quality.
  • Malaxation Tanks – Controlled mixing at precise temperatures allows natural enzymes to release oil from the olive paste while preventing oxidation.
  • Centrifugal Separation – Essential for separating oil, water, and solids efficiently to ensure high yield and purity.

Without these advanced components, it is impossible to produce high-quality olive oil that meets commercial standards.

Breaking Down the Olive Oil Extraction Process

1. Crushing: The First Step to Extraction

  • Requires high-strength crushers to break down tough olive pits.
  • Must operate at low temperatures to preserve the oil’s sensory and nutritional properties.
  • Ensures paste consistency for effective malaxation.

2. Malaxation: Controlling Time & Temperature

  • A slow, controlled mixing process that activates natural enzymes. 
  • Requires low-velocity mixing with high torque to prevent excess oxygen exposure. 
  • Essential for maximizing oil yield and quality.

3. Centrifugal Separation: The Final Stage

  • Uses a decanter centrifuge to separate oil from water and solids. 
  •  A crucial step for achieving purity and optimal extraction efficiency.

Each of these stages demands industrial-grade technology, making low-cost extraction machines impractical for producing high-quality olive oil.

How to Get Started with Olive Oil Extraction

Option 1: Invest in a Professional-Grade Machine – The Frantoino Olive Oil Press

For those serious about maintaining full control over their production, the Frantoino Olive Oil Press is an excellent entry-level option. With a processing capacity of up to 50kg per hour, it delivers professional-quality results in a compact and efficient design. Owning your own machine ensures complete flexibility and control over your olive oil production.

Option 2: Purchase a Pre-Owned Olive Oil Press

f you’re looking for a cost-effective alternative, buying a used machine can provide savings while still allowing you to own your equipment. Though used machines can be harder to source, platforms such as Olive Machinery list available second-hand units.

Option 3: Use a Commercial Olive Processing Service

For those not ready to invest in machinery, a local processing facility provides access to high-grade extraction equipment without the capital investment. To find a processor near you, use The Olive Centre’s Processor Map.

Conclusion: Finding the Right Solution for Your Scale Of Olive Oil Production

Producing high-quality olive oil requires investment in the right equipment and processes. Whether you choose to own a professional machine like the Frantoino, explore second-hand options, or utilise a local processing service, there are solutions to suit different business needs. For those prioritising full control and flexibility, investing in specialized extraction equipment is the best path forward. However, used equipment and local processors provide accessible alternatives for those looking to test the market before committing to a larger investment.
