Pieralisi Hopper

Vertical pyrolysis centrifuges are a suitable technological solution to complete the separation process performed by receiver centrifuges. Centrifugal separators, with very high rotational speeds, can reach a centrifugal force of up to 10,000 grams. This very high centrifugal force is a key element that allows the separators to remove solid particles that have not been successfully trapped in previous separation steps. In addition, the achievable performance levels depend on many factors: structural (type and design of the disc, internal volume, surfaces and discharge devices) and operational (flow rate, product characteristics, amount and type of solid content, temperature).

The product enters the upper part of the separator through the feed tube for clarification and is then subjected to centrifugal force and is forced to pass through hundreds of internal disks. The combined operation of the centrifugal force combined with the internal disks leads to the separation of solid particles that deposit on the drum wall and are then automatically and intermittently discharged. Fluids rise to the top of the drum and are continuously discharged through free outlets or centrifugal pumps.

The design and manufacturing quality of Pieralisi crushers ensure leak-free processing while maintaining a low temperature. They are also designed to adapt to different types of olives. Unlike other common crushers that are equipped with a fixed grid, pyrolysis crushers are equipped with a unique anti-rotation grid. Crushing and softening processes are the starting point of the most delicate steps in the olive oil production process; The quality of the oil, how the flavors are created, and the extraction performance of the oil depend on the type of crushing and the next cooling step.* Reserves the right to change the features without prior notice. *

Olives must be chopped properly to do the following:

  • Facilitate the extraction of oils and important fine compounds;
  • Divide the cores into appropriately sized pieces to ensure more efficient cooling and more efficient centrifugal extraction.

Minimize dough oxidation (reduce peroxide).
