ALFA LAVAL

Used AMENDUNI complete oil prodaction line 20 qlhTechnical Specifications & Performance DataThis complete continuous-cycle olive oil line is engineered for efficient, high-throughput extraction with integrated handling, crushing, malaxing, separation, and decantation. Manufactured by AMENDUNI, it provides a robust platform for second hand industrial packaging and food processing environments, supporting seamless integration with downstream bottling and industrial packaging operations for edible oils.Operating mode: Continuous-cycle olive oil extraction lineManufacturer: AMENDUNIYear: 1987Throughput: Up to 20 quintals per hour (approx. 2,000 kg/h)Included equipment: olives conveyor, leaf remover, stainless steel hopper, screw conveyors, hammer crusher, 4 stainless steel malaxers, 2 paste pumps, 2 decanter centrifuges, pomace screw conveyor, 4 stainless steel decantation tanks, separators, complete electrical panel, pomace-fired boilerConstruction: Stainless steel on key product-contact units (malaxers, hopper, decantation tanks)Use case: Olive oil extraction and clarification prior to bottling/packagingAdvanced Automation & Control SystemsThe line includes a complete electrical panel designed for centralized control of core processes such as crushing, malaxing, paste transfer, decanting, and separation. The control architecture supports safe equipment interlocks and coordinated start/stop sequences across devices, improving uptime and process consistency. Temperature control of malaxers, motor protection, and emergency circuits are managed through the main panel for dependable production. Quick access to drives and instrumentation simplifies routine checks and adjustments during campaign operations.Production Line Integration CapabilitiesThis system manages the primary extraction workflow, integrating seamlessly with fruit reception and washing units. Its modular design ensures a fluid transition from raw fruit to high-quality oil, focusing entirely on the mechanical transformation process. Engineered for industrial efficiency, the system delivers finished oil ready for bulk storage or filtration through a streamlined, high-performance infrastructure.Inline or semi-standalone operation for each individual processing stage.Steady and controlled transfers between units via high-efficiency pumps and screw conveyors.Layout adaptability to suit diverse facility footprints and storage configurations (tank farms).Optimized for edible oil workflows leading directly to bulk storage or filtration stages.Machine Condition & Maintenance HistoryThe installation is complete and reported as functional, with all major components included. It is currently stopped, offering a solid candidate for recommissioning. The comprehensive equipment list reduces the need for sourcing auxiliary machines and supports a coordinated restart plan.Operational Performance & VersatilityDesigned for continuous processing, the line stabilizes paste quality via controlled malaxing and efficient phase separation with decanter centrifuges and final polishing through separators. The multi-stage configuration helps achieve consistent yield and clarity across different olive varieties and harvest conditions. Stainless steel product-contact components support hygienic processing and easy cleaning, while the integrated boiler supplies the required process heat for optimal malaxation and viscosity control.Stable throughput up to 20 q/h for medium-scale productionMultiple malaxers for residence time management and flexibilityDecanter centrifuges for primary separation and high recoveryFinal separation stage to enhance product qualityInstallation Requirements & Site PreparationThe line is designed for industrial settings with appropriate utilities and floor space for processing, transfers, and tank placement. A boiler is included for process heat. Allocate space for maintenance access around malaxers, centrifuges, and the electrical panel. Utilities typically include electrical power, process heat from the boiler, and water for sanitation and cleaning-in-place routines as defined by plant SOPs. Structural support and anchoring points for rotating equipment (crusher, centrifuges) are recommended to minimize vibration.Safety Standards & Compliance CertificationSafety provisions include centralized emergency stop via the electrical panel and protective enclosures around rotating and moving parts, consistent with industrial practice for processing machinery of this class. Stainless steel construction on key product-contact equipment supports hygienic operation in food environments. Operators should follow plant safety procedures, lock-out/tag-out routines, and routine inspections of guards, interlocks, and wiring to maintain compliance with applicable regulations.
