FROM RECEPTION TO OLIVE OIL

Olive Pressing

Η έκθλιψη ελαιοκάρπου αποτελεί την κεντρική δραστηριότητα του ελαιοτριβείου ΑΥΡΗΛΙΩΝΗΣ. Στόχος μας είναι η σωστή διαχείριση του καρπού από τη στιγμή που φτάνει στο ελαιοτριβείο έως την παραγωγή και την αποθήκευση του ελαιολάδου.

Η διαδικασία γίνεται με σύγχρονο μηχανολογικό εξοπλισμό, ελεγχόμενες συνθήκες και συνεχή παρακολούθηση κρίσιμων παραμέτρων, όπως ο χρόνος, η θερμοκρασία και η καθαρότητα του καρπού.

Stages of Olive Oil Production

01

Olive Fruit Reception

The olive fruit is received at the mill and logged, so that the oil production process can begin with proper organization and traceability.

02

Cleaning

The fruit goes through defoliation and washing, to remove leaves, twigs, soil, and other foreign matter before moving on to production.

 

03

Crushing

The cleaned olive fruit is fed into the crushers, where it is ground into a paste (olive mash).

04

Malaxation

The olive paste is fed into the malaxers, where it is slowly stirred for a specific time and at a controlled temperature. Malaxation is one of the most critical stages of the process, as it directly affects the characteristics of the resulting olive oil.

05

Centrifugation

The olive paste passes through two-phase centrifugal machines, where the olive oil is separated from the remaining solid and liquid parts of the fruit.

06

Separation

The olive oil goes through a final separation stage, to remove any remaining moisture and foreign matter.

07

Analysis and Storage

The resulting olive oil is evaluated, categorized, and stored in suitable tanks, according to its characteristics.
