From olives to full value

Maximize oil yield and unlock by-product potential to turn olives into gold

At ANDRITZ, we go beyond olive oil extraction – we deliver complete solutions to maximize the value of every part of the olive. From high-performance decanter centrifuges ensuring maximum oil yield and premium quality, to advanced technologies that unlock the potential of by-products such as olive leaves, our solutions cover the entire process. Our expertise combines process optimization, product quality preservation, and by-product valorization, helping producers improve profitability while moving towards more sustainable and efficient operations.

F-series decanter for olive oil processing

Adjustable skimmer on decanter centrifuge F

Adjustable skimmer in operation to insure a better clarification and a yield optimisation

Decanter centrifuges

The decanter centrifuge F designed and manufactured by ANDRITZ is a highly versatile machine, capable of delivering lowest oil content in the cake for any variety of olive processed. With a special scroll design perfectly suited for olive oil extraction and an adjustable skimmer to control and adjust separation efficiency in live machine operation, you will obtain maximum yield at all times, supreme quality (as the oil separated will contain less contaminants), and in the end, the flavor and flagrance of the oil produced will benefit from this.

Benefits

Unique scroll design for lowest oil loss in the cake
Only high-grade stainless steel comes into contact with the product in order to ensure better quality
Double motor drives to adjust machine speed during processing when the optimum process mode is achieved, thus always generating maximum yield
Two frequency converters for speed control with energy regenerating mode.
Fully replaceable wear parts, even tiles on the scroll for a fast and easy regenerative procedure with substantial money saving
No additional water is required for the process (no oxidation, thus preserving quality and organoleptic properties)
Dedicated machine for either 2-phase or 3-phase processing

Extract valuable neutraceutical from olive leaves with ANDRITZ Turbex

Beyond olive oil – valorizing olive by-products with Turbex extractor

Olive processing doesn’t stop at oil extraction. With ANDRITZ, you can also valorize olive leaves and other by-products into high-value compounds such as polyphenols and functional ingredients. Thanks to the ANDRITZ Turbex extractor, producers can transform by-products into new revenue streams while reducing waste.

Turbex enables:

Up to +50% extraction yield
Shorter processing time and better product quality
Conversion of by-products into valuable ingredients and nutrients

By integrating Turbex technology, ANDRITZ enables a circular approach to olive processing – reducing waste, improving resource efficiency, and generating additional revenue streams from what was previously discarded.
