FLOTTWEG CENTRIFUGES
for olive oil production
The production of olive oil has
occurred since antiquity.
Ancient olive-oil making was
strictly done by hand. Later
on, simple machines such as
mechanical presses and pan
grinders driven by human or
animal power were used. The
separation of oil, fruit water, and
pulp was done by static settling.
At the present time, making
olive oil is a continuous process
using modern machinery.
At FLOTTWEG there has since
been constant development in
order to improve the DECANTER
performance in terms of oil
yield, throughput capacity, and
machine lifetime. During this
time, FLOTTWEG has delivered
thousands of DECANTERS and
TRICANTERS ® to all olive oil
producing countries in the world.
In the early 1970s, FLOTTWEG
was one of the first companies
to introduce DECANTERS to the
olive oil production process,
replacing the existing hydraulic
press method.
The olive oil process
Olive oil processing
Prior to processing, olives are
cleaned from leaves, bits of
branches, stones, soil, and ot-
her impurities. Then a mash is
produced by crushing the oli-
ves and the olive stones. This
mash is conveyed to the mala-
xer or kneading mill. Through
malaxing, the oil is released
from the oil cells by which it is
encapsulated. The malaxing
procedure is critical for oil yield
and oil quality. The parameters
of influence are holding time
and temperature. Then the mash
is pumped to the FLOTTWEG
DECANTER (2-phase) or
TRICANTER ® (3-phase)
for separation. In the
TRICANTER ® (3-phase),
the mash is separated into oil,
fruit water and solids, i. e., olive
stone debris and pulp. On the
way to the TRICANTER ® , dilu-
tion water is added to the feed
in order to fluidize the mash. In
the 2-phase process, the mash
is separated into oil as liquid
phase and solid phase (pom-
ace) consisting of olive stone
debris, pulp and fruit water. The
2-phase process requires very
little or no dilution water in the

feed to the DECANTER. The oil
from the FLOTTWEG
DECANTER or TRICANTER ®
is then polished using a disc
stack centrifuge, which sepa-
rates the residual amount of
water and solid impurities to
obtain a clean oil. In the 3-
phase process, a second disc
stack centrifuge is used to
recover the residual oil from
the water phase.
The advantage of the 2-phase
process is low water consump-
tion and a low amount of waste
water produced, however, the
solid phase turns out to be a
highly humid paste difficult for
further processing, such as
thermal drying and solvent ex-
traction of residual oil. Conver-
sely, in the 3-phase process,
the solid phase is significantly
dryer and easier to handle for
transportation and processing.
Water consumption and relat-
ed waste water production is
noticeably higher than using
the 2-phase process. The de-
cision of whether to apply 2- or
3-phase processing depends
on local and individual circum-
stances.
again via a second stage.
Generally, for the second ex-
traction the same kind of
equipment is used as for the
first extraction. In some cases
there is a de-pitter to separate
the stone debris from the pulp
prior to the second extraction.
The products after the second
extraction are oil for refining or
industrial use depending on the
quality, husk for incineration
(fuel), pulp for fertilizer and
black water for depuration.
In the pomace from the extrac-
tion there is still a certain amount
of residual oil. In order to recover
this oil, the pomace is extracted

FLOTTWEG DECANTER / TRICANTER ®
for olive oil extraction
The essential part of the
FLOTTWEG DECANTER/
TRICANTER ® is the rotating part,
consisting of a cylindrical/con-
ical bowl with a conveyor scroll
inside which rotates at a differ-
ential speed. The rotating part
is driven by electric motors via
belt transmission.
Feed enters the bowl through a
central feed pipe. Through ports
in the scroll body, the feed pas-
ses into the bowl where separa-
tion by centrifugal force takes
place. In a DECANTER, the pro-
duct is separated into a liquid pha-
se (oil) and a solid phase (stone
debris, pulp and fruit water).
In a TRICANTER ® the product
is separated into a light liquid
phase (oil), a heavy liquid
phase (water), and a solid
phase (stone debris and pulp).
The discharge of the separated
oil is done by gravity in both ca-
ses, whereas in a TRICANTER ® ,
the separated water phase is
discharged by an impeller un-
der pressure or by gravity.
The separated solids are con-
veyed by the scroll to the con-
ical end of the bowl and are
discharged.

FLOTTWEG DISC STACK CENTRIFUGES
for optimum olive oil purification
Disc stack centrifuges with
a self cleaning bowl are used
for the separation of oil, water,
and solids. Via a fixed feed
pipe, the product to be sepa-
rated enters the inside of the
bowl which rotates at high
speed. The product flow is
divided into multiple thin layers
by the disc stack and a large
surface is created. From the
disc stack the separated liquids
flow to the upper part of the
bowl where oil is discharged
under pressure via impeller.
The separated water leaves the
bowl by gravity over a ring dam.
Due to high centrifugal force,
the separated solids are
packed tightly against the
bowl wall. Using a hydraulic
system in the bowl bottom the
separated solids are ejected at
full speed. The hydraulic sys-
tem of the FLOTTWEG AC-
centrifuge enables total and
partial bowl discharges.
The opening/closing procedure
is released by a pulse of oper-
ation water directly before the
discharge. Solenoid valves pro-
vide an exact proportioning of
the operation water.

For power transmission
there is a sturdy and low-
maintenance belt drive.
The drive-motor control via
frequency converter ensures
smooth acceleration up to
operational speed and genera-
tor braking.
All monitoring and control
functions of the centrifuge
are handled by a modern
PLC control unit.

The FLOTTWEG DISC STACK
CENTRIFUGES AC-series per-
form both partial and total bowl
discharge in any combination.
The operation is fully automated
via PLC. Using automatic
valves for feed and water, the
oil content in the bowl is dis-
placed by water prior to bowl
discharge. Operation via partial
discharge results in virtually
no oil loss. Using the total dis-
charge, the bowl stays clean
for an extended period of time.
Depending on olive quality and
operational circumstances,
the most suitable combination
can easily be programmed.
