In the PEGASO 1000 line (contracting), the washing group and the crusher group have been renewed; the kneader is made up of two modular bins of 800 l each, for a total of 1600 l. Unlike the standard configuration, it was created to work in a batches system; it is modular and expandable. It is also equipped with the innovative SFR/B knife crusher and its feeding system.
It operates in a two-phases system without water in addiction and it produces oil without the use of vertical centrifugal separators.
Pegaso 1000 decanter belong to the new TBD decanter series (Twin Bowl Decanter). Thanks to the design of this drum, the oil moisture proceeds along all the drum length; this increases the permanence of the olive paste inside the drum and permits to recover a big quantity of product of very high quality. The innovation concerns the clarification run of the product inside the drum: the oil moisture enters (at low speed) a second drum located in the center; all the mucilage and suspension bodies are eliminated by the running of the oil moisture through all the second drum length.
Hourly production is approx 800-1000 kgs of olives paste.
