the benefits of olive oil
Health & Nutrition
Antioxidant: It contains vitamin E and polyphenolic substances, which could remove free radicals and delay senescence. Extra virgin olive oil is suitable for cold dishes.
Pharmaceuticals & Medicinal Applications
Protect the cardiovascular system: The proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids is high, could adjust blood fat and reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. It is recommended to consume 20-30 grams per day.
Cosmetics & Personal Care
Promote digestion: Stimulate bile secretion, improve the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Taking a small amount on an empty stomach can alleviate constipation.
Culinary Uses
Skin care and beauty: Contains squalene and vitamin E. When used externally, it can improve dry skin. However, those with oily skin should use it with caution.
process of olive oil mill
STEP 1. Cleaning
Olive is sent to the cleaning tank to clean soil, dust, and impurities. The clean olives are transported through a conveyor belt to the next processing stage.
STEP 2. Crushing
Olive undergoes a hammer crusher or a knife crusher to be ground into a fine paste. Evenly crushing could increase surface area and have a higher extraction efficiency.
STEP 3. Stirring
The olive paste was sent into the blender. It is stirred by slow stirring at a control temperature of 25-30℃ for 30 to 60 minutes. Stirring can cause small oil droplets to merge into larger ones, making it convenient to separate.
STEP 4. Centrifugal separation
The olive paste flowed into the horizontal settler. The fruit pulp and the oil-water mixture were separated.
STEP 5. Oil water separation
The oil-water mixture is sent to a vertical split-type centrifuge. The remaining water and fine particles were all removed. This is virgin oil.
STEP 6. Refining and filtration
If a second refining process is needed, the clear oil obtained is refined olive oil. Finally, after further purification and filtration, the taste and color are improved.
The cost of olive oil mill
| Capacity | Cost |

| Mini olive oil mil (0–2 TPD) | $10,000 – $35,000 |
| Medium-size plant (2–20 TPD) | $50,000 – $180,000 |
| Industrial olive oil mill (20–100+ TPD) | $200,000 – $600,000+ |
Advantages of oilve oil mill
Wide Adaptability to Olive Varieties
Our olive oil mill adopts advanced frequency conversion drive technology, which can adjust pressing speed, stirring intensity, centrifuge torque, and flow control to ensure getting high-oil-content oil products from high-oil-content varieties, high-humidity varieties, hard wild olives, and various other olive varieties.
Higher Oil Yield
From olive pre-treatment to the final separating process, every step has been well-designed to enhance the extraction efficiency. This ensures continuous getting the highest oil yield, thereby improving the profit lever of the manufacturer. Compared with traditional equipment, oil yield improved 3-8%, and it is especially suitable for fresh fruits with high water content.
Fully Stainless Steel
All our olive oil mill equipment uses stainless steel SS304. It can resist corrosion and is suitable for olive-based acidic substances. Our machine also upgrades welding technology, reducing hidden sanitary areas. It will be more hygienic, have a longer service life, and reduce maintenance costs.

Why establish an olive oil factory
Reason 1
The demand for olive oil is increasing in the global food, healthy, and food service industry.
Reason 2
Olive oil is a high-end vegetable oil; the market price is higher than that of common edible oils. As long as the raw material supply is stable, the olive oil factory can generate a continuous cash flow, and the payback period will be relatively short.
Reason 3
Olive oil plant not only sells olive oil, but also sells cosmetic-grade oil, cold-pressed high-end premium packaging, and by-products such as Olive pomace, which can be used to refine second oil. Olive pits could be used in biological fuel pellets. Olive wastewater could be used in composting and bioremediation systems.
Reason 4
Compared with other oilseed oil mills, its occupation is small, the equipment configuration is flexible, the investment can range from small-scale to large-scale, and the technical process is mature and easy to operate. So it is suitable for gradually upgrading from a small oil processing plant with a capacity of several hundred kilograms per hour.
