Malaxers
Discover high-tech malaxer systems manufactured from stainless steel by Polat Makina, engineered to provide controlled kneading at specific temperatures and durations for olive paste maturation and optimal oil release.
Applications
Olive Paste Kneading and Maturation
It is used at the stage where olives crushed into paste are kneaded under controlled conditions, allowing the oil within the cell structure to be released and coalesce.
Continuous Lines
It serves as a preparation unit prior to the decanter in olive oil extraction lines.
Boutique Olive Oil Production
Used in boutique facilities aiming for high-quality, batch-type olive oil production, for paste kneading with flexible configurations tailored to process requirements.
Pomace Oil Recovery Lines
Used during the intermediate paste kneading stage in pomace processing plants to prepare the pomace for decanter centrifuge processing (prior to 2-phase or 3-phase separation) and to increase mechanical oil separation efficiency.
Malaxer Systems by Numbers
24000 L
In modular and fully modular models, we provide body volumes ranging from 4*700 L (2,800 L) up to 10*1,000 L (10,000 L), while in pomace processing units, capacity extends from 4,000 L up to 24,000 L (8,000*3).
5,5 kw
We offer energy-efficient motor configurations ranging from 7.35 kW to 14 kW in modular series, and from 5.5 kW to 12.5 kW in fully modular series.
10 Compartment
We offer flexible configuration alternatives with 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10 compartments (cells) depending on facility size and production capacity.
Malaxers
Product Operating Principle
Following washing and cleaning, olives crushed into paste are transferred into the malaxer compartment. Inside the malaxer, the paste undergoes kneading at a specific temperature and duration. The primary objective of this controlled kneading (malaxation) process is to enable microscopic oil droplets within the olive cells to break free from the paste matrix and coalesce into a free oil phase. Once the olive paste reaches the desired consistency and thermal maturity, it is homogenously pumped to the next stage, the decanter centrifuge, for 2-phase or 3-phase separation.
Advantages of Malaxers
Why Polat Makina Malaxers?
Polat Makina malaxers are manufactured from high-durability stainless steel in full compliance with food regulations and CE standards. Engineered with over 40 years of industrial centrifuge and process expertise, these systems process olive paste to its ideal consistency, maximizing oil separation efficiency in the decanter. Thanks to their modular and fully modular design, they adapt quickly to capacity expansions while minimizing operational costs through low energy consumption and a compact footprint. Furthermore, featuring fully wear-protected body architecture, user-friendly operation, low labor and maintenance costs, they deliver 24/7 uninterrupted service assurance across 5 continents and 44 countries.
