Iberia round malaxers
Round overflow malaxers provide continuous heating of olive paste, releasing the oil so that it starts to form larger droplets that are then separated out in a vertical decanter centrifuge.
Key equipment for crucial processes
Malaxing is a very important phase in olive oil extraction because it has a big influence on the final quality and quantity of the product obtained.
Alfa Laval RM malaxers are normally used in high-volume, industrial olive oil extraction lines in which robustness and continuous operation are also crucial.
Cylindrical advantage
The RM malaxer design is a continuous, overflow malaxer characterized by the innovative cylindrical shape of the vessel holding the olive paste. This shape makes the malaxing process more efficient by eliminating dead spaces, and provides a 25% increase in the heat transfer surface compared with traditional “U”-shaped malaxers.
The round shape of the robust RM6000 and RM9000 overflow malaxers results in quicker heating of the paste as well as effective mixing of the olive oil, and the special design of the heating jacket provides very high heat transfer efficiency.
