Clean Fruit, Stable Processing, Higher Yield
The washing system is the first critical stage of the extraction line. Rapanelli’s washing and leaf removal units are designed to eliminate contaminants, stabilize downstream flow, and protect the mechanical elements of the mill.
Technical Features:
High-capacity stainless steel washing basin
Adjustable air-flow leaf removal channel
Accurate separation of stones and debris
Low-shear feed pumps to preserve fruit structure
Optional automatic water recirculation system
Easy-access design for rapid cleaning
Operational Benefits:
Reduced wear on crushers and malaxers
Consistent paste quality
Lower oxidation risk due to stable feeding
Higher overall extraction efficiency
More stable processing temperatures downstream
Fewer stoppages from debris or foreign materials
Clean fruit means predictable processing and higher oil quality.
