FRANTUMATORE G.R. INOX – Olive Crushing Machine
The FRANTUMATORE G.R. INOX is Rapanelli’s olive crushing machine designed to prepare olive paste by breaking the fruit and pits while preserving control over granulometry and paste characteristics. It is a critical upstream component that directly influences extraction yield, oil profile, and downstream process stability.
Function within the extraction process
Crushing is the first decisive mechanical step in olive oil extraction. The FRANTUMATORE breaks the olives, freeing oil-bearing cells and preparing the paste for malaxation. The way olives are crushed affects: ● Paste consistency ●Oil release efficiency ●Emulsion behavior ● Final sensory profile of the oil
Available Models
Models
- G.R. 15/20 INOX
- G.R. 30/40 INOX
Both models are built in stainless steel and designed for integration into continuous olive oil extraction plants.
How to choose the right model (practical sizing logic)
A decanter should be selected based on plant reality, not just peak hourly throughput claims. A correct sizing process typically considers:
Olive variety mix and maturity profile across the season
Expected paste consistency and temperature operating window
Desired operating strategy: stable quality vs maximum surge capacity
Downstream constraints (separator, filtration, storage) and upstream feeding stability
Space constraints, service access, and maintenance workflow
Send your target throughput, plant layout, and current bottlenecks. We will recommend the correct model and configuration.
Integration and project delivery
A decanter is not a standalone purchase. It is a system node.
We support:
Layout planning and installation footprint validation
Commissioning alignment with your operating strategy
Spares and service planning for harvest continuity
Seamless integration of Sinolea® drip extraction when required
FAQ
Are these decanters available in multiple configurations?
Yes. The range includes multiple models and variants (including ARP versions) so the selection can match your operating needs and footprint.
What technical data do you need to recommend a model?
Your target throughput range, paste characteristics, available floor space, upstream feeding stability, downstream separation setup, and service constraints.
Can you help us validate layout constraints before purchase?
Yes. Use the dimension tables above as a starting point, then we confirm installation clearances and service access during sizing.
