Il oliveCEPT® deploys a pre-treatment to olive paste in extra virgin olive oil production (EVOO) that improves both the quality of the product and increases extracted EVOO yield.

The integration of oliveCEPT® in the initial stage of the process, right after the crusher, offers several advantages when it comes to extraction yield and quality of the final product and we have proven reliable results in these aspects.

The recently launched BALDER is the most powerful machine yet with a capacity to treat 10 t/h.

A complete system of modular design, built with a stainless steel frame with product-wetted parts in hygienic design all with food-grade components.
