OptiCept Technologies entered into an agreement with the Spanish olive oil producer Agropecuaria de Herrera SCA. The agreement pertains to the newly developed OptiCEPT® LO7, an application tailored for olive oil production with a capacity of 10 tonnes / h.
During the 2021 – 2022 olive oil season, Herrera evaluated OptiCEPT® in a small olive oil extraction line and now chooses to proceed with an installation in its main extraction line.
.
The goal is to increase the line’s capacity but also create an improved extraction efficiency with improved quality.
Agropecuaria de Herrera SCA is part of the award-winning cooperative Oleoestepa, which is one of Spain’s largest cooperatives in olive oil with more than 6,500 farmers connected and 60,000 hectares of olive groves. Agropecuaria de Herrera SCA is one of 19 affiliated olive oil producers in the cooperative.
Spain is the world’s largest producer of olive oil, producing about 44% of all world production. Culture, climate, and generations of expertise are just some of the leading reasons for this success.
More and more olive oil producers are discovering and implementing the unique PEF system. For example, Acesur who achieved remarkable results, as well as Canoliva who achieved equally impressive results.
The OptiCEPT® 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 OptiCEPT® 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.
