OLIVE CRUSHER – FRANGITORE

The Crusher/Frangitore is made by Clemente Snc is constructed entirely of inox steel (stainless steel).


The crushing process takes place through twelve swinging hammers/flails, which work inside a cylindrical grill or screen with perforated holes of 6,7 or 8mm.

The hammers are positioned in a way that covers the working area of the grill/screen and gives the effect of a spiral movement so that the crushed olives are ejected from the crusher and fall into the malaxing unit below.  

 

This method of crushing reduces the ‘time of exposure’ to the olives to heat and oxidation of the olive pulp.  The crusher is fitted with an external scraper for efficient movement of the paste out of the crusher.
