BSTM’s modular crusher with pit separator enables pitted paste processing—enhancing polyphenol content, aroma, and the sensory profile of your olive oil.
Application:
The crusher with pit separator breaks down olive flesh while ejecting the pits, either partially or fully, depending on sieve configuration.
This enables pitted paste production, which leads to higher aroma, better antioxidant profiles, and improved flavor in the final olive oil.
Benefits:
- Adjustable pit separation level- Higher polyphenol and aroma yield- Ideal for early harvest or delicate varieties- Stainless steel body- Easy to clean and maintain- Compatible with modular processing lines
Design:
The unit combines a mechanical crusher and a pit separation system on a single chassis.
The crushed pulp is pushed through a screen that retains pits while allowing pulp to flow through.
Different sieve sizes and crushing heads (knife, hammer, pin) can be used depending on olive variety and processing goals.
Working Principle:
Olives enter the unit via a feeding screw. The rotating crushing system breaks the olives while the integrated separator removes the pits.
This allows better control over paste consistency and phenolic extraction, making it ideal for premium extra virgin olive oil production.
