Flexible, Cost-Effective Solutions for Particle Removal in Olive Oil Production
Why Particle Removal Matters
Particles derived from the production process can negatively impact the quality of olive oil, either during production and storage or after selling. Particles tend to settle at the bottom of the bottle over time, dissolve and can give the olive oil an unpleasant aftertaste and appearance.
Traditional Methods
Olive oil producers typically filter the oil immediately after centrifugation or store it in large stainless-steel tanks to allow particles to settle. However, even after pressing, small to medium-sized particles might still be present, which can cause filter clogging before bottling.
Challenges with Traditional Bag Filters
While bag filters are commonly used, they can easily get plugged by large particles. Increased differential pressure can also release soft particles downstream, negatively impacting production costs and the final product's quality.
Innovative Solutions with Pall Pre-Filtration
To tackle these challenges, using coarse depth filtration with cartridges like Claris® and Nexis® is effective. These filters are designed to deliver consistent, reliable filtration at the lowest possible cost.
Key Features of Claris & Nexis Filters
- Multiple Fiber Zones: Created by a proprietary melt-blowing process, resulting in a consistent and graded pore structure.
- Efficient Particle Capture: Different pore sizes allow for the efficient capture of various-sized particles.
- Innovative Core: An extruded core provides a low-cost alternative to molded cores without compromising strength or media depth.
- Cost-Efficiency: These features combine to offer a long life, fewer filter changeouts, and the most cost-efficient solution for particle reduction. Consider Stainless Steel Poromesh Filters
For preliminary coarse filtration, stainless steel Poromesh filters are a great option. They offer:
- Multiple Cleaning Cycles: Stainless steel material allows for multiple cleanings and regenerations over years.
- High Retention Capacity: Excellent resistance to aggressive environments.
- Cost-Effective: Easy to clean and maintain, with lower cleaning frequency options.
Pall Bag Filters
Pall bag filters are economical and perfect for batch filtration. They are easy to use, compact, and cost-effective due to the absence of a rigid structure. These filters offer efficient protection for more advanced filter units.
