Prepare your avocado paste for maximum yield and quality; reliable, energy-efficient crushing systems designed for smooth extraction performance.
In avocado oil production, the crushing stage determines the foundation for oil recovery and quality. If the fruit is not properly crushed, you risk:
- Low oil yield and incomplete extraction.
- Excessive heat generation, causing oxidation and flavour loss.
- Uneven particle size, leading to poor malaxing efficiency.
- Paste emulsions that complicate downstream separation.
Traditional crushing systems can overheat, leave large fragments, or cause high maintenance costs. Processors need a robust, gentle crushing solution that delivers uniform paste and protects oil quality.
Our Solution:
- 4B Automation & 4B Systems supplies and integrates crusher and disc-crusher systems developed by Alfa Laval, purpose-built for avocado oil extraction.
- These units are engineered to produce a uniform, fine paste from fruit pulp, skins, and residual seed fragments while minimising heat buildup and oxidation.
- By combining Alfa Laval’s proven crushing technology, used across global olive and avocado oil installations, with 4B Automation & 4B Systems’ local engineering and automation expertise, we ensure consistent paste preparation that enhances yield, flavour, and downstream efficiency.
Key Features / Capabilities
Avocado-Specific Design:
Built for whole or halved avocados, ensuring even paste formation without damaging the pulp.
Disc Crusher Configuration:
Two toothed discs; one fixed, one rotating; gently tear the fruit for consistent texture and low oxidation.
Adjustable Particle Size:
Fine-tune disc spacing to control paste consistency and optimise malaxing and separation.
Low Heat Generation:
Reduces risk of oxidation and preserves the natural aroma, nutrients, and green colour of the oil.
Robust & Hygienic Construction:
Stainless-steel build for durability, easy cleaning, and compliance with food safety standards.
Compact & Integration-Ready:
Connects seamlessly to washing, malaxing, and decanter systems.
Scalable for Any Operation:
Suitable for boutique cold-press setups or large continuous extraction lines.
Ease of Maintenance:
Simple access for inspection and cleaning, ensuring long service life.
Local Support:
Installed and supported by 4B Automation & 4B Systems, backed by Alfa Laval’s global network.
