Unlock maximum yield and preserve natural quality; high-efficiency decanter centrifuges built for avocado oil extraction.
In avocado oil production, efficient separation is essential to achieve high yield and premium oil quality. The paste leaving the malaxer contains oil, water, and solids that must be carefully separated without excess heat, oxidation, or product stress. Outdated centrifuges or unsuitable systems can cause:
- High oil loss in solids and effluent streams.
- Unstable throughput and reduced yield.
- Excessive oxidation or flavour degradation.
- Increased maintenance and operational costs.
Producers require robust, energy-efficient decanter systems designed for avocado paste characteristics; combining gentle separation with consistent uptime and easy maintenance.
Our Solution:
- 4B Automation & 4B Systems delivers and integrates advanced decanter centrifuge systems specifically tailored for avocado oil extraction.
- Using Alfa Laval’s Foodec Sigma series, these decanters are engineered for high-efficiency, low-shear separation; achieving maximum oil recovery while preserving natural colour, flavour, and nutrients.
- Each decanter is optimised for the unique properties of avocado paste, handling high moisture, fibrous pulp, and variable feed conditions with stable performance.
- Through our local support, 4B Automation & 4B Systems ensures your decanter operates reliably, efficiently, and seamlessly within your oil extraction line.
