Customer Background

This olive oil bottling enterprise is located in the Andalusia region of Spain. It mainly produces high-end extra virgin olive oil and its products are sold in the European Union and North American markets. To ensure that the oil is clear and transparent after bottling, the customer has long set up a filtration process before bottling.

Facing challenges

The original filtration equipment adopted a single-bag structure, which had insufficient processing capacity and frequent replacement of filter bags affected the filling speed.

The working temperature of the olive oil is controlled at 40-45℃. Some sealing parts have leaked due to their poor heat resistance.

The customer desires to increase the filtration accuracy to 10 micrometers, in order to more effectively remove tiny fruit residues and other suspended substances, while retaining the flavor components of the olive oil.

The material of the equipment should meet food-grade standards and be easy to clean and maintain.

Solution

After verification of the information, we recommend the use of the JYMF-4P-304 four-bag filter, with the configuration as follows:

Material: SS304, sandblasted finish, meets food contact requirements

Filter basket quantity: 4, in parallel design, with high processing capacity and reduced frequency of bag replacement

Sealing element: Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), with a temperature range that fully covers the 40-45℃ operating conditions.

Filtering accuracy: 10 microns. Using 2# PP filter bags (with steel rings at the mouth), and purchasing 10 spare filter bags at the same time.

Interface: DN80 flange, side inlet and bottom outlet, design pressure 1.0 MPa

Usage Effect

After the equipment has been running continuously for three months, the customer reported:

After filtration, the turbidity of the olive oil is stabilized and controlled within the range required by the customers. There are no complaints about impurities on the filling line.

The four-bag parallel structure extends the single-time filter bag replacement interval to three times the original length, significantly reducing the labor maintenance costs.

The EPDM seals have no leakage, the equipment surface is free from rust, and cleaning is very convenient.

The production efficiency has been improved, and the waiting time for filtration on the filling line has been reduced by approximately 30%.

Customer review

"The JYMF-4P-304 model fully meets our filtration requirements for olive oil under the 40-45℃ conditions. The equipment is well-built, easy to operate, and highly recommended for sharing with colleagues."
