BlogUnlock the Natural Oil Potential of Avocados Through a Controlled Process
Originating from Central Mexico, the avocado is the fruit of a tree belonging to the laurel family (Lauraceae). In addition to tropical climates, avocados can also be grown in subtropical and Mediterranean climate regions where severe frost events do not occur. Depending on the variety and growing conditions, ripe avocado fruit may contain approximately 10–25% oil.
Efficient avocado oil production requires proper cleaning of the fruit, controlled separation of the pit and peel from the flesh, preparation of a homogeneous paste, and precise separation of the oil from the solid and liquid phases.
The HAUS Avocado Oil Processing System provides a continuous production solution comprising compatible equipment for the process from feeding raw avocados into the production line through obtaining high-purity avocado oil.
HAUS Avocado Oil Production Process
In continuous-system avocado oil production lines, fruit is fed into the process from one end while cleaned and purified avocado oil is obtained through the subsequent processing stages.
The main equipment used in the HAUS avocado oil processing process includes:
- Avocado washing machine
- Avocado pit separator-crusher machine
- Malaxer
- Decanter centrifuge
- Separator (vertical centrifuge)
Key Benefits of the HAUS Avocado Oil Processing System
Continuous Production
Compatible process equipment creates a continuous production flow from raw material feeding through oil purification.
Controlled Raw Material Preparation
Washing, pit separation, and controlled size reduction stages that preserve fruit integrity prepare the avocado flesh appropriately for malaxation.
Homogeneous Avocado Paste
The rotor and screen system produces a homogeneous paste with the appropriate particle size, supporting efficient operation of the subsequent process stages.
Controlled Malaxation
Gently mixing the avocado paste at low speed and controlled temperature helps the oil droplets coalesce and be released.
Efficient Phase Separation
The decanter centrifuge separates the avocado paste into oil, liquid, and pomace phases, performing the primary separation stage of the continuous extraction process.
High-Purity Oil
The disc stack separator removes free water, fine solid particles, and sediment from the oil at the decanter outlet to obtain high-purity avocado oil.
Efficient Use of Resources
The water recovery system used in the washing machine contributes to reducing water consumption and associated operating costs.
