The new Genesis kneading system introduces relevant innovations in the production process, focusing on quality and flexibility.
the main innovations in the Genesis kneading group
Modularity: The GENESIS system is modular. Depending on the customer's needs, it can be composed of a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 6 bins, with a capacity of approximately 500 or 700 kg. This modularity allows a great flexibility in managing different quantities of olives and separate batches processing.
Temperature Control: Each bin is equipped with a cofferdam for the circulation of heating water. The water temperature is directly regulated by the control panel, and a different malaxation temperature can be set for each bin. The specific temperature control is crucial in optimizing the malaxation process with respect to the olives features and in preserving the olive oil quality.
Mixing efficiency: The vats have a circular internal surface and are equipped with a special shovel for the mixing of the paste. This special shape makes the vats efficient both in the processing of small and large batches. The new design of the rotating axis increases efficiency in both the filling and the emptying phases of the vat. The mixing system and the shape of the vat are similar to in-line (non-vertical) systems, but with a greater efficiency.
Integrated Washing System: Each vat is equipped with a rotating washing system; thanks to the circular internal surface, it ensures a perfect cleaning. This feature is essential to maintain high hygiene standards and to prevent cross-contamination between different batches.
Additional features: The vats are equipped with a level probe and an inspection cover with glass with integrated LED.
Integration with SFR/A crusher The GENESIS malaxation system is often integrated with the new SFR/A thermo-conditioning knife crusher. In this configuration, the crushing chamber of the SFR/A crusher can also behave as a "pre-malaxer"; the conditioning of the paste starts before the passage in the GENESIS system; this increases the overall efficiency of the system. The crushed paste is moved to the GENESIS unit through a single transfer pump.
Advanced Control (Optional): The system can be equipped with the new VM 4.0 electrical control panels; this makes the system eligible for tax credits.
In summary, the GENESIS kneading system offers crucial innovations through its modularity, its accurate temperature control, its efficient mixing and washing system, and its possibility of integration with an advanced crusher like the SFR/A. These features optimize the kneading phase, improving the quality of the olive oil extracted and offering greater operational flexibility.
