Picking and Washing

The olives that are picked from the trees before falling on to the soil are stocked at the 6,000 m2 olive stocking area, which is purified from dust and dirt by being based on cobblestones over gravel and sand filling, to be processed during the same day. The olives are poured into a stainless steel plated conveying elevator pit and conveyed to stainless steel washing machines. Before the olives are poured into the washing machine, materials such as dust and dirt in them are absorbed with vacuumed air by the aspirator installed on the conveying belt. Then, the olives are washed with the pressured sprinkling water in the washing machine and sifted at the vibration screen. Furthermore, it is sifted at microstructure steel screen of the elevator and conveyed to the stainless steel collecting pit. Thus, the olives are protected against any foreign bodies and conveyed to the grinder in a hygienic environment. After all these processes the olives are conveyed to the elevator of the olive-grinding machine
