Queen Creek Olive Mill Case Study

Advanced Mill for Decreasing Olive Oil Pressing Time

The Queen Creek Olive Mill is a family-owned company based in Queen Creek, Arizona. The company grows and presses olives for the production of high quality extra virgin olive oil with over 100 acres of over 7000 trees of 16 different olive varieties. It focuses on sustainable farming practices, from planting techniques to pressing methods, led by a dedication to the environment and consumer health.

Archer Separation installed the HAUS OliveMax 33 Mill (now known as OlivePlus 52) at Queen Creek to aid in speeding up the fruit pressing time. This mill presses up to 2.5 tons of olives per hour, and uses a cold-press method that begins by crushing the whole olives into a paste. The paste is then spun in a large mixer for about half an hour to allow the oil to separate from the solid matter. It then gets pumped into a centrifuge that spins the oil out of the paste. At this point, a small amount of organic matter will still be present, but it gets separated out when the oil is left to decant in large stainless steel containers.
