Home Olive Oil Presses - First PressTM hobbyist unit |
| Throw an
olive pressing party! The First PressTM
home olive oil press has everything you need to make olive oil except the
olives. The Mill has stainless steel hopper and grind components and can
process 5 gallons of olives in a few minutes. The paste is then mixed in
the malaxator, which has stainless steel mixing blades, for 30 to 60
minutes. The paste is then put on special patented filters and slotted
plates which allow up to 15 pounds of olives to be pressed every 30 minutes
for an ideal throughput of about 30 pounds of olives an hour.
Filters are reusable and should last several seasons.
The olive water and oil is caught in the decanter where it is
separated by gravity. Let your guests enjoy dipping some crusty hot French
bread in your own fresh extra virgin olive oil. Use the
decanter to fill your bottles with cold pressed, nutritious olive oil to
use or give away as gifts.

Calculating oil yield from the First PressTM :
Gallons x 3.7854 = liters
1 gallon of olive paste = 8.34 lbs.
1 pressing = 8 quarts = 2 gallons paste = 16 lbs of olives = 7.56 liters of
olive paste
| Yield of oil is 5 to 30 percent by volume depending on the oil content of the olives. We can't guarantee your yield because of the many variables involved, but if 10% is taken as an example, one pressing should yield about 750 ml of oil which should fill 3 of the 250 ml bottles. An efficient operator could do 2 pressings per hour. An 8 hour day could yield about 12 liters of oil, or 48 of the little bottles to give for gifts or for your own use. |
