Automatic system for continuous measurement of the flow of mixed paste into the decanter.

System that continuously measures the weight of the oil in the centrifugal separator. This value is entered in a computer to calculate the ratio of the weight of the oil to the weight of the crushed olives.

System for on-site production of nitrogen.

Organic compound that acts specifically by breaking down the structure of certain compounds in the plant membranes and cell tissues, so making it easier to extract the oil during solid–liquid separation.

External enzymatic organic compound that can be applied to speed up the breakdown of plant membranes and tissues during olive oil production.

Enzymatic organic compound that develops naturally in olives and which plays an active part in the changes in their vegetative development.

Period of ripening when olives change colour from green to violet.

Container that permits the passage of light.
