Three Phase Decanter Centrifuge for Avocado Oil Extraction

Three Phase Decanter Centrifuge for Avocado Oil Extraction is designed for continuous separation of avocado oil, water phase, and avocado pulp solids in avocado oil processing lines.

After crushing, malaxing, or enzymatic conditioning, avocado paste usually contains oil, water, pulp, fibers, skin particles, fine solids, and emulsified liquid.

A three phase decanter centrifuge separates these mixed phases continuously, helping recover avocado oil while discharging water and solid residue.

This centrifuge is suitable for avocado oil production and fruit oil processing lines, including:

• Avocado oil extraction
• Avocado paste separation
• Cold-pressed avocado oil processing
• Wet-process avocado oil recovery
• Avocado pulp oil-water-solid separation
• Oil recovery after malaxing or conditioning
• Primary separation before oil polishing
• Fine pulp and fiber removal from avocado oil stream
• Continuous avocado oil production lines

A three phase decanter centrifuge separates avocado paste into three main phases.

The actual separation result depends on avocado variety, fruit maturity, paste condition, oil content, water content, fiber content, temperature, and upstream preparation.

Avocado paste enters the rotating bowl through the feed pipe.

Under centrifugal force, the different phases separate according to density difference:

• Heavier avocado pulp, fibers, skin particles, and fine solids move outward and form a solid layer on the bowl wall.
• The water phase forms the heavier liquid layer.
• The avocado oil phase stays closer to the center as the lighter liquid phase.

The screw conveyor rotates at a controlled differential speed and continuously pushes separated pulp solids toward the discharge end.

At the same time, the oil phase and water phase are separated internally and collected according to the process design.

Under suitable feed and operating conditions, the system can typically help achieve:

• 70–90% avocado oil recovery
• 50–80% reduction of suspended pulp solids before downstream polishing.
• 30–60% reduction in water content in the recovered oil phase
• 30–60% reduction in wet pulp residue volume
• More stable oil quality before filtration, disc separation, storage, or refining.
• 8–24 hours/day continuous operation

Final performance depends on avocado variety, fruit maturity, oil content, water content, fiber content, temperature, viscosity, emulsification level, and operating parameters.

To recommend a suitable three phase decanter centrifuge for avocado oil extraction, please provide:

• Processing capacity, in kg/h, tons/day, or m³/h
• Feed material: avocado paste, pulp slurry, or process stream
• Avocado variety, if available
• Fruit maturity condition
• Oil content
• Water content
• Solids / fiber content
• Feed temperature
• Paste viscosity or fluidity
• Particle size after crushing
• Malaxing time and temperature
• Whether enzymes or water are added
• Target oil recovery rate
• Target oil clarity after decanter
• Target water content in oil phase
• Target dryness of pulp residue
• Whether downstream disc separator or filter is used
• Required operating hours per day
• Cleaning and hygiene requirements
• Site voltage and control preference
• Need for skid-mounted system or not
