Automated olive press for household use

Abstract

Many households and hoppy farmers have limited number of olive trees and reap yearly only small amounts of olives. such amounts are usually too small to be sent to the public press and at the same time for many farmers too large to be cured, and they are very interested to use these olives to extract even small amount of the relatively expensive oil. In this project a down-scaled olive press was designed and build, which is in its weight, dimension, and costs suitable for household utilization. A further importance of this press is that and despite of modern control systems, the traditional method of olive oil pressing will be used which guarantees a high quality olive oil.
