This paper analyses closely at two key aspects in the operation of the olive oil presses most used in traditional olive oil mills such as the tower press and the quintal beam press. These aspects are the stress distribution of the mechanical assembly of each press and later, the distribution of stresses and displacements on the straining mats, fact...

... to position them at the given point in the cycle to be studied. Fig. 3 shows the two most important positions in the operating cycle. On the left is the time where the tower is raised and locked, in order to place the straining mats in position. On the right is the end of the pressing operation with the tower resting on the supporting walls. Fig. 4 shows the quintal beam press in the position where the straining mats are placed (left), and at the start of the pressing stage ...

Biometrics are widely considered in table olive and olive oil production. Fruit size, flesh content and flesh/pit ratio are among the most important parameters in table olive processing, whereas oil and water content are among the most important parameters in olive oil production. In this work, twelve parameters from drupes of 12 cultivars in three...
The objective of the present work is the evaluation of the nutritional and organoleptic properties of olive oils from oil mills in the rural commune of Tagzirt, area of Beni Mellal (center of Morocco) by a physicochemical characterization of their compositions. Fifteen samples of olive oils extracted from the Moroccan Picholine variety were collect...
