Step 4 - The Oil Emerges
 The
mixed olive mash is then passed from the malaxer into the. Here
it will be spun through a series of cylindrical grates. Oil
and water will be spun
out of the mash which will be spun a few more times before
it leaves the system.
 This
is a three phase centrifuge,
olive mash enters the system and oil, water, and mash exit it separately.
Both the oil and water will pass through the vertical separator
which will further separate the two from each other.
 The
oil leaving the vertical separator is free of water and all but
the smallest particles left from the mash.
