The diagram illustrates the process of manufacturing oil from avocadoes.
Overall, this is a complex linear process which is implemented mostly by specialized machine, including eight main stages.
The process of extracting avocado oil begins with collecting the avocadoes and delivering them to the factory. The next step is to examine the avocado to eliminate the bruise ones, which are going to be fertilized at orchards, this is done manually. Then, the qualified avocadoes are rinsed in a washer before being crushed to separate the pits, skins and flesh. The avocadoes’ pits and skins are discharged to fertilize the orchards meanwhile the flesh is going to be processed in a huge blender. After that, the flesh experiences stage 1 centrifuge that will categorize the solids and liquid, and this step is facilitated at maximum 45-50 degrees. Although the solids are going to be transported to the orchards to be fertilized, the remaining liquids go through the second centrifuge stage which separate the oil and water with the removal of waste water and oil will be kept. Once the oil has been filtered, it will be clarified before being bottle.
