Re Oliomio 100. I have had one for two years and, by and large, it has served
it's purpose well. The oil I extracted this year (from Verdale and Mission)
came in at 0.3% acidity and about 15% oil volume by weight.

For 1260 trees, assuming 35kg/tree at maturity, the machine and you will be
sorely tested. Pressing 44 tonnes of olives at a nominal rate of 85kg/hr will
take >500 hours. Couple that with the other pressing you may do then I think you
will be pulling your hair out.

The ommph and sizzle of the traditional press will leave you even more tired
albeit it will look the part. Mind you, you could always employ those extra
virgins to assist but this may wear you out even more.

Pieralisi will be releasing, for next year, a model that has a capability of
200kg/hr which can be upgraded as the industry develops. Alternatively, their
current model capable of 400 kg/hr would also suffice. Cost of the former are
unknown as yet but will be around $A90K. The 400 is around $A180K. For this
you get all the trapping including the very best of washers, centrifuge,
decanters and kneaders.

If anyone wants to buy a (slightly used) Olioio 100 with washer at well below
current prices please contact me.
