Olive analyzer OliveScan™ 2

for pomacemoistureoil content

Overview
OliveScan™ 2 is a near-infrared (NIR) analyser designed for rapid, non-destructive measurement of oil content and moisture in whole olives, olive paste and olive pomace. It delivers objective, representative results without time‑consuming sample preparation, aiding payment decisions and process control in olive oil production.

Key benefits

• Fast testing without sample preparation — place whole olives in a specially designed high-sided sample cup for immediate measurement.
• Immediate oil content and moisture results to support payment settlements and production decisions.
• Representative sampling using NIR transmission with multiple subsamples across the sample area to reduce sampling bias.
• Versatile measurement modes for whole olives, olive paste and pomace to optimise pressing efficiency and resource use.

Typical applications

• Payment and incoming quality control of whole olives at the mill or receiving station.
• Control of olive paste and pomace during oil extraction (e.g., monitor oil depletion after pressing).
• Rapid process control to improve yield, reduce waste and increase production efficiency.

Operation and performance
Results for oil content and moisture are delivered within seconds by placing the sample in the appropriate cup. NIR transmission penetrates into the fruit and multiple subsamples (up to 18 with the large cup) cover the sample area to ensure representative measurements. Subsamples affected by pinholes or gaps are automatically disregarded to maintain data quality.

Software and services
Instrument operation is performed with ISIScan Nova software. FOSS digital solutions (FOSS IQX™) and service agreements (SmartCare™) are available to secure uptime, ensure compliance and maintain analytical accuracy.
