Industrial equipment compliant with food safety regulations (HACCP, CE, ISO 22000), designed to preserve the organoleptic properties of the oil and prevent cross-contamination.
EKINSA systems completely eliminate residues of oil, emulsions, impurities, or accumulated dirt in drums, IBCs, tanks, and deposits, even after prolonged use.
They ensure a verifiable level of cleanliness in environments with hygienic traceability (HACCP, ISO 22000).
The hydraulic design and the materials used prevent cross-contamination between batches, varieties of oil, or flavored oils.
It preserves the organoleptic profile of the product intact: acidity, aroma, and color remain unaltered.
Thanks to pressure and geometry-optimized systems, the use of hot water and detergents is reduced by up to 40% compared to manual or nonspecific methods.
Shorter cycles = accumulated daily savings = quick return on investment.
The heads, seals, and surfaces are designed to operate in contact with stainless steel AISI 304/316, food-grade plastic tanks (PEHD), or treated metal surfaces.
High resistance to vegetable fats, steam, and thermal changes.
Perfect integration into industrial or ecological oil mill technical lines. It can be placed in pre-filtering stations, loading, or cleaning modules for returnable containers.
A valid solution for fixed or mobile installations depending on the campaign.
EKINSA cleaning solutions are present in cooperative oil mills, industrial bottlers, organic oil plants, and collection centers, adapting to key hygiene processes without compromising product quality.
Widely used in cooperatives that reuse campaign containers season after season or rotate containers between qualities (AOVE, lampante, organic).
Improves the stability of the final product and prevents cross-contamination in continuous processes.
Ideal for manufacturers producing AOVE with basil, rosemary, chili, or other flavored oils.
Maximum flexibility: the same level of cleaning, regardless of your infrastructure.
Trust in a food environment is earned with consistent results. This is how our equipment is valued by those who use it every day in their cleaning and packaging processes.
Manual methods or generic solutions are not designed for oil: they leave residues, require a lot of time, and generate contamination risks that directly affect the quality of the product.

Since 1981, in EKINSA we manufacture industrial cleaning solutions for cooperatives, oil mills, and bottlers in Spain and Europe. We understand the processes, campaign volumes, and regulatory requirements of the sector.
Over 40 years of experience serving the Spanish and European olive oil sector.
EKINSA equipment cleans reusable drums, IBCs (GRGs), tanks, vats, hoppers, bins and crates used in olive mills and bottling plants. It is designed to operate on AISI 304/316 stainless steel and food-grade HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) containers, completely removing oil residues, emulsions and impurities, even after prolonged use.
Yes. The hydraulic design and construction materials prevent the transfer of odours, flavours and residues between batches, olive oil varieties or flavoured oils. This preserves the product’s organoleptic profile, ensuring that its acidity, aroma and colour remain unchanged.
Yes. EKINSA systems comply with food safety regulations (HACCP, CE and ISO 22000) and provide a cleaning process that can be validated in hygienically traceable environments. This makes it possible to document and audit the hygiene of every container as part of the olive mill’s HACCP plan.
Thanks to pressure-optimised hydraulic systems and advanced cleaning geometry, the equipment reduces hot water and detergent consumption by up to 40% compared to manual or non-specialised cleaning methods. Shorter cleaning cycles also result in significant daily savings and a rapid return on investment.
Yes. The equipment can be integrated into the technical lines of industrial or organic olive oil production facilities. It can be installed before filtration, at the filling stage or within reusable container cleaning modules. Both fixed and mobile installations are available to suit the requirements of each production campaign.
With more than 40 years of experience, EKINSA has been manufacturing industrial cleaning equipment for the olive oil sector, supplying olive mills and bottling plants. The company’s solutions are backed by technical certifications and guarantees, while every machine is custom-designed to meet the specific requirements of each production process.
