EARLY INDUSTRIAL PERIOD (Steam and Diesel Engines)

This hall exhibits, the mechanical systems through the transformation of steam to mechanical-power, thus the rotating mechanism works.

Between 17th and 19th centuries with the invention and the improvement of steam-engine a new era has started.

The principal of the system; The water turns to steam in a boiler and expands greatly in volume, and can be used to generate mechanical-power (usually via piston sor tribunes).

The steam is then usually cooled to condense it, and it is pumped back into the boiler. So with the action to back and forth (locomotion) the power turns to mechanical-work.

The power impulses acquired  are transmitted  by the help of belt pulley to the mechanism. With the same power impulse, the bottom-rotated mill start to work and crushes the olive,thus the olive turns into pomace. The pomace filled in special sacks  are placed on the platform of the press’  working with the power of hydraulic pumps.

The water-hydraulic pumps (called ‘pomparya’) again using the same mechanical-power (transmitted), start to (up and down) move, so the olive is squeezed.

The extracted olive oil is transferred into the special tanks/pools (called ‘polim’).The oil reserved in those combined-vessels formatted tanks, is seperated from its vegetable water.

The seperated oil transferred via some ladle shaped instruments and filled into tanks to reserve an transport.

Apart from steam-engine the equal mechanical-power is produced by ‘diesel-motors’  that we can call the generators of today.

In time, the mechanical-power of diesel-motors is turned into the electrical-power via ‘alternator’, a field  winding mechanism, thus shed light on the use of elecrical-energy.

ELECTRIC POWER PERIOD

In this era, the principle of the system and mechanism of olive oil extraction is similar to the early industrial era. The only difference is that the electric power is used instead of mechanical-power in oil extraction.

The next improvement is about the mills.In this era, top-rotated mills are used instead of the bottom-ratated mills. But the working system is the same; like the use of press’s and hydraulic pumps, speration tanks etc.
