The diagram demonstrates the procedure for manufacturing olive

oil

in a factory.

Overall

, it can be seen that there are seven distinct steps in olive

oil

production, starting from harvesting the unripe olive fruit and ending with the sale of the final product.

Firstly

, mature olives are gathered by workers from the olive trees and cleansed with cold water to remove all the dirt.

Next,

using a conveyor belt, the washed olives are placed into a specialized container, where the crushing process occurs.

After

this

step, the olives are separated into olive paste and seeds. These stones are no longer required and are discarded. In the fourth stage, the olive paste is packed into perforated bags and pressed under pressure.

Following

this

, it is moved to a separating machine that divides it into water and pure

oil

.

Finally

, the

oil

is stored in bottles for easy handling and packaged in boxes before being distributed to various markets for sale.
