Within
the framework of the project "Capacity Building of Personnel in
Jordanian Olive Industry" that is funded by the European Union, olive mill and pickling lines were purchased.
The work on this activity started in April 2014 when preparations for
purchasing the needed olive equipment began by determining the specification
for the needed olive machinery and contacting the olive machinery manufacturers
to provide quotation for the needed equipments. Several quotations were received
and studied and inquiries from the companies were answered. A visit to the main olive machinery
manufacturers in Italy and Spain was made by Prof Alsaed Prof.. Favati and Eng. Albsoul. During
the visit, quotations were discussed and solid specifications were collected. A
Turkish company was selected to providing the two lines and they were received
and installed at the UJ, Amman campus. The olive mill and pickling lines were
successfully operated in December 2016.The entrances of the olive mill as well
as the pickling lines at the UJ that were established by this project are
labelled with the title of the project and the EU and UJ logos.
