Green coffee cleaning and sorting systems
In the coffee industry, rising costs for pre-cleaned beans and increasing impurities in green coffee call for in-house treatment solutions. Efficient separation of foreign bodies is needed to maintain the quality of coffee beans.
Efficient removal of impurities in green coffee
The green coffee cleaning and sorting systems by IMA Coffee Petroncini are customized plant solutions designed to handle up to 20 tons of green coffee per hour. These systems ensure efficient separation of impurities such as stones, metals, and other foreign materials. The basic cleaning sieve with a magnetic surface removes iron-based impurities, while the densimetric table separates objects with different densities. Additionally, the dry destoner targets heavier foreign bodies like stones and pieces of metal. The integrated dust extraction system and optical sorting machines further refine the process by sorting beans by shape and color. This setup ensures a cleaner, higher-value coffee product, streamlining downstream processing stages significantly.
