Green coffee cleaning and sorting systems

Optimize your coffee processing by integrating advanced cleaning and sorting systems designed to handle impurities, enhance raw coffee quality, and streamline production efficiency from the moment beans arrive until they’re ready for roast.

Cleans and Sorts Green Coffee Beans

The Green Coffee Cleaning and Sorting System from IMA Coffee Petroncini efficiently addresses the challenge of impurities in coffee production. This system utilizes a combination of basic cleaning sieves, densimetric tables, and dry destoners for thorough separation of foreign materials such as stones, metals, and dust. With a capacity of up to 20 tons per hour, it suits high-capacity coffee processing facilities. Integrating optical sorting technology, it enables precise sorting by shape and color, optimizing the quality of specialty green coffee blends and commercial batches. The system’s dust extraction ensures a clean working environment, while its customizable configuration allows adaptation to specific production schedules. Designed for continuous operation, it minimizes energy consumption and enhances operational efficiency.

Benefits
