Green coffee preheating system
Optimize your coffee roasting process by utilizing waste heat for preheating, reducing energy consumption and enhancing flavor development through uniform heat distribution.
Preheats and Mixes Green Coffee Beans Efficiently
The RKV Green Coffee Preheating System by PROBAT is a sophisticated energy-saving solution designed for industrial coffee roasters. This system creatively repurposes waste heat from exhaust air to preheat green coffee beans, significantly reducing energy demands and cycle times. It ensures uniform heat distribution through mechanical mixing, achieving consistent roasting patterns. Suitable for various applications, from specialty roasted coffee to instant coffee granules, it optimizes the roasting process by minimizing the time between preheating and aroma development. Operating in continuous, automated modes, it integrates seamlessly into large-scale coffee production lines. The system promises up to a 20% increase in energy efficiency, catering to the needs of environmentally-conscious coffee processing facilities striving for lower energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
