The coffee industry is constantly growing and competitively producing new flavours of coffee and coffee derived products. These trends present producers with many process challenges such as quality, finish and of course taste.
A leading multinational chain of coffee houses and roastery reserves approached Schenck Process to discuss problems they were facing when conveying their green and roasted coffee beans to a new roaster. The existing roasting room was heavily congested and needed to be ‘up-graded’ to meet growing coffee demands seen in both the UK and Europe.
The client outlined special requirements for the storage of green beans, as well as for the conveying of roasted coffee. The entire system involving Schenck Process
E-finity & EDIP pneumatic conveying technologies would need to ensure limited product breakage and reduced power consumption to enable the client to meet its sustainability goals.
Schenck Process’ in depth knowledge of the client meant that they could utilise experience and technical know-how gained from previous contracts to assure them that they were ideally placed to improve and optimize both their existing and new processes quickly, using 3D scanning & modelling tools.
