Silos
Green Coffe Silos
Reception cleaning and ensilage for green coffee
Green coffee silos are storage containers designed to store and protect raw coffee beans before processing. Therefore, they are essential to ensure the freshness and quality of coffee, and their use is common in the coffee industry worldwide. These represent the first phase of the installation. These silos have the following characteristics:
- Delivery of green coffee in bulk, big bag and standard bag formats.
- Pneumatic and mechanical conveyors
- Cube-shaped or octagonal silos
- 4–500 tonne capacity
- High-capacity volumetric and densimetric cleaning system
- Feed to roasting section by origin or blend
- PLC control panel and SIEMENS/AB colour touch screen
Roasted Coffee Silos
Silage systems for roasted coffee
Roasting silos are containers designed to store and preserve freshly roasted coffee. They also ensure that the coffee retains its aroma and flavour, as well as protecting it from moisture, light and oxidation. Consequently, they also help to maintain the hygiene and quality of the coffee by preventing contamination by dust and other pollutants. These have the following characteristics:
- Delivery of roasted coffee from roaster reception
- Coffee cleaned by negative pressure
- Cube-shaped or octagonal silos
- Degassing roasted coffee for natural or torrefacto coffee
- Mixing system to blend origins
- Feed to grinding or packaging section.
- PLC control panel and SIEMENS/AB colour touch screen
Ground coffee silos
Reception, ensilage and degassing of ground coffee
Ground coffee silos are airtight, dust-proof containers designed to store and preserve ground coffee safely and efficiently. In addition, its main function is to keep the coffee fresh and protect it from light, air and humidity, the three factors that contribute to the loss of aroma and flavour of coffee. These silos have the following characteristics:
- Coffee delivered from ground coffee section
- Pneumatic or mechanical feed to silos
- Natural and homogeneous coffee degassing, without forced movement inside the silo (first in, first out)
- Cube-shaped silos to homogenise coffee density
- Feed to packaging section by pneumatic or mechanical conveyors
- PLC control panel and SIEMENS/AB colour touch screen
