• The designs of the process plants are carried out in our Engineering department. Therefore, all projects are customized and adapted to meet both current and future process line needs. Plant designs are based on the extensive experience of existing projects, and these are adapted to the requirements of the new project.
  • The packaging section is the most dynamic part to consider in the design of a process plant. To this end, we are in permanent contact with both the Customer and the supplier of the packaging equipment, in order to adapt the design of the process line to the needs of the packaging machinery, and any needs in the future, such as the installation of new packaging equipment, format changes or increased packaging capacities. The location of the packaging equipment conditions the design of the project, having to adapt the transport and storage equipment if the packaging machines are located near or far from the process equipment.
  • The roasting process is also different in each case, not only in relation to light and dark roasts, but also when roasting with additives, different product sizes and different mixtures. New advances in the studies of roasting processes allow us to adapt our roasters in order to achieve the desired results.
  • Plant designs, silo capacities are a very dynamic part. With the new silo designs, the change of capacities and the change of the number of departments is easy to carry out, being able to be updated in a short space of time. The design of the silos allows these changes to be made quickly easily and economically.
  • In each geographical area there are new specific regulations that need to be observed, not only in terms of process quality and product quality, but also those related to employee safety. Each project respects the existing regulations, and the most demanding ones are applied in all cases.
  • Processes increasingly need to be faster and more efficient. To do this, the experience that is acquired over the years, thanks to a large number of installations that we carry out, allows us to know what are the points of improvement and efficiency that must be used for new projects. Roasting times are getting shorter and shorter, grain developments are larger, by higher sterilization percentages, higher milling capacities, degassing times are shorter, and transport distances and capacities from process equipment to packaging equipment are longer and longer.
  • The development of the equipment takes absolutely into account the geographical uniqueness where the equipment will be installed, since each site has specific climatic and geographical conditions. The technical training of the operators is also unique, therefore, the equipment is designed so that they can be used more effectively and easily by the operators, and that these equipment can be 100% efficient under different operating conditions.
  • The degrees of automation of the equipment are also different: although all the equipment is automatic, the access to the automation can be of different degree, from simpler presentations to avoid the erroneous use of the equipment, to more complete ones that allow a higher degree of personification in the use of the equipment. The degrees of automation are dynamic, that is, they can be adapted at any time during the life of the equipment.
  • A large part of the projects that are carried out must respect the traditional methods of roasting, many of them preserved from generation to generation. It is possible to adapt the equipment so that these traditional processes are done effectively with modern equipment, allowing to fit artisan elaboration processes with modern technology effectively.
  • Current process equipment has lower energy consumption compared to older models. Innovation studies allow that, in the future, these consumptions are even lower and more efficient, and that they are adapted for the use of renewable and clean energies.
  • Equipment is increasingly being designed to be more robust and reliable during all years of service life. All equipment is designed so that the performance of the equipment is nominal during the first 25 years of useful life of the equipment, without the need for significant modifications.
