Degassing Process

Particular attention must be paid to the degassing process. Degassing is a natural chemical reaction that happens inside the beans once roasted and ground. Preventing package inflation and avoiding oxidation are the main factors that have led to the spread of degassing technologies over recent years, especially in the single-serve market. Depending on the room temperature, on roasting parameters, granulometry and the pressure of the coffee inside the storage silos, degassing time can range from 4 to 48 hours.

Production requirements mean degassing time must be reduced to as little as possible, without any aroma loss. The technologies used to accelerate degassing times make it possible to reduce the time, while still preserving the quality of the product.

IMA Petroncini has developed different degassing systems available in various configurations for the desired degassing process. The degassing can be done either in natural conditions with aroma protection by nitrogen, or with an acceleration of the process by using the vacuum technology combined with nitrogen injection. The very next-generation degassing solution is meant to accelerate the degassing process in a vacuum closed circuit with nitrogen injection and product recirculation: that’s Petroncini CO-Tube degassing system.

CO-Tube: Revolutionary Degassing Process

Zero Oxygen inside the circuit

CO-Tube is a system capable of accelerating the degassing time through the deep vacuum technology up to -800 mbar, with a nitrogen injection.

The mechanical recirculation of the product used in the new CO-Tube degassing system is an innovation on the market compared to other systems existing. It enables the ground coffee to homogeneously make contact with the nitrogen, keeping the product homogeneous in the silo.

Furthermore, the most innovative CO-Tube feature is linked to the closed-circuit adopted, the unique system available on the market today able to partial recover the nitrogen needed during the process. Furthermore, this specific process engineering combines the possibility to set the final CO2 percentage desired as a parameter of each recipe.

As a result of the degassing time and CO2 parameters, it’s possible to customize the desired ending product and aromas.
