Tailored Solutions
for green coffee
Built to suit each customer, in line with their preferences on coffee reception and handling, IMA Petroncini has developed the broadest range of tailor-made solutions for the green coffee receiving, cleaning, conveying and storaging stages, making sure gentle and efficient treatments are the bottom line right from the start. From single jute bag up to container automatic unloading, each engineering solution will be adapted to the subsequent processing stages according to the needs of each customer and takes into account factors such as energy-efficiency, productivity and safety, combined with close attention to coffee integrity and hygienic design.
Intake Solutions
- Indoor and outdoor receiving hopper for bags or big bags can be installed underground or on a supporting frame.
- Telescopic conveyor for bags combined with palletizing/depalletizing robot and bags opening unit.
- Tilting system for pallets combined with bags opening unit. This system improves efficiency when reception rates are around 750 bags per hour.
- Outdoor green coffee hoppers are tailored for receiving bulk from trucks or containers.
- Tilting station combined with a sorting unit for handle the bags downstream up to the bags opening unit.
- Tilting system for pallets combined with bags opening unit. This system improves efficiency when reception rates are around 750 bags per hour.
Cleaning Solutions
- Basic cleaning sieve, which can be fitted with a magnetic surface to eliminate iron based impurities, to separate impurities that are finer and/or coarser than the coffee.
- Densimetric/gravity table used to separate other beans or stones having almost the same size as coffee beans, based on the lower density such as wood and aluminium impurities.
- A superior dust extraction system is integrated in every solution and the flow of the air can be addressed to the main dust filtering system.
- Dry destoner to remove foreign bodies with a specific weight greater than coffee, such as stones and pieces of metal.
- Optical sorting machines for every processing capacity to sort by shape and by colour.
- Customised plant configuration to include/esclude some cleaning passes depending on the production schedule.
Storaging Solutions
- Circular shape silos responding to the most precise hygienic-design specifications.
- The modular shape for a total optimisation of the vertical space is suitable for future storaging expansion.
- Petroncini’s cutting-edge batch-weighing device can be installed beneath the silos making it possible to accurately dose the green coffee.
- Polygonal storaging silo for the best space optimisation and processing a wide range of coffee origins.
- Petroncini’ Production Manager® is a useful tool to manage the coffee in the storage, avoiding contamination and production downtimes.
- Dust aspiration and filtering systems guarantee a dust free working area with a real attention to the environment impact.
Tailored Solutions
for roasted coffee
Efficient, and safe handling and storage systems are very important to protect and preserve the integrity of roasted coffee. IMA Petroncini provides coffee roasting machines and complete, customized roasted coffee plants specifically designed to meet every production needs.
Handling Solutions
- Bucket elevator for gentle conveying without any breakages for small distances.
- Tubular drag conveyor or chain conveyor in the longer distances for the maximum aroma protection.
- Pneumatic conveying by compression or aspiration for the highest flexibility and multiple discharge.
- Special pneumatic handling systems, self-regulating according to the specific weight of the roasted coffee.
- Receiving cyclones and rotary distributors above the storaging silos are engineered with special materials to avoid any breakages.
Storaging Solutions
- Squared, polygonal or circular silos for small and big capacity equipped with fall shock absorbers tailored on silo’s capacity.
- Multidischarge systems with product preservation with easy access and cleaning, efficient and reliable positioning.
- Receiving cyclones and rotary distributors designed with special shock absorbing material.
- Internal and external installations and different materials and colour available.
- Complete automation of the storaging process depending on the plan, for the complete traceability of the coffee batches.
Blending Solutions
- Batch weighing system for the highest precise blend dosing.
- Dosing valves with coarse and fine dosing ensures high recipe accuracy.
- Volume optimization through the action of LINE-S Cone Valve.
- Weighing accuracy through three loading cells and the management of the LINE-S Cone Valve.
- Dust-tightness by way of suction avoids product contamination and keeps the working area clean.
- Easy maintenance and self-cleaning are guaranteed by compressed air injection
Tailored Solutions
for ground coffee
Ground coffee must be properly homogenised and dosed, so ground coffee handling systems are very important to have a constant final quality product, for pod and capsule style and even for the spiced Turkish coffee. Following the same principle of maintaining the product homogenised and perfecly mixed especially once ground, preserving the coffee aroma and preventing the oxidation at the same time, Petroncini provides the very best trasport solutions.
Grinding Solutions

- Grinding blades made in chrome-magnesium hard steel, available in different sizes and even for Turkish coffee style.
- Forced air cooling system installed on the blades grinders ensure preserving the coffee quality and organoleptic properties.
Handling Solutions
- Tubolar disc conveyor ideal to avoid demixing and oxidation of the product in capsules.
- Petroncini TPA Pneumatic Transport System for ground coffee, suitable for the long distances and high production rate.
- Air tight ground coffee systems under controlled atmosphere from grinders to packaging machines.
- Ground coffee storages are tailor-made based on production requirement and space availability.
- Special equipment for the continuous homogenization of coffee and spices.

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 Features
- Maximum aroma and shelf-life preservation thanks to the zero oxygen presence inside the circuit
- Degassing time reduction operated by the vacuum system
- No more packaging stressed
- Nitrogen consumption optimisation during the different phases of the process
- Superior consistency of the product through the ExtraMax extraction technology
- Perfect process control using recipes customisable by degassing time and final CO2 desired
