Coffee Industry Solutions — From Green Bean to Finished Product

Coffee processing involves much more than roasting and grinding. Behind every consistent cup is a carefully designed process that moves, stores, blends and packs the product while protecting quality at every stage.

At AMH Technologies, we engineer integrated material handling solutions for the coffee industry, supporting processes such as:

  • Green bean intake
  • Pneumatic conveying
  • Storage in silos and hoppers
  • Grinding and powder transfer
  • Mixing and blending
  • Dust control
  • Accurate weighing and dosing
  • Packing and automation

More Than Capacity

For coffee applications, system design should consider more than capacity alone. Important factors include:

  • Gentle handling to minimize bean damage
  • Consistent and reliable material flow
  • Hygienic equipment design
  • Dust containment and cleaner operation
  • Efficient automation and process control
  • Easy maintenance and reduced downtime

Whether handling green beans, roasted beans, ground coffee or powdered ingredients, the objective is the same: protect the product, maintain consistency and keep production running reliably.

Can Coffee Fly? The Complete Journey

This project showcases a complete coffee bean handling system engineered and supplied by AMH Technologies, automating the movement of green coffee beans from storage to roasting.

  • Green coffee beans from origins around the world are stored by variety, then transferred into dedicated silos
  • When production begins, the beans are automatically discharged and conveyed through a closed pneumatic conveying system at more than 10,000 kg per hour
  • A coffee cleaning system removes unwanted foreign materials before roasting
  • Cleaned beans are distributed to multiple roasting lines according to production requirements
  • After roasting, beans are cooled quickly to preserve aroma and flavor, then blended according to the recipe

Moving coffee beans is not simply about capacity. Excessive conveying velocity can cause bean breakage and affect product quality. That is why every AMH system is engineered around product characteristics, capacity, distance, routing and downstream requirements.

With 30 years of process excellence, AMH Technologies continues to support coffee manufacturers with engineered solutions from material intake through to finished-product packing.
