Screw Conveyor for Coffee Powder

Coffee powder screw conveyor is a kind of screw conveyor specially designed for the transportation of coffee powder in the food industry. Ground coffee screw conveyors are used in the coffee production process to convey ground coffee from one point to another, for example from grinding and roasting equipment to packaging equipment.

Application of coffee powder screw conveyor

Screw conveyors are commonly used in the food industry, including the coffee industry, for the transportation of powder and bulk materials. The following are some specific applications of screw conveyors for coffee powder:

Raw material transportation: used to transport raw materials such as green coffee beans or roasted coffee beans to the processing plant. The raw material is transported to a processing plant where it is processed into ground coffee.

Coffee powder production: After the raw materials have been transported to the processing plant, they can be transported to different stages of the production process using screw conveyors. This includes the grinding and roasting stage, where raw materials are ground and roasted to produce ground coffee.

Finished Product Transportation: Screw conveyors can be used to transport finished coffee grounds to storage or packaging facilities. Coffee grounds are collected and transported to storage or packaging facilities for further processing and distribution.

Handling of coffee ground dust: Screw conveyors can also be used to handle coffee ground dust generated during the production process. A screw conveyor conveys the dust to the dust collection system for removal and disposal.

Here is a customer case of using a screw conveyor to convey coffee powder:

Client: An Italian coffee company

Application: Transport of roasted coffee beans and ground coffee from roasting facility to packaging facility.

Solution: Install a tubular screw conveyor to transport roasted coffee beans and ground coffee from the roasting facility to the packaging facility. The conveyor has a design capacity of 15 tons of ground coffee per hour. The screw conveyor is made of stainless steel to prevent corrosion and contamination of the coffee powder. The conveyor is also equipped with a dust removal system to reduce dust emissions during transportation.

Result: The screw conveyor provided a reliable and efficient method of conveying ground coffee from the roaster to the packaging facility. The conveyor is able to handle the required volume of ground coffee and the dust removal system effectively controls dust emissions. The customer is satisfied with the performance of the screw conveyor and states that the efficiency of the coffee production process has increased.

Advantages of coffee powder screw conveyor

Screw conveyors are a popular choice for the transportation of ground coffee in the food industry due to their many advantages. Here are some advantages of using screw conveyors for coffee powder transportation:

1. Efficient and reliable: They can transport large quantities of ground coffee over long distances and are less prone to breakdowns.

2. Clean and hygienic: Made of stainless steel, it is easy to clean, prevents rust, and prevents the coffee powder from being polluted.

3. Dust control: Screw conveyors can help control the dust generated during transport, as they can be enclosed or fitted with a dust collection system to minimize the release of coffee ground dust into the air.

4. There is a material cleaning port at the bottom. If you need to change the material, you only need to blow it down with an air gun to remove a small part of the residual material. And a safety switch is designed at the material cleaning port. Once the material cleaning door is opened, the power will be cut off, which is safe and reliable.

Are there any specific safety regulations or standards that screw conveyors for coffee powder must meet?

The coffee powder screw conveyor must meet specific safety regulations and standards to ensure food safety and prevent contamination, the following are some regulations and standards that the coffee powder screw conveyor must meet:

Materials of Construction: Screw conveyors for ground coffee must be constructed of materials that are safe for food contact, such as stainless steel or food-grade plastic. The materials used should be corrosion resistant, easy to clean and durable.

Design and Construction: Screw conveyors must be designed and constructed to prevent product contamination, dust generation and product degradation. Conveyors should be easy to clean and maintain, with no areas where product can become trapped or allow bacteria to grow.

Maintenance and Cleaning: Screw conveyors must be cleaned and maintained regularly to prevent product residues from building up, which can lead to contamination. Cleaning procedures must be documented and followed to ensure the conveyor is cleaned effectively.

When designing a coffee ground auger conveyor, several factors need to be considered, such as the type of coffee ground, required flow rate, and conveying distance. Screw conveyors should be designed to prevent product degradation, dust generation and contamination. Conveyors should also be easy to clean and maintain to ensure food safety and hygiene standards are met.
