Coffee Roasting Dust Collectors
Coffee roasting is required to prepare coffee beans for the brewing process. The roasting process uses heat to chemically and physical alter the coffee bean. During the roasting process, particulates, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), organic acids, and combustion products (CO2, CO, etc.) are released. Often times, cyclones are used to remove the particulate matter before the VOCs, acids, etc. are treated in a thermal oxidizer or other technology.
Aerodyne’s GPC cyclone is ideal for coffee roasting. Its compact size allows it to be installed near the coffee roaster and doesn’t require a lot of room. The GPC’s high removal efficiency means that only the very finest particulate will make it to your final treatment equipment.

Description: Coffee roasters give off chaff and other particulate that can cause issues with thermal oxidizers and Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP) used to control fumes and other VOCs. The Aerodyne DH-12 cyclone is used as a pre-filter to remove these particulates so that the thermal oxidizer or ESP can operate with minimal particulates.
