Applications & Use Cases

• Used for bulk storage of green coffee beans in coffee roasting facilities.
• Suitable for temporary holding of beans prior to roasting or packaging.
• Can be integrated into automated bean handling and weighing systems.
• Ideal for managing different bean origins or blends within a processing line.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity per silo

For this class of equipment, individual silo capacities commonly range from 500 kg to 2,000 kg, depending on design.

Overall footprint

A set of six silos, particularly with an integrated weigh scale and blower, typically requires a significant floor area and vertical clearance.

Power supply

Integrated blowers and electronic weigh scales commonly operate on standard industrial single-phase or three-phase supplies, such as 230V or 400V.

Material construction

Silos for green beans are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel or mild steel with a food-safe coating to prevent contamination and maintain bean quality.

Loading mechanism

Units of this type commonly feature a loading hopper for manual or pneumatic transfer of beans into the silos.

Discharge mechanism

Individual valve levers for controlled discharge into a weigh scale or other downstream equipment are a common feature.

Weighing accuracy

Integrated electronic weigh scales are typically designed for accurate batch weighing, crucial for consistent roasting profiles.
