Coffee & Tea Conveying

Q: Why choose a pneumatic conveying system over a mechanical conveying system?

Some of the advantages of choosing a pneumatic conveying system over a mechanical transport system are adaptability to virtually any site configuration, ease of maintenance, and faster ROI. Pneumatic conveying systems can also move dry bulk materials farther than conventional mechanical systems, at a lower cost.

Coffee beans & grounds; Tea leaves & powders.

Coffee & Tea Application—How it works

Transfer ‘green’ coffee beans from a bag, super sack, or box to a roaster, bag dump station, then to a whole bean packaging station. Or, transfer from a roaster to a grinder, then to a grounds packaging station.

Challenges and Solutions

Every materials has it challenges, and we have the right solutions to counter them.
Our Coffee Whisper Loaders let you transfer green coffee beans from a bag, super sack or box to a coffee roaster.

Portability requirements

Product movement can be dangerous and tedious. We offer portable feed bin hoppers that allow you to move your products safely and efficiently.

Fragile Products

Our products use speed control as well as a boxed inlet system that helps deduce impact and prevent a breakdown of the materials.

Limited Floor Space

Not every factory has the same amount of space. Our systems are built to work in compact layouts with specially placed side access filters for convenience.

Dust control

Our systems are equipped with primary and secondary filtration systems, and built with high efficiency PTFE filter media that ensure a dust-free environment.

Options & accessories

Speed Control

A variable speed control dial on the control panel slows motor speed for conveying roasted coffee beans, or increases speed for green beans and grounds.

Green-Bean Loader

Pneu-Con's Coffee Conveying System is enhanced with the addition of an innovative green coffee bean loader, for safer handling of green coffee beans.

Portable Hopper

Portable feed bin hoppers are available as an option for Pneu-Con's Coffee Conveying System. Conveying adapters and flow control valves are also available.

Vibra-Pulse™

Automatic filter cleaning system built into cover assembly. Halting compressed air flow and flexing filter media causes particles to drop from pleats into a hopper.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose a pneumatic conveying system over a mechanical conveying system?

How much does a pneumatic conveying system cost?

Pricing for a pneumatic conveying system varies from project to project, and from application to application. We treat every customer’s project as a custom design, but can often put together a bulk material handling solution using standard parts. This approach can save the customer time and reduce overall costs. We can also design and engineer a complete custom pneumatic conveying system based on a customer’s specifications, and for those bulk material applications which have unique requirements.

Which services does Pneu-Con offer?

Pneu-Con can design and engineer any type of bulk material handling system for most applications. We engineer and manufacture pneumatic conveying systems and can integrate our systems with components and controls from other manufacturers.

Our full range of services includes market research, design, engineering, integration, commissioning, startup, repair, parts, maintenance and staff training of complete bulk material processing systems and solutions.
