COFFEE SILOS

Coffee silos allow the storage and cooling of coffee as it is being roasted, without any external conditions affecting its quality.

The general process of drying coffee begins with grinding, which is carried out by hand or by machines. An electric coffee hopper connects to a coffee grinder, and the grinding of coffee occurs in the hopper connected to the grinder. If a single-cup coffee hopper is installed, it can accommodate one cup at a time. A double-cup hopper can brew up to eight cups at a time. If the coffee is brewed within an hour, it should be ready for delivery within twenty four hours.

The two types of coffee silos are open and closed. In open ones, the air flow through the entire system is by means of a tube or pipe. This type of system gives the user the option to regulate the air discharge principles. Closed coffee been silos have solid walls constructed out of steel, aluminum or cementitious materials. The interior of the storage unit is completely sealed and there is no way for air to get in.

Closed system silos also have what are known as carbon steel hopper walls. These carbon steel hopper walls allow the water to be sucked up into the hopper by coiling around the inside. The coffee gets discharged through the interior channel when the water is released through the channel. The advantages of using this kind of system is that it allows control of mass flow, excellent air flow, and maximum storage volume at low prices.

In order to maintain the temperature of the interior, you need to invest in a temperature controller. There are systems with digital controls that can read the humidity and even the outside temperature and set the appropriate temperature. In addition, the temperature controller must also have the capability to monitor the time frame of the brewing process. If you want to store your coffee for long periods of time, you should purchase a coffee bean silos with room temperature capability. For home use, it is advisable to use a cold storage silo where the coffee is stored in a refrigerator.
