PA-LAV/35

The Mechanical Coffee Washer/Separator PA-LAV is an essential machine for business development in the coffee industry, designed to process coffee immediately after harvesting. It efficiently separates incoming fresh coffee cherries into floaters and sinkers, with sinkers sent directly to pulping. Depending on the coffee processor's needs, floaters can be pulped or left unprocessed. The PA-LAV Washer/Separator also plays a crucial role in cleaning the fresh coffee cherries, which is vital for ensuring a better-quality final product. Initially, the cherries drop onto a vibrating conveyor that eliminates sand, earth, stones, and leaves. As they enter the machine, water flows through, further removing stones, while floaters and sinkers are separated by density and directed towards the machine's outlet spouts. These outlet spouts are equipped with draining features to minimize water consumption per ton of coffee cherries processed. The cleaning of fresh cherries is important for producing high-quality dry cherry or parchment coffees.
