Pneumatic transport systems for coffee:
For decades, OGA has specialized in designing systems for coffee handling, implementing Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for correct application in production processes.
Every development of pneumatic transport systems for coffee implicitly includes basic concepts of protection against cross-contamination, coffee bean destruction, accumulation points, equipment cleaning facilities, traceability, and finishes that meet the demanding industrial requirements.
The process begins with green coffee, which is brought to a system called cleaning towers. Then, the coffee is stored in one or multiple silos where automatic weighing and mixing for batch preparation occur. This mixture is then taken to the roasting and cooking process.
From the roasters, the roasted coffee is pneumatically transported to storage tanks, ensuring minimal breakage and preserving its aromatic properties. Later, it is stored according to the reference of the roasted coffee in storage silos. After that, the material is weighed by mix or preparation recipe.

Benefits of OGA's Pneumatic Transport Systems for Coffee
The pneumatic transport from the roasters moves the roasted coffee to the storage tanks. This process guarantees minimal breakage and preservation of its aromatic properties. Then, it is stored in storage silos according to the reference of the roasted coffee, and the material is weighed by mix or preparation recipe.
Lean Manufacturing
OGA’s engineering and design processes support the implementation of models like Lean Manufacturing, Kaizen, TQM, and 5S. This has allowed for the progressive development of pneumatic transport systems within the framework of Industry 4.0. It focuses on effectiveness, efficiency, and innovation in real operations. These applications optimize resources, equipment, and processing time without compromising quality or operational benefits.
Pollution Control in the Coffee Industry
One of the essential factors in the coffee industry is the control, prevention, and safety of the raw material in process, protecting it from external contaminant agents. OGA’s pneumatic transport systems have a rigorous process of industrial control and prevention. This avoids contaminant pollution factors in the pneumatic transport process and complies with international standards.
