The Challenge

Transporting premium coffee beans – gentle, hygienic, efficient

When processing finely roasted coffee beans, mechanical conveying represents a critical stage. For brands with a strong focus on quality and aroma, the conveying process must ensure that

the structural integrity of the beans is preserved
no loss of quality occurs due to breakage or abrasion
cross-contamination between varieties is completely prevented
hygiene standards are maintained at the highest level
production processes are supported with high energy efficiency
factory tours and transparent production lines are not disturbed by noise
the system operates reliably in the long term with minimal maintenance requirements

The Solution

NERAK bucket elevators – five reasons for sustainable success in coffee processing

In close collaboration with Schuilenburg, our costumer chose to implement a NERAK bucket elevator system.

gentle bulk material handling protects roasted beans from breakage – essential for preserving aroma and visual quality
the enclosed design reduces abrasion particles and meets high hygiene standards – ideal for premium production environments
compared to pneumatic systems, the purely mechanical solution delivers significantly lower energy consumption
complete bucket emptying prevents product residues – a key advantage for frequent bean variety changes
the NERAK rubber block chain ensures quiet operation with minimal maintenance – beneficial for visitor-oriented show roasteries

By deploying NERAK bucket elevators, our costumer successfully met the technical and sensory requirements of modern premium roasteries. Find more down below.
