Gentle pneumatic conveying of coffee – without spillage or product damage

Frellsen's Coffee faced challenges in accurately and gently handling both ground coffee and roasted coffee beans for a high-speed bagging machine. With a pneumatic conveying system from Provak, coffee can now be dosed stably and controlled – even at high capacities.

  • Branch Coffee roasting and food production
  • Setup Production with both whole beans and ground coffee
  • Characteristics High demands on product quality, gentle handling and stable bag filling at high speed

The challenge

When filling coffee into high-speed bag-making machines, two central challenges arose. The roasted coffee beans had to be protected from damage during transport, while at the same time, the ground coffee needed to be dispensed evenly and dust-free – even at a high production rate. The existing solution made it difficult to combine high capacity with consistent dosing and gentle product handling, which led to a risk of spills, dust, and quality degradation.

The solution

The solution made it possible to transport both whole roasted coffee beans and ground coffee gently via vacuum directly to the bagging machine.
The pneumatic conveying system ensures a quiet and controlled material flow, supporting stable dosing, high packaging capacity, and a closed, dust-free production environment.

“The solution from Provak has given us stable and gentle handling of coffee on our packing line. It works reliably – even at high speed.” – Frellsens Kaffe

Implementation

The system was adapted to Frellsen Coffee's existing packaging equipment and integrated into the production line with minimal disruption to daily operations.

The result

  • Gentle transport of both coffee beans and ground coffee
  • Stable and precise dosing for high-speed bag packaging machine
  • Uniform filling – even at high capacities
  • Less waste, dust, and need for manual intervention
