Coffee sorting
Enhancing Coffee sorting efficiency with Meyer advanced sorting technology
Improve Coffee sorting quality and increase throughput
Coffee optical sorting process
MEYER offers advanced solutions for sorting both green, raw coffee beans and roasted coffee. Using optical technology, defective beans—such as discolored, insect-damaged, immature, or over- and under-roasted beans—are effectively removed, ensuring uniformity and high quality in every batch. Additionally, MEYER X-ray detectors can identify foreign objects like stones, metal, or glass, even if they do not differ in color from the coffee beans. This system also operates on sealed packages, providing full control over product safety at every stage of production.

Benefits of using Coffee sorting machines
Increased purity and quality
Optical sorters can detect and remove discolored materials, foreign materials, and defects such as stones, sticks, or damaged grains. This results in higher purity and quality of the final Coffee product, meeting consumer and market standards.
Better Efficiency and Throughput
Optical sorting technology allows for the processing of large volumes of Coffee quickly and accurately, significantly improving throughput compared to manual sorting methods.
Reduced Labor Costs
Automated sorting reduces the need for manual labor, leading to cost savings and reduced human error in the sorting process.
Improved Product Value
Higher quality and purity of sorted Coffee can lead to better market prices and customer satisfaction.
Versatility and Flexibility
Optical sorters can be used for different varieties of Coffee and can be adjusted for different sorting needs, making them versatile tools in Coffee processing.
Reduced Waste
Efficient sorting helps reduce waste by ensuring that only genuinely defective materials are removed, while maximizing the amount of good product.
Data Collection and Analysis
Modern optical sorting systems can collect valuable data about the waste stream, such as composition and contamination levels, aiding in process optimization and regulatory compliance.
Decreased Environmental Impact
By increasing the amount and quality of recycled materials, optical sorters contribute to reduced reliance on virgin resources, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and a smaller environmental footprint for waste management operations.
Enhanced Product Safety
By removing contaminated grains or foreign objects, optical sorters help prevent potential health hazards, contributing to safer products.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can MEYER optical sorters distinguish roasting degrees and eliminate beans with improper roasting profiles?
Yes, MEYER sorters can precisely detect even subtle color differences in coffee beans, allowing for the removal of both over-roasted and under-roasted beans. Thanks to advanced UHD cameras and AI algorithms, these machines can accurately sort beans to ensure a consistent roasting profile throughout the batch.
Can X-ray detectors identify foreign objects in pre-packaged coffee?
Yes, MEYER X-ray detectors can thoroughly analyze sealed coffee packages, detecting any foreign objects that may be present inside. With advanced X-ray technology, these devices precisely identify anomalies such as stones, metal, or glass, regardless of whether they differ in color from the contents of the package. This ensures full control over the quality and safety of the packaged product.
How do MEYER sorters handle differences in the size of coffee beans?
MEYER optical sorters, equipped with advanced AI Deep Learning systems, can precisely analyze variations in the shape and size of the material. This technology allows the machines to effectively remove broken, undersized, or damaged beans, while also identifying and eliminating other contaminants such as sticks or leaves. These systems ensure that every batch is thoroughly cleaned and uniform in quality.
