The worldwide market for coffee and tea extraction plant is changing to meet the public’s demand for higher quality and greater convenience. Niro’s coffee extraction plants are changing too to meet the 21st Century challenges.

In the past, everyone was happy with powdered instant coffee in jars, then came granulated and freeze dried coffee and higher quality.  Today, the market has moved on again with consumers demanding more choice in quality and more choice in convenient packing.
In a recent interview, Sten Warburg, Deputy Division Manager for the Food and Dairy Division at GEA Niro in Copenhagen explained that coffee manufacturers now need to have much greater flexibility within their manufacturing processes.  “Manufacturers now need to be able to adjust their extraction plants easily to vary the extraction yield to meet the quality they need for every product,” he said.		 Coffee Extract
The latest generation of GEA Niro Coffee Extractors provides exactly that.  Coffee quality is determined largely by the amount of coffee flavour extracted from the beans: the more extracted the lower the quality becomes.  The temperature at which the flavour is extracted and the exposure time (known as ‘lenient conditions’) also dictate quality so GEA Niro extractors work at relatively moderate temperatures and with short exposure times. Coffee extraction using GEA Niro methods and equipment provides the required level of flexibility to ensure that the optimum process conditions can be achieved in all circumstances.
With coffee now being supplied in an increasingly varied range of quality, forms (powder, granules, freeze dried or liquid concentrate) and packaging from individual sachets to catering packs, this flexibility is critical to a plant’s ability to meet the needs of its customers today and in the future.
