ENERGY SAVING DUE TO PREHEATING OF COFFEE BEANS
In times of high raw material and energy costs, coffee roasters do not only have to consider the quality of their roasting processes;
they also have to optimise these processes in terms of energy savings and cost reduction.
An efficient way to save energy is preheating of the green coffee, which further optimises the already energy-efficient neuhaus
neotec roasting plants.
This is the functional principle of green coffee preheating: Prior to the actual roasting process, the green coffee batch is preheated
to a temperature of about 100 °C in a preheating chamber before it is fed into the roasting chamber. The thermal energy stored in
the beans can not only shorten the subsequent roasting process but also reduce the quantity of consumed energy during roasting,
which in turn causes a reduction of CO2 emissions. neuhaus neotec offer two different systems which reduce energy costs by up
to 25 % and CO2 emissions by about a quarter. Preheating does not only reduce costs and emissions, it also increases the capacity
of the roasting machines by up to 20 %.

THE NEW DRUM ROASTER CTR - 3000
neuhaus neotec complement their range of products by a roasting machine for traditional speciality roasting.
22/23
The roasting plants of neuhaus neotec stand for an innovative and progressive convection roasting technique. About 20 years ago,
the introduction of the RFB roaster covering the entire range of roasting times and qualities laid the foundations of the international
success of the roasting plant manufacturer. For the traditional recipes of speciality roasters, neuhaus neotec now complement
their range of products by a new drum roaster that has been tailor-made for longer roasting times and classical roasting concepts.
The CTR - 3000 has a capacity of more than 3 t/h and roasts batches from 480 kg to 640 kg. However, roasters for lower capacities
are also available. Even though the drum roaster is especially suited for traditional roasts, it also offers new technical solutions,
high-quality safety technology and a modern energy concept. With the new CTR - 3000, neuhaus neotec can provide also those
roasting plants with complete lines which favour the drum roaster. Thus they profit from neuhaus neotec's well-known competence
as well as from considerably easier and more reliable planning, installation and start-up. meanwhile, the first CTR has started
production in a major German roasting plant. now it works round-the-clock to the customer's complete satisfaction.
