44 STiR coffee and tea | 2023 Issue 2 (April / May) This solution provides numerous advantages: w minimizes the need for nitrogen for both transport and storage of the ground material while awaiting packaging, which can be done either in vacuum or under pressure, resulting in considerable cost savings; w no moving mechanical parts during transport, reducing energy costs, and eliminating maintenance and repair costs; w zero risk of product oxidation; w unaltered particle size distribution of the ground coffee throughout the process thanks to the transport of the ground coffee in the semi-dense phase. Unrivalled energy and cost savings The advantages of the Degassing system ® are obvious and are confirmed by the over 50 companies around the world that have chosen this solution. Data collected from active plants have shown that the use of high vacuum alternating with high pressure cycles can reduce degassing times by up to 40 per cent, resulting in fewer silos, re- ducing investment and factory space occupied. Nitrogen consumption is up to 10 times lower than aver- age, minimized both for transport and storage and during the degassing cycle, thanks to extremely short total process times. For example, during degassing a 650-kg silo uses 5 m3/h of nitrogen, and a 250-kg silo less than 2 m 3 /h There is no lower consumption System on the market today. All this translates into financial savings of tens of thousands of euros per year. Unparalleled degassing The Degassing system ® , available in different sizes and adapt- able to every production requirement and packaging system, has for several years remained the only one on the market capable of reducing degassing times, significantly reducing costs and en- ergy and nitrogen consumption, while always ensuring the high quality of the ground product.
