LET'S TRY ACMA INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS! ACMA machines are highly flexible, handling a wide range of materials and products, such as black tea, herbal and full leaf. Single or double chamber tea bags packaged in various end-of-line solutions: multi & single row carton box, sleeve carton, bags-in-bag, bags in a pouch. All solutions are focused on green & safety. Loring produces three roasters – the 15-kilogram-capacity S15 Falcon, the 35-kilogram S35 Kestrel, and the 70-ki- logram S70 Peregrine – and the new V2 control system works on all three. Com- pany officials stress that the V2 is not merely a software upgrade. It's a com- plete control system upgrade with a bet- ter touch screen and a new processor in addition to improved software. The control system V2 already is be- ing shipped on new roasters and it will be available to existing owners "in the next couple months," Vogel said. Once the roaster defines that pro- file, he said, the control system enables them to replicate it no matter the batch or roaster size. "We wanted to address the need to run the same profile on different roast- ers," Vogel said. "Now you can take that same profile and do a minimum batch size of, say, three kilograms and then scale it to 15-kilogram batches." A close look at the Loring profile Control System V2. The California-based company saw the need for this new system two years ago, and began the arduous development and testing process. "At our heart, we're designers and engineers at Loring. We're not roastmasters," Vogel said. "But it's not technology for technology's sake. It's been vetted by roast masters. We are the designers and developers of all this but the people who care about what's in the cup had to validate it all." And while the new control system allows roasters to reliably match profiles from batch to batch, the artistry of the craft remains.
