Have you already seen our eco-friendly technology? Here’s what you are looking for: IMF Roasters Technology
Our roasters already have integrated a system for treating and cleaning the roasting smoke, in order to reduce emissions.
Here are further solutions we can provide for your plant or roaster:
Process & Facility Heating
Roasting exhaust gases contain large amounts of unused thermal energy. IMF Heat Recovery Systems capture this waste heat and transform it into clean, warm air for production areas, warehouses, or process reuse.
By recycling energy that would otherwise be lost, you reduce gas consumption, improve sustainability, and cut operating costs.
CO & Odor Abatement at Low Temperatures
In every roasting plant the control of emissions and odors is critical for compliance and workplace, especially in those areas with the lowest limits.
IMF Catalytic Oxidizers ensure efficient abatement at significantly lower operating temperatures than thermal systems. This reduces fuel consumption, speeds up start-up, and improves the overall energy balance of the plant.
For roasting lines with high VOC-COT loads or strong odor peaks, IMF Thermal Oxidizers (Afterburners) provide robust, proven abatement.
A dedicated Cooling Air Odor Compliance module treats bean cooler exhaust with variable flow rates, eliminating the strongest odor peaks of the roasting process.
Dust Aspiration & Filtering Systems
In every industrial coffee roasting plant, dust management is critical. From green coffee intake to conveying and grinding, airborne particles can compromise product quality, workplace safety, and equipment reliability.
IMF designs custom-engineered dust extraction systems that guarantee cleaner air, safer operation, and longer machine life—ensuring maximum preservation of both the coffee beans and your plant performance.
Energy Savings & Productivity
Roasting requires significant energy to bring green beans up to temperature. IMF Green Coffee Preheating Systems reuse waste heat from oxidizers or roasters to pre-warm beans before they enter the drum.
This reduces specific energy consumption, shortens roasting cycles, and improves throughput without affecting cup quality.
With decades of experience in the design of environmental industrial coffee roasting plants, IMF provides tailor-made solutions that combine advanced technology, sustainability, and reliability. Every solution is built to optimize workflow, reduce environmental impact, and ensure long-term performance.

Green coffee handling from low to high throughput, robust designs, and maximum reliability.
Remove foreign matter, stabilize roasting performance, and raise the commercial value of your finished product.
From compact indoor layouts to large outdoor installations, every silo is engineered to protect quality, optimize workflow, and integrated to each project.
We spent months researching, testing, and tasting before finally bringing home our first IMF air roaster. The results were a revelation. This machine unlocked a new dimension of clarity and sweetness in our coffees like Raxidi Lobo Estate, Ratnagiri Estate YC01.
IMF – 60 kg (2020) This machine took me into professional roasting. A combined drum + hot-air system with energy-efficient heating, afterburner, filter, and a destoner to remove any foreign particles. Because the system is closed and uses controlled hot air, it keeps the roast clean, even, and stable — no burnt spots, no uneven heat, no weather influence. Summer heat or winter cold doesn’t matter; the roast curve stays the same. Many typical roasting errors are eliminated by design. This is the level you need before going to the market with real volume — precision, repeatability, and protection against mistakes.
The IMF’s higher air throughput offers superior control of roast curves at all times, especially when most needed late in a roast.
Once we saw IMF's impressive operation, we were confident enough to cancel the rest of our manufacturer visits. Not long after, we placed an order for both our manual RM5 and an automatic RM60. The deciding factors were efficiency, roast quality and support.
Our RM60 provides a consistent, high quality roasting experience that supports our focus for delivering quality coffee to our café partners and home customers.
With the goal of creating new solutions capable of ensuring ever-higher quality standards and cutting-edge technologies, we enthusiastically began sharing ideas and constantly discussing suitable solutions.
The goal is to guarantee consumers high-quality coffee. The coffee roasting process, for example, the result of the ongoing collaboration between the two companies, has now reached extremely high levels in terms of quality and process technology.
I would highly recommend IMF to anyone looking for a quality machine, a roaster that allows consistent repetitive roasts, and a company that is always available to help when an issue does arise, which is not always the case in the manufacturing sector of the coffee industry.
I would absolutely recommend to every roaster to consider IMF. IMF was the only machine that had no limitations when it comes to power or batch capacity. It is nice being able to roast a full batch in under 8 minutes. Being a full convection machine allows specialty roasters to roast few points lighter without risking underdevelopment.
Also, I believe every business today is trying to reduce their carbon footprint. Technology that comes with IMF requires no afterburner and consumes 30% less gas compared to other manufactures.
I knew IMF by a German dealer and found it’s concept very interesting.The most important things in IMF’s roasters are the integration of an afterburner in the roasting machine and the method of heat transfer by air. The first one leads to lower energy consumption and emissions compared to a roaster plus traditional afterburner.
and the ease in which we can adjust the process without chasing a roasting curve. I really like to create the roast profile based on hot air in instead of hot air out. Also the build in afterburner is a big advantage.
We were looking for a IMF 15kg model but we were offered a 30kg used model and chose that one. We are really satisfied with it.
Our sales or technical team will get in touch as soon as possible.
