IMF Roasters designs and manufactures advanced solutions for the efficient and safe reception of green coffee, whether in bags, big bags, or bulk delivery. Our equipment is engineered to guarantee seamless handling, maximum cleanliness, and integration with modern roasting plant operations.
Underground or frame-mounted receiving hoppers, suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.
Compatible with single jute bags (60/70 kg), big bags, or bulk coffee directly from containers and trucks.
Integration with telescopic conveyors, palletizer/depalletizer robots, and tilting systems for optimized bag unloading.
Walkable grids equipped with dust extraction for maximum air filtration and operator safety.
Designed to connect with IMF’s central dust filtering and aspiration systems for higher efficiency.
with Manual or Automatic Hoist
The IMF Receiving Hopper is engineered for reliable entry-level green coffee intake in any plant layout. Install underground for low-profile loading or on a structural frame for fast bag discharging operations (up to 6 tons/hour) and easy maintenance.
Pair it with a manual or automatic hoist to handle single jute bags (60/70 kg) or big bags with minimal manual effort.
A cost-effective, compact station for safe manual big bag unloading (up to 10 tons/hour), designed to be loaded by forklift or manual hoist. Ideal for small to mid-scale operations or as a flexible intake point alongside automated lines.
with Accumulating Conveyor Rollers, Integrated Discharge Hopper & Automatic Hoist
For roasteries targeting high medium rates (up to 12 tons/hour), Automate big bag unloading from queue to discharge.
IMF’s line uses accumulating conveyor rollers to stage multiple bags, an automatic hoist to position each bag, and an integrated discharge hopper for dust-controlled, repeatable emptying.
with Telescopic Conveyors
Streamline container and truck unloading with IMF’s telescopic conveyor paired with robotic palletizing/depalletizing and or integrated to bag opening unit up to 12 tons/h.
This modular cell reduces manual handling, stabilizes throughput, and prepares green coffee for downstream storage or cleaning.
with Pallet Tilting System
For roasteries targeting high reception rates (up to 30 tons/hour), the IMF pallet tilting system accelerates unloading by presenting bags at an optimal angle to the bag opening unit, cutting cycle times and operator interventions.
for Trucks & Containers
IMF Outdoor Bulk Hoppers are purpose-built for truck or container bulk unloading up to 40 tons/h.
Heavy-duty structures and weather protection ensure reliable intake, while intelligent extraction and dosing deliver a steady feed to the plant.
Efficient green coffee handling is the foundation of a reliable roasting process. IMF intake systems are engineered to streamline unloading from bags, big bags or bulk delivery, protecting bean quality while integrating seamlessly with storage and roasting lines.
Compatible with single jute bags, big bags and bulk coffee direct from containers and trucks, indoors or outdoors.
Controlled unloading and low-impact transfer preserve bean integrity from the very first stage of the process.
Walkable grids and dust extraction points connected to central filtering keep the receiving area clean and safe for operators.
Integration with telescopic conveyors, palletizer/depalletizer robots and tilting systems reduces manual handling and speeds up unloading.
Configurations scaled to your production capacity, engineered to connect seamlessly with existing plants and downstream equipment.
Robust, industrial-grade construction designed for reliable, high-throughput daily use.
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.
