Industrial Coffee Grinders

Maximum Preservation of the Coffee Beans

Grinding is a decisive step for cup quality. IMF industrial coffee grinders deliver repeatable particle size distributions while minimizing heat load, fines, and aroma loss—so extraction is consistent and flavor stays true across every batch. Our portfolio covers roller and blade/impact technologies, sized from pilot plants to multi-ton-per-hour production, and integrates seamlessly with IMF’s industrial coffee roasting plants.

Key Features

  • Consistent particle size: stable D50/D90 with low fines for predictable extraction and crema/body.
  • Aroma protection: low-temperature grinding paths and optional cooling strategies reduce thermal stress.
  • Automation & recipes: PLC/HMI with stored grind profiles, auto roll-gap/shaft-speed setpoints, alarms, and production reporting; SCADA/ERP connectivity on request.
  • Hygiene & safety: dust-tight enclosures, food-grade contact parts, guarded drives, and ATEX-ready options where required.
  • Clean operation: integrated aspiration points route airflow to the plant’s central dust filtering system, reducing airborne dust and housekeeping.
  • Energy & sustainability: VFDs, optimized kWh/ton, long-life wear components, and maintenance-friendly access for lower lifecycle cost.
  • Quality control: sample ports and (optional) inline sieving/particle analysis to verify grind in real time.
  • Scalable capacities: from ≈0.1 t/h pilot runs up to ≈9 t/h industrial lines (application-dependent), configured for your targets and throughput.

Available Architectures

Roller Grinding Lines (Multi-Stage Rollers)

For precision PSDs and narrow spreads (ideal for espresso, capsule, soluble pre-grind, ultrafine). Servo-controlled roll gaps and optional temperature management keep the process cool and consistent.

Blade/Impact Grinders (Pre-Grind to Ultrafine)

Flexible, high-throughput grinding for a wide range of targets—from filter to ultrafine—used stand-alone or upstream of roller finishing stages.

TESTIMONIALS

Here's what our clients say about us

The IMF air roaster has taken us to new heights for quality and consistency.

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.

I also got to try out different roasting machines together with great roasters and ultimately made my decision and went for the technology of IMF Roasters.

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.

IMF makes the best roasting machines in the world

The IMF’s higher air throughput offers superior control of roast curves at all times, especially when most needed late in a roast.

It was love at first sight

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 IMF, I immediately had the feeling that a long-lasting collaboration could be born, one that could lead us to realize new projects.

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 am so pleased with my IMF 15 auto

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.

Howard Sauve

Brûlerie des Monts - Canada

I wanted a machine that had NO limitations

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.

Niko Sunko

Bell Lane Coffee - Ireland

I definitely would recommend IMF

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.

Jochen Hintze

JOCaffè Rösterei & Maschinen - Germany

We chose IMF for the reliable roasting outcome

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.
