Protecting bean integrity after roasting is critical. IMF roasted coffee storage silos are engineered to minimize drop impact, control dust, and prevent breakage—so aroma, structure, and cup quality are preserved all the way to packaging.
Internal devices (e.g., spiral chutes) limit free-fall height and reduce velocity so beans aren’t damaged—especially where drops could otherwise exceed.
Circular, polygonal, or square silos designed around available space, required autonomy, and the number of origins.
From hundreds of kilograms to many tons, with layouts sized for high production rates (e.g., ≈5 t/h per line, application-dependent).
Obstruction-avoiding inlets, mass-flow hopper geometry, and optional vibrating cones keep product moving consistently without bridging.
Options for loss-in-weight discharge or batch weighing under each cell to control shrinkage, blends, and inventory.
PLC/HMI integration for level monitoring, recipe routing, alarms, and data logging; easy tie-in to SCADA/ERP.
Food-grade contact surfaces and smooth finishes for fast sanitation and low residue build-up.
Degassing/venting management, oxygen-control strategies, and sealed connections to downstream conveying.
IMF Circular Silos are built to the highest hygienic-design standards to protect roasted beans after cooling. The circular geometry eliminates corners and residue traps, while gentle-flow internals limit drop heights.
Integrated loss-in-weight (LIW) dosing delivers precise, continuous feed to packaging or downstream blending.
IMF Polygonal Silos maximize floor space and enable high-density clustering of cells for multiple origins and blends.
Designed for gentle handling, each cell features fall-control internals and clean, dust-tight connections to distribution and dosing equipment.
(Vertical Space Optimization & Future Expansion)
IMF Modular Silos maximize vertical space and are engineered for scalable capacity. Add cells as production grows without redesigning your plant.
Gentle-flow internals and controlled venting safeguard bean integrity throughout resting and storage.
Installed beneath the silo, the IMF Self-Correcting Batch-Weighing device ensures high-precision dosing of roasted coffee.
It verifies post-roast shrinkage, controls batch sizes for blending/packaging, and maintains accuracy via auto-zero, drift compensation, and calibration checks.
Protecting bean integrity after roasting is critical. IMF roasted coffee storage silos are engineered to minimise drop impact, control dust and prevent breakage, preserving aroma, structure and cup quality all the way to packaging.
Internal devices such as spiral chutes limit free-fall height and reduce velocity, protecting fragile roasted beans from damage.
Degassing, venting and sealed connections to downstream conveying keep the aromatic profile intact throughout storage.
Circular, polygonal or square silos designed around your available space, capacity and number of origins.
Loss-in-weight discharge and batch weighing under each cell control shrinkage, blends and inventory accuracy.
PLC/HMI integration for level monitoring, recipe routing, alarms and data logging, easy to connect to SCADA/ERP.
Food-grade contact surfaces and smooth finishes ensure fast sanitation and low residue build-up.
A smart software tool that monitors and manages green coffee storage, preventing cross-contamination and reducing downtime.
Every conveying line is tailored around your coffee type, throughput, and layout.
Roasted coffee blending systems that protect bean integrity, integrate precise batch weighing, and connect seamlessly with storage silos, grinders, and packaging lines.
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.
