Coffee Industry Applications

Coffee Extract Clarification and By-Product Recovery

In industrial coffee processing, particularly instant coffee production, precise separation is essential to achieve consistent extract quality and maximize overall yield. Coffee extract streams often contain fine suspended solids that must be removed to protect downstream evaporation, concentration, and drying equipment.

KES centrifuge solutions are integrated at multiple stages of coffee processing to clarify extracts, recover valuable components, and reduce waste volumes.

Coffee Industry Applications

Typical Application Areas

Clarification of thin and thick coffee extract

Disc stack centrifuges efficiently remove insoluble particles, producing clear extract suitable for evaporation and spray drying.

Recovery of extract from separator sludge

Decanter centrifuges process sludge streams to reclaim valuable coffee extract that would otherwise be lost.

Dewatering of spent coffee grounds:

Efficient solids dewatering supports downstream handling, disposal, or energy recovery.
