LST COLOR SORTER

Coffee Color Sorter

COFFEE BEAN SORTING

Coffee sorting changes with green and roasted beans, screen size, defect mix and the buyer’s tolerance for good beans in the reject stream. A sample test is the safest way to see what the sorter can actually separate.

What to send first

Bean type, screen size, defect examples, feed condition and normal hourly throughput.

What we look for

Black, sour, immature, insect-damaged and visibly off-color beans in the same condition as production.

What to protect

The reject stream should be checked carefully, because over-rejecting good beans can cost more than the defect itself.

BEFORE QUOTING

Before we recommend a coffee sorter

Coffee buyers usually care about both defect removal and yield loss. The sample review should make both sides visible.

  • Bean conditionGreen or roasted beans, screen size, moisture condition and whether the feed is whole, broken or mixed.
  • Defect targetsBlack, sour, immature, insect-damaged or off-color beans, ideally shown in the same sample.
  • Reject toleranceHow much good bean carryover can be accepted in the reject stream during normal operation.

Tell us whether you process green or roasted coffee, which defects must be removed and the throughput required.

Tell us about your sorting project

Share the material you process, the visible defects you need to remove and your target throughput. If you can send a representative sample, we can plan the selection around real test conditions.
