Advantages of Mercury Conversion

· Economical

1. No need for a separate afterburner

2. New burner is more fuel efficient

3. No need for ACOs (750 c for 45 min). These are expensive to run, cause wear and tear, and dangerous.

4. Reduction in shrinkage because there is no proximity of coffee to firesources.

5. Reduction of shrinkage because of low inlet temperature, made possible by improved airflow

6. Higher output per hour (6-7 min with full batch )

· Safety

1. Pipes made of stainless steel, so they reinforce your roaster and increase the longevity of the roaster

2. Less chances of fires due to elimination of ACO

3. Less chances of fires due to improve air flows and reduced temperatures

· Efficiency

1. Low emissions

2. Shorter roasting times

3. Decreases wear and tear because we do not have high temperature reas near the stack

4. The system will not be smoking, because we use expansion joints instead of slip joints.

· Quality

1. Allows you to set up your curves

2. Greater consistency, because you have Profile Roasting

3. Greater uniformity because of better airflow

4. Better taste because of lower temperatures and shorter roasting times

· Environmentally Friendly

1. Reduces emissions by incorporating new and efficient burner technology

2. Reduces emissions by roasting at lower temperatures and faster.

3. Reduces emissions by reducing fuel consumption.

4. Reduces emissions by eliminating the need for a separate afterburner for the roaster, although you may still need an afterburner for cooler exhausts, depending on local code.

Mercury conversion includes a new energy efficient and low – emissions burner, stainless steel pipe working and an excellent control system. The control system is LOGOFILE, our profile roast control system, which allows you to develop and maintain curves for each of your roasts. This system has been keeping coffee within 1 point on the Agtron scale at our customers’, and automatically adjusts your roaster for all variables. Your present roasts will be “converted” into curves, so you need not worry about any changes in your coffee when you switch to the new system.
