CON Coffee Hulling & Processing Unit

Product Overview

 

Models: CON-4 / CON-6 / CON-8 / CON-12

The CON Combined Hulling Unit is a complete coffee processing system designed to clean, destone, hull, separate, and classify coffee in a single integrated operation. It processes both arabica and robusta coffee, whether in dry cherry or parchment form, delivering high productivity and efficient separation of beans and impurities.

The system integrates multiple processing stages into one compact unit, improving processing efficiency while ensuring optimal use of coffee beans and by-products.

Key Advantages

Complete Processing System – performs cleaning, destoning, hulling, repassing, and separation in one integrated unit.

High Productivity – designed for continuous coffee milling with efficient processing capacity.

Improved Coffee Quality – removes impurities and defective beans while separating high-quality beans.

Efficient Use of Coffee By-Products – allows partial recovery and use of heavy husks.

Reliable Industrial Construction – built for long-term operation in coffee processing plants.


Key Components

The CON Combined Hulling Unit integrates several machines into one processing line:

• Gravity separator (destoner)
• Coffee huller with oscillating screen
• Ventilation column for density separation
• Dust aspiration system
• Vibrating conveyor for repass of unhulled beans
• Feed conveyors and bagging chutes

Together these components create a continuous processing workflow that improves productivity and bean quality.


Processing Workflow

The system processes coffee through several stages:

1️⃣ Dust Removal – removes dust and light impurities through aspiration.

2️⃣ Destoning – gravity separator removes stones, sand, and heavy impurities.

3️⃣ Hulling – the huller removes husks from coffee beans using friction through perforated screens.

4️⃣ Screen Separation – oscillating screen separates hulled beans from defective or unhulled beans.

5️⃣ Ventilation Separation – airflow separates beans according to density.

6️⃣ Repass Cycle – unhulled beans are automatically returned for reprocessing.

This process ensures efficient separation and consistent product quality.


Processing Capacity

Available models and approximate processing capacities:

Model Capacity
CON-4 9 – 10 bags/hour
CON-6 14 – 15 bags/hour
CON-8 19 – 20 bags/hour
CON-12 29 – 30 bags/hour

(Capacity based on 60 kg bags of coffee.)
