With more than thirty years of specialization in the designing and marketing of coffee processing machines and plants,
STA Impianti also boasts a long experience in upholding sustainability standards. The Bologna based company has always been focused on energy savings and now it has reinvented itself with a portfolio of better performing, technologically advanced and energy-efficient roasting machines.
When less is best
STA Impianti has always been manufacturing machines with combustion chambers
completely made of heat resistant steel. After the latest technology upgrade, the
company has completely removed the ceramic fiber, which was used for the
combustion chamber’s thermal insulation and to protect workers in accordance with
safety regulations. STA decided to implement this new technology after years of
research, as it guarantees excellent results and a never before seen flexibility in the
roasting process. Such an innovative choice allows the company to uphold high
operational security standards and sets the company apart from every competitor that
still uses insulating materials such as cement, firebricks, ceramic fiber or other similar
products which can leave harmful residues. The path STA has chosen allows the
customers to improve the quality of their coffee both from an organoleptic and security perspective.
Certified savings for customers and the environment
Many clients are already employing the new STA solutions, thanks to which they have
considerably improved roasting uniformity and yield, while dramatically lowering the
preheating and roasting times, all of which translates in significant gains in term of
energy, gas and labor needed for the process. Using the latest roasting machines,
clients can achieve global energy savings of between 20% and 25% over the most
common devices on the market. Such data can be constantly verified from electricity,
gas and time meters installed on our roasting machines; this data is then recorded in
the work sheet of the product. Thanks to this technological evolution. the client is able
to obtain a higher quality product, uncontaminated by polluting material residues, as
well as emissions from combustion recirculation, being also capable of tracking useful
metrics in real time in order to calculate processing costs.
Not just hardware
The company’s mechanical innovations are complemented by software innovations,
which allow the full control of all roasting machine’s parameters through
comprehensive customization and the deployment of specific interfaces for plant
management. The software was developed by STA and, together with next-generation
electronic components, allows for the automatic tracking and creation of production
batches, thanks to the machines’ ability to communicate with the business database.
