PA-LAV 5 TON/HR Coffee Mechanical Washer & Separator

Description

PA-LAV Coffee Mechanical Washer & Separator | 5 TON/HR Capacity

Upgrade your wet mill with industrial efficiency. The PA-LAV Coffee Mechanical Washer & Separator processes up to 5 tons of coffee cherries per hour, delivering high-capacity washing, cleaning, and critical density-based separation in a single, robust machine. Designed for washing stations and cooperatives, it removes leaves, stems, soil, and stones while expertly separating dense, ripe “sinker” cherries from dry, unripe “floaters”—maximizing quality and yield from the moment of harvest.

Core Function: How It Works

The PA-LAV simplifies the most labor-intensive stage of processing:

1. Pre-Cleaning (Optional): An initial spout removes large and small debris.

2. Washing & Flotation Separation: Cherries enter a water channel where dense, ripe cherries (sinkers) sink for pulping, while lightweight floaters (dry/defective beans) and heavy impurities (stones) are diverted and discharged.

3. Efficient Water Management: Vibrating drainage spouts minimize water consumption—a crucial feature for sustainable processing.

Key Benefits for Your Business

• High-Volume Processing: Handles up to 5 TON/HR, scaling your operation efficiently.

• Superior Cherry Sorting: Separates floaters from sinkers by density, ensuring only ripe cherries move to pulping for better cup quality.

• Significant Water Savings: Modern water flow and drainage systems drastically reduce consumption.

• Impurity Removal: Effectively eliminates leaves, stems, soil, stones, and other field debris.

• Operational Flexibility: Can be powered by an electric motor or tractor PTO, and includes an optional shaker (PA-ABA/B) for superior leaf removal in mechanically harvested lots.

• Easy Integration: Designed for straightforward installation and operation with minimal training.

Who Should Invest in the PA-LAV?

• Coffee Cooperatives & Washing Stations in East Africa and other major producing regions.

• Growing Processors needing to upgrade from manual methods to consistent, high-volume output.

• Quality-Focused Producers targeting specialty markets, where defect removal and uniform ripeness are essential.

• Farms Using Mechanical Harvesters (with the optional shaker attachment for optimal cleaning).

The First Step to Higher Quality & Value

The PA-LAV is more than a washer—it’s the foundation of quality control. By automating the removal of defects and sorting by density at the very start of processing, it ensures a cleaner, more uniform product, protects your equipment downstream, and directly enhances the value of your final parchment.
