FAQs
1. What does a destoner do in coffee roasting?
A destoner separates foreign materials like stones, metal fragments, or debris from roasted beans using airflow and vibration, ensuring that only clean, pure coffee proceeds to grinding or packaging.
2. Why is a destoner important for roaster safety?
Destoners prevent hard materials from entering grinders or packaging lines, which can cause costly damage or safety hazards. They’re your first line of defense against equipment failure.
3. When should I use a destoner?
Immediately after roasting and cooling your batch. Running beans through a destoner before grinding or packaging ensures your final product is free from any unwanted contaminants.
4. Are destoners necessary for small-batch roasting?
Yes. Even micro-roasters benefit from destoners, as small stones or metal fragments can slip through sorting and still cause significant equipment damage or batch waste.
5. How does a destoner work?
Using airflow and vibration, destoners lift lighter coffee beans while heavier debris like stones settle and are separated automatically, leaving your beans clean and uniform.
6. How do I choose the right destoner for my roastery?
Consider your batch size, roaster capacity, and production flow. A compatible destoner should match your roasting output and integrate easily with your existing setup.
7. Do destoners require much maintenance?
Not much. Most modern destoners feature easy-access panels and minimal moving parts. Routine cleaning and airflow checks keep them running at peak efficiency.
8. Can destoners improve coffee flavor?
Indirectly, yes. By removing contaminants and preventing overhandling or damage, destoners help maintain the integrity and purity of your roast’s flavor profile.
