Description:
The Process has the following steps
Cleaning /Hulling
It is a process of removing sticks, pebbly materials, nails, and
miscellaneous debris that may have become mixed with the coffee
during drying.
Sorting
It is separating defective beans from sound beans on the basis of
color rather than density or size. Color sorting is the trickiest
and perhaps most important of all the steps in sorting and
cleaning. For most high-quality coffees color sorting is done in
the simplest possible way: by hand as Teams of workers pick
discolored and other defective beans from the sound beans.
The beans are then further subjected to a Variety of sorting
which focuses primarily on size, density and color.
Mechanical shakers are used to sort by density and an electric
eye searches for defects; scanning for pits, discolorations,
broken edges and other malformations.
Polishing,
This is done to improve the appearance of green coffee beans and
eliminate a byproduct of roasting called chaff. It is an optional
process in which any silver skin that remains on the beans after
hulling is removed in a polishing machine
Grading
It is the process of categorizing coffee beans by various
criteria such as the size of the bean,
where and at what altitude it grows
how it was prepared and picked, and
how good it tastes (cup quality)
The number of imperfections (broken, under-ripe, or otherwise
defective beans; pebbles; sticks; etc.) per sample.
Bagging and weighing
After cleaning the coffee is weighed and bagged using the
standard Jute Bags in 30-60 kg amount in a clean area ready for
transport.
Storage and warehouse/
