TTR25 EVO – Hot-Air Recirculation Roaster with Eco-Design Principles
A highlight of IMA’s roasting innovations, the new TTR25 EVO features a hot-air recirculation system and an eco-design approach that maximises thermal efficiency and minimises energy consumption. Developed with durable, recyclable materials and a modular structure, the TTR25 EVO ensures streamlined maintenance and a longer lifecycle.
Thermodynamic optimisation is central to the TTR25 EVO’s design: advanced insulation materials and strategically channelled airflow ensure uniform heat distribution, resulting in consistent roasting profiles and product quality. By minimising heat loss and optimising combustion efficiency, the TTR25 EVO achieves substantial energy savings and a reduction in CO₂ emissions.
Additionally, the roaster is equipped with integrated sensors and digital control systems, enabling precise monitoring of roasting parameters and facilitating data-driven process optimisation. This connectivity supports producers in implementing quality control protocols and traceability measures crucial for modern sustainable coffee production.
Enhanced insulation and optimised heat flows allow for significant energy savings during the roasting cycle, without compromising final product quality. This makes the TTR25 EVO ideal for roasteries looking to align with circular economy goals and reduce their carbon footprint.
XTREME GRIND – Modular Multistage Roll Grinder for Consistent Quality
IMA’s XTREME GRIND is a three-stage modular industrial coffee grinder developed to ensure granulometric precision, productivity, and long-term consistency.
IMA’s XTREME GRIND represents the latest advancement in industrial coffee grinding technology, designed to meet the demanding needs of high-volume coffee producers who prioritize both precision and scalability. This modular multistage roller grinder enables an unprecedented level of control over particle size distribution, critical for ensuring consistent flavour extraction and product uniformity across batches.
The grinder features three grinding stages, each optimised to reduce fines and maintain uniform particle size, significantly enhancing the stability of the coffee's flavour profile.
With advanced automation, servo-motor control, and recipe-based settings, XTREME GRIND supports high-capacity grinding with full flexibility and repeatability. Its modular design, integrated with an intuitive user interface, facilitates easy configuration and maintenance, while precise control of particle size ensures optimal extraction across different brewing methods.
XTREME GRIND delivers premium quality with high operational efficiency, becoming a benchmark in industrial coffee grinding.
CE1 – Compact, High-Speed Paper Pod Packaging with Unmatched Precision
Designed to combine high output with a minimal footprint, the CE1 is IMA Coffee’s newest solution for paper hard pod packaging, engineered to deliver both performance and sustainability. With a production capacity of up to 450 pods per minute, the CE1 stands out for its remarkable speed, extremely compact design, and mechanical reliability, making it ideal for fast-paced, space-constrained production environments.
Its servo-driven dosing unit ensures accurate and repeatable filling, while the rotating cutting system guarantees clean, consistent pod profiles, optimising sealing and aesthetic quality. Special attention has been given to the compaction phase, enabling the production of pods with high density and uniform shape, which is essential for optimal extraction and packaging stability.
Fully compatible with compostable filter paper and sustainable packaging materials, the CE1 represents a new standard in eco-friendly, high-speed pod production — combining efficiency, precision, and reduced environmental impact.
The CE1 will be available for virtual viewing throughout the exhibition in line with CPVU, the new IMA’s advanced vertical case packer, developed to meet the coffee industry’s most demanding end-of-line requirement, for a complete turnkey pod packaging line.
CA3 – Flagship Pod Packaging for Soft and Hard Pods
Also on display, the CA3 represents the pinnacle of IMA Coffee’s technology for soft and hard paper pods. Designed for high-volume production, CA3 combines flexibility and performance with advanced process control, ensuring the highest standards in soft and hard pod packaging.
The machine accommodates different pod formats and sustainable materials for the outer envelope, enabling top performance across evolving market demands.
TWINPRO – all-in-one grinding and packaging system for R&D purposes and small-scale capsule production
IMA Coffee Hub will also present TWINPRO, the unique system that integrates the IMA’s know-how for grinding and packaging processes for small productions capacities, leading to no less than a tailor-made solution for small coffee capsule producers. TWINPRO allows for manual micrometric adjustment of the granulometry and quick changeovers of capsule formats and materials, enabling the testing of the optimal product brew, capsule configuration and material compatibility.
Developed in collaboration with the IMA Open Lab – the Group’s network of technological laboratories and testing areas dedicated to sustainable innovation – TWINPRO is the ideal tool for laboratories and R&D centres developing eco-compatible capsule systems, supporting the transition toward compostable and recyclable alternatives.
At IMA OPENLab corner at HOSTMilano, customers and partners will have the chance to start new projects and explore innovative solutions for sustainable coffee processing and packaging. Join us at HOSTMilano and discover how OPENLab turns ideas into reality.
