With an exhibition space of over 1200 square metres, Buhler will feature the latest innovations in cocoa, chocolate mass, chocolate moulding, nuts, coffee, grain milling, breakfast cereals and sorting. This will include new coffee roasting technology, which won’t be revealed until the first day of the event, that will “mark the entry into a new age of coffee processing”, the company said in a statement.
The company hinted that the technology will present a new process innovation for the roasting industry. In the coffee realm, the company will also be showing its RoastMaster 60 air recycling drum roasting system for capacities up to 240 kilograms per hour. In coffee grinding, Buhler will demonstrate how its equipment can achieve precise particle size distribution and bulk density, with the latest generation GrindDefine grinder series. The company has been working to develop a particular expertise in capsules and single-portion coffee products. A highlight of Buhler's site will be the WinCos automation solution for food processors. The technology is a single point of contact for “bean-to-bar” production

In the area of cocoa processing, Bühler will introduce its latest development in cocoa roasting, the Barth-Tornado RSX.
