STA Impianti launches RBL 15 for roasting of speciality coffee

STA Impianti, a Bologna company specialized in the designing and manufacturing of coffee roasting plants and machines, has launched the RBL 15 ‒ a technologically advanced unit designed for the roasting of specialty coffee, small production batches or as a lab machine.

Small footprint, big on technology

RBL has been developed in response to the demands of labs and small or medium roasters, as a unit for the roasting of small coffee batches or, alternatively, as a platform for the development of roasting curves to be then replied on machines with a bigger production capacity. For this reason, RBL can be used for the production of ‘pilot’ batches, for testing the optimal conditions for the roasting of different types of coffees, so as to set up the parameters to process medium or large production batches on machines with a bigger production capacity such as the Futura and Millenium series, also produced by STA Impianti. At the same time, the machine is ideal for the processing of ‘Specialty Coffee’, very high-quality products for specific market niches or for ‘micro roasting’, the production of small batches by roasters with small production needs. RBL is designed and assembled with the same reliability and security characteristics claimed by the bigger and more sophisticated roasting machines developed for industrial level production made by STA.

Technology tailored to roaster’s requirements

Flexibility, which is in the DNA of STA plants, is also a distinctive feature of RBL. In addition to effectively supporting the needs of different types of roasters, it’s configurable with a series of assemblies which can expand its potential. Among other things: a meter measuring gas consumption that can offer real time accurate energy performance values, control software for setting optimal parameters and an inverter to control and adjust the speed in the drum rotation and heat extraction stages. Among the roasters who have already chosen RBL are Caffe Morettino, Dicaf and Caffe Griso. The machine provided to this latter roaster is a special version of the RBL 15, configured for the roasting of a wide variety of coffees, including high-quality ones, in a range from 2 to 19 kg. This unit is able to effectively help Griso’s staff in finding the perfect roasting: a process that, given the variable characteristics of the raw product, requires not only a perfectly optimized technology but also great management flexibility.

The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.

A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.

As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.

In an admittedly fragmented and textured terrain, this is the right time to plan your participation and marketing support communication – in our impactful and highly targeted business platform.
