Automated thermal roasting control system: NestleRecent Research Landscape

Residual chaff ignition and uneven heat distribution during high-volume roasting create fire risks and flavor inconsistency. These innovations integrate mechanical discharge and pneumatic collection to stabilize thermal profiles and eliminate combustible waste.

What technical problems is Nestle addressing in Automated thermal roasting control system?

Inconsistent roast thermal profiles

(17)evidences

Manual or open-loop roasting leads to thermal variability and batch-to-batch flavor inconsistency. Automating control ensures precise adherence to target temperature curves regardless of environmental fluctuations.

Inconsistent thermal energy distribution

(16)evidences

Inconsistent flowering intervals in Rubiaceae species prevent synchronized harvesting and industrial processing. Stabilizing the reproductive timeline ensures predictable yield cycles and resource allocation.

Inconsistent bean thermal profiles

(13)evidences

Uneven heat distribution and residual byproduct accumulation lead to non-uniform roast profiles. Standardizing thermal transfer ensures repeatable flavor profiles and prevents batch contamination.
