The pre-cleaning machine is the beginning of reprocessing. In this stage, the initial cleaning of the coffee beans is carried out, in which most of the dust, foreign objects, dried cherry pods, small, broken beans, clods, and other impurities are removed. All coffee also passes through a magnetic plate to remove metals.

The destoner is the second stage of reprocessing and is carried out using a machine with a inclined plane, air flow from the bottom upwards and a vibrating motion. In this way, the heaviest particles, such as stones, for example, are removed through the upper part, while the coffee beans go to the bottom. Here, there is also a second magnetic plate to remove metals that were not removed in precleaning.

The third stage of LIV Logística's reprocessing is sorting by size. This is done through the screeners, which are double machines with vibrating movements and a series of screens of different sizes and shapes.

In the fourth step of reprocessing, coffee beans are taken from the screeners to the densimetric tables, which are inclined machines with an upward air flow and vibrating motion. The heaviest beans go to the top and the lightest to the bottom, separating them by density.

The fifth and final step of our reprocessing is sorting by color, or electronic sorting. The colors of unwanted beans are set by the user and the machine automatically sorts them out. Through the optical sensor, the equipment identifies and separates undesirable beans such as: black, white, insect damaged, green, light green and sour.

Shipment in jute bags is common in exports, in which, generally, a 20' container is loaded with 320 bags and a 40' container with 440 bags. The coffee is weighed on 60kg scales, moved using conveyor belts and the stacked inside by hand.

Bulk liner export consists of lining the entire inside of a container with the liner and loading it in bulk with "blowers". With this type of shipment, it is possible to load the equivalent of 360 60kg-bags into a 20' container.

An Alpha bag is packaging that fits 1 ton of coffee. Usually 20 alpha-bags are loaded in a 20' container. This shipment may be loaded with pallets under the bags.

With shipping in bulk, the same as when the coffee is unloaded, the grains are loaded directly onto the vehicle, without any packaging.

In the big-bag shipment modality, the grains are weighed in transport bags and placed in the trucks. The weight and quantity of bags may vary according to the customer's needs.

Coffee is stored in standard big-bags, suitable for storing beans. Each has a capacity of 1500 kilos, and is stable and resistant so that up to 4 big-bags can be stacked. Each big bags has an RFID tag for control and traceability throughout the entire operation.

The blending process is carried out in two stages. In the first, proportional batches are deposited in the silos. In the second, the beans are blended using the elevators. The result of this process is a homogeneous coffee ready to be shipped.

Jute bag marking is carried out according to the customer's instructions. Each jute bags shipment has a specific marking. It is done with a mechanical stamper, using letters, numbers and symbols.

The batch placement process is carried out at the request of our customers and consists of moving all the coffee that will be fumigated to a suitable place, isolated from other coffees. The fumigation itself is done by a third-party company.
