Maintaining the freshness of coffee is crucial for delivering optimal taste and aroma to consumers. Gaztron Engineering's Nitrogen Generators provide a cost-effective and convenient source of nitrogen gas, ensuring that coffee remains fresh throughout the packaging and storage processes.
Key Applications of Nitrogen Generators in Coffee Handling:
Packaging Coffee with Nitrogen Flush:
Implementing a nitrogen gas flush during the packaging of ground or whole bean coffee pushes residual oxygen out of the package, significantly enhancing preservation. The nitrogen gas pressure within the sealed packaging slows down the loss of carbon dioxide, retaining the coffee's fresh flavors and volatile aromas.
Nitrogen Generators for Bulk Coffee Storage:
Freshly roasted coffee beans can be stored in airtight silos for up to a month if not immediately packaged. By purging these silos with nitrogen gas, oxygen levels can be reduced to 3% or less, maintaining a continuous nitrogen blanket to preserve freshness until the beans are packaged.
Nitrogen Generators for K-Cup and Coffee Pod Filling Machines:
For individually portioned K-cups and coffee pods, nitrogen is introduced during the filling process, effectively reducing oxygen levels to 3% or less. This method enhances the shelf life of coffee pods, providing consumers with fresher options than traditionally packaged coffee.
Nitrogen Infused Coffee:
In addition to packaging, nitrogen generators are used to create nitrogen-infused coffee, or “Nitro Coffee.” This innovative beverage is served cold, providing a less bitter taste and a foamy head, making it a popular choice among consumers. Gaztron’s BrewBlast is specially designed for this application.
