Step-by-Step Blow-Line Coffee Transport Installation Process

Installing a pneumatic conveying line is not a standard pack-and-ship job — it is engineering tailored to the venue. Work starts by surveying ceiling height, beam crossings, column layout, and distances to the bar or roaster.

This guide summarizes installation stages for a pneumatic coffee transport line from survey to live testing.

Survey and Route Planning

Survey measures ceiling height, structure, power and compressed-air points, and positions of coffee silos and the roaster. Elbow count and vertical/horizontal distance set blower power and pipe diameter. Unnecessary bends waste energy and increase wear — keep the route as clean as possible.

Installation Stages

1. Silo and diverter placement: Fix storage silos and the divert panel where they least disrupt operations.
2. Pipe hangers: Mount aesthetic clamps along ceiling and wall with laser leveling.
3. Blower and acoustic housing: Place the air unit in an insulated cabinet that keeps noise low.
4. Sensors and automation: Wire level sensors, divert valves, and the touch HMI.
5. Dry and product tests: Prove the line on empty airflow first, then run beans while calibrating rate, speed, and accuracy.

Commissioning and Handover

Live tests cover origin changes, full-silo scenarios, and emergency stop. Operator training and a maintenance checklist are part of handover. Send venue photos or architectural plans to start the survey immediately.
