RIECKERMANN CONNECTS VICOFA DELEGATES WITH COFFEE PROCESSING EXPERTS

On September 29, 2026, Rieckermann brought together representatives of VICOFA, DEVEX Verfahrenstechnik GmbH and NEUHAUS NEOTEC Maschinen- und Anlagenbau GmbH for a focused exchange on advanced technologies and integrated instant coffee processing solutions.

Exploring integrated instant coffee processing solutions

The program traced the production process from roasted coffee through extraction, evaporation, and drying. NEUHAUS NEOTEC presented developments in roasting and explained how roast profiles and energy consumption can influence downstream performance. DEVEX then outlined the core stages of instant coffee processing, highlighting the efficiency of its extraction technology as a key advantage in maximizing yield, while maintaining a strong focus on aroma preservation, product quality, and energy efficiency.

Connecting technologies through integrated engineering

The visit demonstrated that instant coffee quality depends not only on individual machines, but also on how effectively every process step works as one system. Decisions at each stage can influence consistency, efficiency, and overall production-line performance. This highlights the value of coordinated engineering and project planning, from process design and technology selection through to implementation.

Supporting coffee producers from planning to commissioning

Rieckermann organized the visit as part of their ongoing commitment to connecting customers and industry organizations with specialist technology partners. The exchange also builds on Rieckermann’s regional coffee-industry engagement, including their participation in World of Coffee Bangkok 2026.
