Sovda's Destoner Lift

When Sovda designed its Destoner Lift, we had one thing in mind: roasters. What sort of machine could we create that would save roasters money, create a more accurate and productive workflow, while also giving them added peace of mind?

And so the Destoner Lift was born.

The Destoner Lift is the combination of two machines: A Destoner and Sovda’s conveyance system. So while you’re moving your coffee, you’re effortlessly making sure that every stone or foreign object is removed from your coffee.

Instead of buying two machines, you only need one.

Not only does this save roasters money, but the Destoner Lift eliminates an extra step in the workflow and floor space in their roastery.

“Prior to using the Sovda Destoner Lift we were looking for stones and pulling them out by hand. It's very hard to find all of them as they tend to hide! It's been great using the Destoner Lift.

As well as doing a great job at removing all of the stones, it also conveys the coffee to the Pearl easily and you can visually see when the coffee has finished going through with the sight glass.

Testimonies

We have a button installed on our control panel which—combined with accessing the Pearl functions remotely means that the roaster can stay focused on the current roast while the previous batch is being sorted. Having used a Diedrich Destoner in the past which had the vacuum built in, making it very noisy to be close to, having the vacuum remote from the lift is much quieter. —Paul Stephens, Head Roaster at Rosso Coffee Roasters


For us, the experience with Destoner Lift is very helpful. Beside its best point of lifting up the coffee, it has “discovered” a lot of undesirable defects.

Before having this automatic equipment, we were weighing all the coffee manually, so the lifting was not necessary. Speaking about the destoner, we were looking at the beans while we were doing the process of packaging, so all the control was by human eyes. Now we are still very careful while packaging, but we feel safer. —Antonia Bordeianu, Quality Lab Manager at Origo Coffee

Our Destoner Lift is faster than average Destoners and destones coffee at a speed of 4 to 5kg/per minute and our Lift conveys coffee at 300kg/per hour.

You will not be compromising on accuracy for speed and convenience. With our Destoner Lift, you can be sure that your customers won’t be calling you to tell you that a stone in your coffee broke their grinder.
