You decide what makes the cut
Pearl Mini scans every bean with dual 4K cameras — over 500 inspections per second — and rejects only what's truly defective. Most of our roasters see a 2% rejection rate, not 20%. You keep more good coffee and remove what would have slipped through.
Color options
Speed
250 kg/h roasted, 500 kg/h green. Built for roasters running 15–70kg machines — with room to grow.
Precision
Calibrated at your roastery, not a factory floor. That's why most SOVDA roasters reject 1-2% of their coffee, not 20%.
Designed for Roasters
You set the threshold. Pearl Mini executes it — consistently, across every batch.
99.95%
Two 4K cameras inspect every single bean. What gets through is what you chose to keep.
Scalable Speed
Start at your current volume. The machine won't hold you back when you scale.
Unbeatable Sourcing
Buy the coffees other roasters have to pass on — naturals, experimentals, riskier lots. Pearl Mini has your back.

High Tech
Two high-speed cameras, 500+ inspections per second. Every bean, every side, every time.

"I was just drinking a pink bourbon from Fuente and thinking that we are so very happy with the Pearl Mini. I absolutely love what it does to our coffee. Everything is just so much better now!"

One Line. Every Step.
Sort. Lift. Blend. Pack.
SOVDA equipment is designed to connect — not just coexist. When each step feeds the next, your roastery runs cleaner, faster, and more consistently.
Why a connected SOVDA line matters:
- No bottlenecks — each machine feeds the next
- Same standard across every step, same consistency in every bag
- Less manual handling, safer workflows
- Smaller footprint when systems are designed to fit together
- Add machines when you're ready — the line grows with you

Your Pearl Mini questions, answered
Does the Pearl Mini Color Sorter replace a Destoner?
No. Pearl Mini is optical — it catches visual defects like quakers, burnt beans, and light patio stones. A density-based destoner catches heavy stones. They work best together, which is why we offer the Destoner Lift as a paired setup.
