Your Pearl Mini questions, answered

What do I pay?

From $38,950. A full line with a SOVDA Lift and destoner costs more. Setup, training and a 1-year warranty are included. You get your exact price on your call.

Does it replace a destoner?

No. Pearl Mini sorts by color. A destoner sorts by weight and catches heavy stones. They work best together, so we offer SOVDA Lift with a destoner.

What can it take out?

Quakers, burnt beans and light stones. On green coffee, also insect and water damage, sours and blacks. You set what stays and what goes.

How fast is it?

It keeps up with roasters up to 70 kg (154 lb), so you won't need a new sorter as you grow.

Who on my team can run it?

Anyone. We train your team at your roastery: building recipes, using Intelligent Mode, tuning by hand and cleaning.

What power and air does it need?

120 V in North America, with a transformer included. 220 V, single phase, everywhere else. Plus a shop compressor with a dryer and filter: at least 170 L/min at 0.5 MPa (6 CFM). We check this with you before it ships.

When does it get here?

Up to 150 days, often much faster, because we keep machines in stock. You get a firm date and the exact shipping cost on your call.

What if it breaks?

We fix it. Every Pearl Mini has a 1-year warranty, and you talk straight to our team.
