IMA Coffee Petroncini & Esko Australia collaboration return to MICE2025 bringing technology access to local coffee roasters.  

Esko Australia (www.eskoaust.com) has a long history of supplying the best technologies from around the world to local manufacturers.  

IMA Coffee is exceptional in Coffee, a global leader in automation for the coffee industry, particularly known for its advanced roasting systems and coffee production technology. Petroncini with 100+ years of roasting history, is renowned for its high-quality coffee roasting machines.  

For roasters scaling up, we present the IMA Coffee Lab, a revolutionary approach for customers developing their new roastery. It is a high-tech, experimental space designed to help roasters perfect their coffee roasting processes, enhance quality control, and experiment with new roasting profiles before they buy. 

• Roast Profiling: With both Petroncini Traditional Solid Drum Roaster and the energy efficient Modular Drum Roaster integrated in the Coffee Lab, roasters can create, track, and fine-tune their roasting profiles with precision, ensuring each batch meets the desired flavour profile for their future roastery. IMA Coffee Lab utilizes advanced data analytics to monitor and control temperature, airflow, and other key parameters, giving roasters deeper insights into their process and enabling them to improve consistency and quality.  

• Processing Automation; Surrounding the Roasters, the Coffee Lab have integrated Green Bean intake, cleaning and storing – Roasted Bean storage, degassing, blending, grinding plus several packing solutions, for customers to trial their processes. All monitored and controlled from the Control Room for maximum operational efficiency and consistency. 

• Support; Guided throughout the process of acquiring a new Roastery by process experts; including Matteo Barbarossa (IMA Coffee expert & SCA Trainer), and Melbourne based Esko project manager; JJ Wong, we are here to make your ambitions reality.  

Each stage is considered as an integral part of the whole, where innovative technologies and care for the product both play a vital and balanced role. Come and test each step, bring your own coffee and run it through the Coffee Lab from A to Z, exploring each opportunity to enhance the quality of your product and the efficiency of your production. 

To see what makes a Petroncini Traditional Solid Drum roaster Special, come see the Petroncini TT5/10kg Specialty roaster at our booth. Understand the advantages of “soaking” the beans with radiant and conductive heat for even heat transfer and better flavor development.  

Together with Maestro Advantgarde Control software, the TT5/10 Specialty roaster measures Bean Temperature and controls the critical roasting parameters of Air flow, Burner power, Drum rotation to ensure repeatability of every batch. 

For your End-to-End coffee PROCESSING and PACKING needs; from Green Beans to Pods or Bags on a Pallet, Esko can provide the Complete Solution through our consultive process. Come see our packaging capability and projects we have completed with our partners at our booth.
