MPE Innovations

MPE incorporates state-of-the-art universal features and coffee grinding technologies to manufacture the most modern, innovative and highest quality coffee grinding equipment. 

MPE’s unique universal features and coffee grinding technologies include:

Coffee Grinding Technologies

Ultrafine/Turkish

Super Homogenizer

Conditions and modifies the ground coffee to the optimal shape, texture and soft mouth-feel associated with high-quality Ultrafine-style coffee.

“Ultra Hard” NASA Roll Surface Coating

Provides up to 5X standard roll life and near diamond surface hardness for exceptional wear-resistance and long-term grind performance.

Grinding Technology

Incorporates state-of-the-art technologies and unique features to produce an ultra-cool, optimally-textured Ultrafine (50 – 125 um) product at continuous, long-term capacities.

Soluble

UPD (Ultra Particle Distribution)

Incorporates unique roll cuts and grinding equipment configurations to produce a final ground product with an ultra narrow particle distribution (1 – 3 mm size) and reduced “fines” for improved extraction performance and minimal filter restriction.

Espresso

Bi-Modal Coffee Grinding Technology

Creates the essential dual-grind required to balance optimal extraction and necessary packing density. The operator selects the desired particle size (ex: 280 um) as well as the desired amount and size of fine particles (ex: 15% @ 30 um).

Universal Features

Density Control Featuring MPE III Sigma Reliadens

http://iiisigma.com/
The Reliadens is an on-line density measurement system that automatically, and continuously, captures samples, calculates freefall density and provides feedback for density control of roasted whole beans and ground coffee products.

Benefits:

  • Improves density control
  • Tracks process history and trends
  • Reduces process variation and eliminates waste
  • Twice the accuracy of human sampling

Specifications:

  • Adjustable sample rate (1 sample/minute possible)
  • Accurate freefall density
  • Feedback via 4-20 mA signal or Ethernet

Applications:

  • Food
  • Coffee
  • Candy
  • Cereal
  • Snack foods
  • Pet food
  • Creamer
  • Detergent
  • Catalyst
  • Resin
  • Fertilizer

  • “RT” (Real Time) Process Control System –
    MPE’s “RT” (Real Time) Process Control System retrofits its state-of-the-art Granulizer design with the MPE Reliadens and in-line particle size analyzer to instantly process the ground coffee bulk density and particle size as it exits the coffee grinder and adjusts the grinder automatically if density or size exceeds user-defined limits.

Gas-Tight Construction

For aroma and gas reclaim.

Precision Tolerance Control & Roll Surface Corrugation

Provides grind uniformity and extraction control for a consistent, on-target, optimal grind size distribution and extraction ratio.

Water-Cooling

Eliminates heat generation in the grinding and normalizing process, thereby preserving coffee’s volatile oils and aroma and preventing a “second roast” during grinding.
