The IC and FIC™ batch extractors

The batch IC and FIC™ extractors have been developed by GEA

 Niro to supply a unique equipment for production of high quality

coffee extract for further processing in an instant coffee powder 

factory.

This extractor consists of a number of vertical percolator columns

arranged in a battery. Each column – or vessel – is in turn filled

with ground coffee beans, after which water at a predefined

temperature is added. This process is in principle a batch process.

By means of a valve manifold, the columns are inter-connected,

and thereby the extraction process becomes continuous and

counter-current, which gives an excellent quality of coffee extract,

where it is possible to control the yield and quality of the aroma fraction.

The IC extractor has a well known design with the columns (percolators) placed in a straight line for easier 

overview and manual operation by the plant operator. It is possible to divert/split the extract from each

column in an aroma fraction (the first) and a hy-drolysis fraction (the last) before it is passed on to the next

column.

The extraction time is short and it is possible to discharge the wanted amount of the aroma fraction for further 

treatment in an aroma recovery equipment. The utilization (high yield) of the coffee beans can be controlled,

as the extractor is pressurized.

FIC™ (Fast Extraction Mode)

Dry ground coffee beans are pre-wetted and then filled into the column(s). This freshly charged column is

then evacuated for air followed by a soaking with hot fresh water, allowing the high quality first draw to be

extracted with only pure fresh water at the desired temperature.

Two separate extraction water streams at different stages are used to obtain a controlled high quality aroma

fraction, which can be discharged separately from the hydrolysis fraction. In the “FIC™” mode the operation

of the extractor battery is fully automatic. This secures a minimum (short) extraction time and full control of 

the amount and quality of the aroma fraction, as well as solids content (yield) of the hydrolisis fraction. The

extraction is, as in the “IC” mode done under pressure.
