Coffee roasters are used to develop a chemical change by heating and preparing coffee beans for consumption. During this process, coffee roasting creates unwanted byproducts from beans and natural gas combustion. Coffee roasting is generally made up of numerous steps that require dust collection.

Why Coffee Roasting Requires Ducting
During the roasting procedure, beans are heated up to 260 °C (500 °F) and transform from bright green to pale yellow as they dry into darker stages of brown and even black (depending on your roast profile). The heating method used to roast coffee beans produces dust and chaff from the skin of the beans, as well as CO₂, steam, vaporized oils, and other gas emissions that must be vented.
Once roasting is complete, beans enter a cooling process where they are stirred and blasted with chilled air. In this step, dust extraction is utilized to remove chaff and other particulates. Occasionally, a batch of beans may be misted with water to expedite cooling—this carries away smoke, odor, and steam, requiring venting as well.
The final stage in the coffee roasting process is destoning, which separates any waste that was not previously removed. The most important pollutant to collect during this step is chaff.
