A leading green coffee trading company, Caravela, has taken a significant step forward by establishing advanced dry mills in Guatemala and Mexico. These new facilities aim to revolutionize post-harvest processing and enhance quality control measures for coffee production. Positioned near Guatemala City and Oaxaca City, the Trilladora El Jaguar and Trilladora El Águila mills signify a commitment to precision and efficiency in coffee milling. Each mill is equipped with the latest technology capable of processing up to 25 bags of green coffee per hour while ensuring cleaner air through sophisticated dust management systems.

The state-of-the-art machinery at these mills includes advanced destoners that utilize pipe magnets to eliminate foreign materials and optical sorters armed with RGB, UV, and Near Infrared (NIR) cameras. This equipment ensures that only the finest coffee beans are selected for export. Collaborating closely with Cimbria, an industrial processing equipment provider, Caravela has crafted facilities tailored to meet their stringent standards. According to Luz Carime Gomez, Global Supply Chain Leader at Caravela Coffee, this investment empowers the company to maintain complete oversight of the milling process, reduce reprocessing needs, and consistently deliver high-quality coffee to roasters worldwide.

Through these advancements, Caravela demonstrates its dedication to fostering partnerships that benefit both coffee growers and consumers globally. By controlling every aspect of the milling procedure, the company not only guarantees superior product quality but also creates additional value for farmers at the source. Such initiatives reflect Caravela's broader mission to promote sustainability and excellence within the international coffee trade, setting a benchmark for others in the industry to follow.
