Industrial Coffee Extraction Equipment: Why High-Pressure Hot Extraction Outperforms Traditional Cold Brew Methods
The global Ready-to-Drink (RTD) coffee market is booming. However, for beverage manufacturers and coffee processing factories,the "Cold Brew craze" has introduced a significant production bottleneck: Inefficiency.While consumers love the smooth taste of cold brew,
the traditional cold soaking method (steeping grounds in tanks for 12-24 hours) is often too slow and costly for mass production.
At Heika Technology, we provide a superior solution for industrial clients: High-Pressure Hot Extraction Equipment. Here is why
upgrading from static soaking tanks to our automated extraction system is the key to scaling your coffee business.
The Limitation of Traditional Cold Brew Manufacturing
In a typical factory setting, producing cold brew coffee involves large sanitary tanks and long wait times.• Time-Consuming: A single batch takes up to 24 hours.
• Low Concentration: Traditional soaking usually yields a liquid with Brix 2-4%. This means you are paying to store and transport mostly water.
• Hygiene Risks: Long exposure in open or semi-open tanks increases the risk of bacterial contamination, requiring strict pasteurization later.
The Heika Extraction Solution: High-Pressure Hot Extraction (95°C)
Our industrial extraction machines utilize a vertical extraction technique combined with high pressure and precise temperature control (≈92–95°C).This “Hot & Fast” method is engineered for efficiency
Time is the most valuable asset in a factory. The Heika system completes a full extraction cycle in just 8-10 minutes.
• Continuous Production: With our automated system, you can run 7-8 batches per hour continuously.
• High Yield: By using high pressure, we extract more soluble solids from the coffee beans than passive soaking ever could.
2. Superior Concentration: Brix 15%
Unlike the watery output of cold soaking, Heika’s hot extraction technology produces a rich, full-bodied coffee concentrate.
• Target Specs: We achieve a 1:2 powder-to-liquid ratio with a Brix level of 10-15% (TDS 8-11.5%).
• Cost Savings: High-concentration liquid significantly reduces logistics and storage costs. It is the perfect base for dilution into RTD beverages
or for spray-drying into instant coffee powder.
3. Richer Aroma Retention
Cold water extraction often misses the volatile aromatic oils that give coffee its "soul." Our 95°C hot extraction captures the full spectrum of
flavor notes—acidity, sweetness, and distinct aromas—creating a premium base for your products.
Versatility: Can This Machine Do Cold Brew?
Yes. While we advocate for the efficiency of hot extraction, the Heika machine is a Dual-Mode System.
Water Temperature: Cold mode supports user‑supplied water across 5–60°C—covering chilled 5–20°C and low‑temp 40–60°C brewing.
our pressurized system reduces the extraction time to approximately 30 minutes per batch—still drastically faster than the industry standard.
Note: Results depend on temperature, grind size, and recipe. The machine selects setpoints on the PLC; inlet water temperature is provided by the user.
Built for the Factory Floor
Heika Technology designs equipment for industrial reliability, not just coffee shops.• Material: Full SUS304 Stainless Steel construction for food safety compliance.
• Easy Maintenance: Features a One-Button Hot Water Cleaning function. The system automatically flushes the extraction chamber and pipelines
with high-temperature water, ensuring hygiene without manual disassembly.
• Control: Integrated Siemens PLC controls temperature, pressure, and flow rate with precision.
• Scalability: Modular design allows you to connect multiple units in parallel to double or triple capacity instantly.
