Customer Case Studies

Three documented installations, each on a different material: green coffee in Colombia, maize in Nigeria and post-consumer plastic flakes in Germany. Every page states the customer, the material, the machine configuration and the results as reported by the customer.

How these cases were documented

Each case lists the customer contact, country, material and machine configuration, followed by the results as reported by that customer. JIACUI has not independently audited the figures. Results depend on raw material, moisture, throughput and line layout, so a comparable machine on a different material will not reproduce the same numbers.

Machine details for each material are on the coffee, corn and plastic flake pages. To discuss your own material, use the contact page.
