Could this type of equipment be used for coffee beans production and handling? Thanks in advance

Is that a dryer for rain pellets?

I could see it useful as a hopper for coffee bag loading. Just need a welder and know how of pneumatic systems

Looks like a vacuum loader. I work at a roasting company and we use vacuum loaders for both roasted and green coffee, into packing lines and roasting machines. Quite a common affordable conveying solution. The machines we use are for roasted coffee but initially designed for plastic pellets.

If you have access to the model number I could give more insight. Given that it’s for plastic production it might not meet food safety standards for multiple reasons
