At Host Milano in October, IMA Coffee Hub will reveal its new roasting coffee production solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of the coffee industry.
From small-scale operations to international organisations serving multiple markets, roasters of all sizes are prioritising sustainability when planning the future of their businesses. Consumers are calling for products with eco credentials, not just packaging but the whole lifecycle from farm to cup.
Complete coffee production solutions provider IMA Coffee Hub aims to be at the forefront of this sustainable transformation, developing roasting and packaging equipment designed to boost efficiency and digital optimisation without compromising quality.
“Today, quality, sustainability, and traceability are no longer optional – they are foundational pillars of modern coffee production,” says Nicola Panzani, CEO of IMA Petroncini and Commercial Director of IMA Coffee Hub.
“Digitalisation enables data-driven efficiency, while eco-design and sustainable packaging drive long-term value. At IMA Coffee Hub, we support producers of all sizes with flexible, future-ready technologies.”
From 17 to 21 October 2025, IMA Coffee Hub will be showcasing a selection of its sustainable solutions at Host Milano. The biennial tradeshow sees the coffee world come together in Italy to share the latest innovations and ideas.
“From energy-saving roasting to precision grinding and sustainable packaging, every technology on display at Host reflects IMA’s commitment to environmental stewardship, digital transformation, and production excellence,” says Nicola.
The team share some of the highlights that will be on display at their stand this year.
TTR25 EVO
The new TTR25 EVO roaster features a hot-air recirculation system and has been designed to maximise thermal efficiency and minimise energy consumption. Built with insulation materials and strategically channelled airflow for uniform heat distribution, the roaster has been developed to streamline maintenance and deliver a longer lifecycle.
XTREME GRIND
This three-stage industrial coffee grinder was developed by IMA to deliver granulometric productivity and long-term consistency. The modular multistage roller grinder is designed to meet the needs of high-volume coffee producers that prioritise precision and scalability.
CE1
Designed to combine high output with a space-saving footprint, the CE1 is IMA’s latest solution for paper hard-pod packaging. The machine has been engineered to deliver performance and sustainability, with a production capacity of up to 450 pods per minute. With the ability to handle compostable filter paper and sustainable packaging materials, Nicola says the CE1 represents a new standard in eco-friendly, high-speed pod production.
CA3
For coffee companies producing both soft and hard paper-pods, IMA has created the CA3 for high-volume production. The machine can accommodate different pod formats and materials for the outer envelope, enabling a smooth transition in the evolving market.
TWINPRO
Developed in collaboration with IMA Open Lab, TWINPRO is IMA’s all-in-one grinding and packaging system for small-scale capsule production, and research and development projects. The setup enables users to test the optimal product brew, capsule configuration, and material compatibility by offering manual micrometric adjustments of granulometry as well as straightforward changeovers of capsule formats and materials.
IMA End of Line Hub
At Host Milano, attendees will also be able to witness the range of technologies available from IMA’s End of Line Hub. The collection includes systems for manipulation, cartoning, overwrapping, case packing, stretch banding, shrink wrapping, palletising, depalletising, and labelling – all designed to deliver seamless integration of the production process.
IMA Sentinel
Combining real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and AI analytics, this digital platform is designed to elevate coffee production systems. The program processes machine data to deliver actionable insights into increasing efficiency and sustainability.
All these innovations will be on display at IMA Coffee Hub’s booth at Host Milano in Hall 18, with live demonstrations of the TTR25 EVO, XTREME GRIND, CE1, CA3, and TWINPRO machines.
