Christian Reichl
Owner, Garagenrösterei Reichl & Hueber GbR, Bad Abbach (Germany)
“From the first contact to commissioning, everything went very smoothly. The advice, the excellent cooperation and the always very helpful and service-oriented Mrs Stemmler-Benz made the whole thing a breeze. Since the commissioning of our ReiCatino®, neither smoke nor odours have been noticeable during the roasting process. Many thanks for the excellent cooperation.”
Mario Vogel
Owner, BlackBird Coffee, Leinfelden-Echterdingen (Germany)
“We are roasting downtown within a mix of commercial and residential neighbors. With a growing business, we wanted to have less impact on the environment and the neighbors also. After looking on the market, what was the option to reduce odor and fume, we talked to Bianca from ReiCat.We receive awesome customer service and professionalism. Honestly, we had doubts that we can reduce to zero odor and fume. After the first roast, we knew that was the perfect catalyst. We can roast from light to dark roast without odor outside. We are very happy with it.”
Steve Blais
Bean et Bonheur, Saint-jean-sur-richelieu (Canada)
“The Bazzara Lab is located in the heart of the centre of Trieste. Here we roast coffee from all over the world, and yet every person who visits our laboratory is amazed at how there is no smell outside. This is the magic of our ReiCatino® which has also helped us to lower emissions.”
Marco Bazzara
Bazzara S.r.l., Trieste (Italy)
“By purchasing the ReiCatino® it is possible for us to roast at any time and independent of the quantity. Our roastery is located in a residential area and now we don’t have any trouble with the neighbours anymore. The chimney now no longer releases odours.”

“We opened our roastery in the middle of a residential area, within walking distance of the city centre. Thanks to ReiCat we do not produce any smell or smoke when we roast. We have lowered our emissions, and we are happy: for us, for the neighbours, for the environment. During the purchase and installation we were followed, advised and guided. The staff at ReiCat is helpful, friendly and very competent.”

Innovations
COOLING AIR PURIFICATION
Combined cooling air purification for ReiCat Industrial
Especially for industrial coffee roasting plants ReiCat is presently developing a patented purification process for the waste and cooling air.
Combined cooling air purification for Shop Roasters
Within the ReiCatino® line ReiCat developed a cooling and waste air cleaning for shop roasters. By means of intelligent flap switching and air flow guidance, both the waste and the cooling air can be purified from smoke plumes and odours.
EXCLUSIVE COOLING AIR PURIFICATION
An independent – from the roasting waste air separated – cooling air purification can be offered by ReiCat to coffee roasters, who only have troubles with the cooling air.
Electrically operating catalytic air purification systems
In order to protect the environment and reduce fossil fuels in the future, more electrical energy must be used. In the shop roaster sector, this has already been successfully implemented for several years with the electrically powered ReiCatino® line. This is also ReiCat’s goal for industrial coffee roasting systems. Therefore, we’re are developing 100 % electrically powered air purification units.
HEAT RECOVERY
ReiCat is already focusing on climate protection as well as energy and cost savings.
By means of targeted heat recovery, climate-friendly production is ensured, emissions are reduced and energy is saved.

Frequently asked questions:
1. What is a pre-filter?
- The pre-filter assists as an additional safety measure and filters further coffee chaffs that the cyclone does not capture from the waste air. In case of a cyclone failure this ensures the function of the catalyst and keeps it clean.
2. What is the meaning of the numbers behind the term ReiCatino® or KNV (catalytic incineration)?
- ReiCatino® 100 – exhaust air volume max. 100 Nm³/h
- ReiCatino® 450 – exhaust air volume max. 450 Nm³/h
- ReiCatino® 600 – exhaust air volume max. 600 Nm³/h
- ReiCat Gourmet 600 – exhaust air volume max. 600 Nm³/h
- ReiCat Industrial 900 – exhaust air volume max. 900 Nm³/h
- ReiCat Industrial 1200 – exhaust air volume max. 1.200 Nm³/h
- ReiCat Industrial 1600 – exhaust air volume max. 1.600 Nm³/h
- ReiCat Industrial 3200 – exhaust air volume max. 3.200 Nm³/h
- ReiCat Industrial 5000 – exhaust air volume max. 5.000 Nm³/h
- ReiCat Industrial 7500 – exhaust air volume max. 7.500 Nm³/h
3. What is the difference between the ReiCatino® line and the other catalytic air purification solutions?
- The ReiCatino® line, especially designed for shop roasters and adapted to their needs, is electrically operated. The systems for specialty and industrial roasters are gas-operated.
4. From what plant size does an outdoor installation become possible?
- Indoor installation: ReiCatino® line
- Indoor and outdoor installation: ReiCat Gourmet and ReiCat Industrial
5. How does a catalytic air purification system (catalytic incineration system) work?
- The waste air contaminated with organic impurities is led to the catalytic air purification system via pipe and an on-site blower. The waste air is heated to the necessary reaction temperature by means of an electric hot air blower or a gas burner. A thermal reaction at the catalytic converter converts all impurities that are responsible for smoke and odour into harmless substances.
6. What does the maintenance include and how does it work?
- Basically, our catalytic air purification solutions only require little maintenance.
- Both the pre-filter and the honey comb catalyst of the catalytic air purification system can be cleaned with compressed air.
1. Does the exhaust air of the ReiCatino® have to be guided to the outside?
- Yes. With the ReiCatino® line the exhaust air must be led through a chimney.
2. How loud is the ReiCatino® ?
- The ReiCatino® line has a sound pressure level of max. 65 dB. A silencer is included in the scope of delivery, which significantly reduces this emission level.
1. Does the ReiCat Gourmet also meet the legal regulations on the prevention of air pollution of my country?
- With the ReiCat Gourmet ReiCat offers two solutions in one system. With a maximum exhaust air volume of 600 Nm³/h the ReiCat Gourmet ensures both the complete elimination of smoke plumes and odours. If required compliance with the emission reduction specifications explicit to the individual country can be provided by upgrading. In Germany this is regulated by the TA-Luft (Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control) and the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG), among others.
