Gas Powered Catalyst to neutralise smell and smoke and comply with legal regulations
The ReiCat Gourmet provides a compact solution for small and medium sized specialty roasters with the following options:
Option 1: Neutralisation of smoke and odour
Option 2: Compliance with legal regulations for air quality control
The focus here is on the complete conversion of exhaust gases that are harmful to health and the environment into clean and odourless air.
ReiCat has been active in the catalyst industry for over 40 years and therefore has a wealth of experience. Every day, the team of engineers and many others are busy creating new developments that make the catalysts even better.
ReiCat catalysts not only impress with their easy handling and low maintenance requirements, but also because they consume significantly less energy than a conventional afterburner and neutralise smoke and odours.

We support our customers as much as possible in the realisation of the planning. If authorities request special documents or more detailed technical information, the ReiCat team will be happy to take care of this and provide the authorities with everything they need.
The ReiCatino® product line, specially designed for shop roasters and customised to their needs, is electrically powered. In contrast, the systems for speciality and industrial roasters are gas-powered. At the same time, the ReiCat Gourmet and ReiCat Industrial products are used to fulfil the legal emission regulations (e.g. TA-Luft).
A pre-filter serves as an additional safety measure and filters further coffee chaff from the roasting exhaust air that the cyclone does not capture. This ensures the cleanliness and function of the ReiCat catalyst in the event of a cyclone failure.
ReiCat catalysts offer the following advantages over conventional afterburners:
Even with gas-powered catalysts, considerable energy and cost savings can be achieved, as the catalyst requires a much lower operating temperature than an afterburner. This leads to a more efficient utilisation of energy and thus to reduced operating costs for the roasting plants.
The ReiCatino®-line is only suitable for indoor installation. The ReiCat Gourmet and ReiCat Industrial products can be installed indoors and outdoors. In the case of an outdoor installation, the ReiCat team must be informed so that the appropriate insulation can be taken into account.
Commissioning can of course be requested from us and booked in addition.
Within our ReiCatino® product line, the roasting plants can decide for themselves whether they want ReiCat to carry out the commissioning or whether they want to do it themselves. A measurement can also be booked on request. We will be happy to support you by telephone if you wish to carry out commissioning yourself.
Commissioning of our ReiCat Gourmet and ReiCat Industrial systems is always carried out by the ReiCat team. Commissioning is completed with an FID measurement.
Our ReiCat catalysts are generally low-maintenance. Both the pre-filter and the catalyst honeycombs can be cleaned with compressed air. The pre-filter should be serviced regularly: The coffee scales that end up in the pre-filter can be easily removed with a broom. The operating instructions explain exactly how to clean the pre-filter and what needs to be observed. It is important to use the ReiCat catalyst in the same way and to carry out maintenance as described in the operating manual.
The ReiCat Gourmet offers two solutions in one system. With a maximum roasting exhaust air volume of 600 Nm³/h, the ReiCat Gourmet ensures both the neutralisation of smoke and odour plumes and compliance with country-specific emission reduction regulations (with upgrade – on request).
The roasting exhaust air polluted with organic impurities is first passed through a pre-filter. The pre-filter protects the catalyst from the coffee chaff, which the cyclone does not capture.
The exhaust air is then channelled through a pipe and heated to the required reaction temperature using an electric hot air blower or a gas burner. The heated air reaches the catalyst, where smoke and odour are neutralised with the help of a thermal reaction.
