In order to develop the full aroma of a coffee bean in espresso, a sophisticated grinding process is required before the extraction process can begin. Angst+Pfister Sensors and Power provides innovative and cost-effective solutions for coffee grinding motors and grinder adjustment motors.
Eversys is one of the most innovative manufacturers of fully automatic coffee machines and a master in creating “True Espresso with a touch”. The demands on main components inside the machine are correspondingly high. Eversys recently introduced a new machine called “Legacy” which requires very little space to produce a high number of excellent-quality coffee per day. The newly developed grinder is thus also particularly compact. The ceramic grinding disks are driven by a powerful and quiet electric motor, which was jointly developed between Eversys and Angst+Pfister Sensors and Power. Electronic control and monitoring of the machine improve quality and constantly maintain the optimum grinding process. The customer can enter the desired amount of coffee and water, as well as the brewing time, and the grinder is automatically adjusted to achieve the best grinding result. The grinder adjustment is achieved by a stepper motor also provided by Angst+Pfister Sensors and Power.
The coffee grinder motor
End customers wish to produce a maximum number of coffee servings per hour with minimal space requirements. Motor requirements: the motor must be compact and mechanically integrated into the grinding system. Reducing the number of components within the grinder was one of the goals. Solution: the motor bearing also serves as bearing for the grinding unit. The grinder disk fits on the motor shaft, the grinder housing is screwed directly to the motor flange. Compared to machinery industry, the drive can be referred to as “direct drive”. Thanks to the modular structure up to four coffee grinders can be vertically integrated into one coffee machine.

Geleceğin Mühürlenmesi
Geleceğe Hazır İçme Suyu Mühürleri
Sürekli gelişen yönetmelikler ortamında içme suyu endüstrisi, 1 Mart 2025'ten itibaren Almanya'da yasal olarak bağlayıcı hale gelecek olan "içme suyuyla temas eden plastikler ve diğer organik malzemeler için değerlendirme esası" (KTW-BWGL) ile yeni zorluklarla karşı karşıya. Bu değişiklikleri öngören Angst+Pfister, üstün mekanik özellikler sağlarken yarının zorlu standartlarını karşılamak ve aşmak için tasarlanmış yenilikçi bir elastomer olan HITEC® DW EPDM'yi tanıttı.

Automatic adjustment of the grinder disk
The end customer wants to be able to choose a precise amount of coffee and water as well as the brewing time. Due to calibration function, the grinder shall be automatically adjusted to achieve the best grinding result. A cost-optimized, compact, reliable system for adjusting the grinder that is mechanically and electrically easy to integrate had to be developed.
Solution by Eversys together with Angst+Pfister Sensors and Power: a compact, reliable and cost-optimized stepper motor drives a worm wheel which adjusts the distance between the grinding discs. The motor shaft is specially tooled to fit the worm shaft by the customer.

Synergy in collaboration between Eversys and Angst+Pfister Sensors and Power
The Eversys coffee grinder system is a world first and an absolute innovation. During engineering and integration phase, the solution was constantly improved and optimized. In the prototype – for example – the parallelism of the grinding disks was not within the desired tolerance. A constant coffee powder quality could not be guaranteed. By using a bushing on the motor housing, Angst+Pfister Sensors and Power found a solution that maintains the desired parallelism of the two motor bearing plates within the desired tolerance.
