are there any hazard in cooling process after roasting green beans and storage in the roasted beans silo?

Hi afdlzn,

 

Time & temp for cooling + potential contamination of physical/biological/chemical during handling and storing?

 

I'm not familiar with the coffee process, but this thread and the links within may provide helpful:

Depending on your facility;

• Allergen cross contamination or post production contamination from the silo or other handling equipment.
• Food safe packaging.
• If you pass air over or through the beans to cool them, consider the source of the air and how it may need cleaned.
• Time and temp for cooling is not a significant hazard since coffee is shelf stable.  Roasting temps should be sufficient to remove biological hazards.
• Be more careful if your customer/consumers are commonly using the product for true "cold brew" or cold steeping
• Physical contaminants should be removed before your grinder, don't use moldy green coffee
