Kurdish Coffee (Qazwan) Production Line and Factory Setup

A Kurdish coffee (Qazwan) production line is an integrated industrial system designed to roast and grind the naturally caffeine-free fruits of the Pistacia atlantica tree (Qazwan / Beneh) harvested from the mountains of Kurdistan. The line produces traditional Kurdish coffee with its characteristic oily mouthfeel and pistachio-like notes.

From an industrial perspective, Kurdish coffee processing is important because it combines controlled high-temperature roasting of the unique Qazwan fruits, precise grinding and protective packaging to preserve the distinctive aroma and texture. The process relies on a defined sequence of unit operations that must be correctly engineered and integrated.

Primary raw materials typically include dried Qazwan (Pistacia atlantica) fruits. Core machinery consists of coffee roasters (capacity from 300 g to 15 kg, temperature up to 300 °C), adjustable grinders and packaging machines.

The Industrial Department supports investors establishing a new Kurdish coffee factory as well as existing plant owners requiring repair, overhaul, capacity expansion or automation of current roasting lines. Projects can start from an empty site or from an operating facility that needs technical upgrading.

Whether the goal is a green-field turnkey Kurdish coffee plant in Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan or other regional markets, or the modernization of an existing line in Iran, engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning and ongoing technical support can be provided under defined contractual scopes.

Production Line Overview

The Kurdish coffee production line is engineered as an integrated process system covering roasting of dried Qazwan fruits, grinding and packaging. Design capacity is determined during the engineering phase and can typically range from 300–650 kg/day depending on final product mix and market requirements.

Product types include pure Qazwan coffee and blended variants (with almond, hazelnut, pistachio and musk notes). The overall process flow follows a defined sequence: roasting of dried fruits, grinding to the desired particle size and packaging.

Main machinery groups include coffee roasters (300 g–15 kg capacity, up to 300 °C), adjustable grinders and packaging equipment. Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power, gas and process water.

Manpower requirements depend on the degree of automation. Quality control covers roast level, particle size and packaging integrity. Finished coffee is stored under conditions that protect aroma before distribution.

Technical Specifications

The following technical data represent typical ranges for an industrial Kurdish coffee production line. Final values are defined during basic and detailed engineering and may vary according to selected technology, level of automation, product portfolio and factory layout. For precise project-specific figures, contact the Industrial Department.

All figures are indicative. Detailed utility balances, equipment lists and layout drawings are prepared after process definition and capacity confirmation.

Products

An industrial Kurdish coffee production line can manufacture a variety of finished products depending on the selected roast and blend configuration. Typical product families include:

• Pure Qazwan coffee
• Qazwan with almond notes
• Qazwan with hazelnut notes
• Qazwan with pistachio and musk notes
• Retail and bulk packaging formats

Variant development (roast level, grind size, blend composition, packaging) is defined during product development and process engineering according to target markets.

Raw Materials for Kurdish Coffee Factory

Raw material selection and quality control are critical for final aroma and texture. The main materials used are described below.

Main Raw Materials

• Dried Qazwan fruits (Pistacia atlantica) – Harvested from the mountains of Kurdistan (Zibar, Shiladze, Barzan regions). Naturally caffeine-free. Quality of incoming fruits (moisture, cleanliness) directly influences roast result.

Secondary / Optional Materials

• Packaging materials

Storage and handling conditions (cool, dry, pest-controlled) must be maintained to preserve fruit quality before roasting.

Sahi Rasa Supply Chain Department

Raw-material supply chain support can be examined for industrial projects located in Iran, Iraq, the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (including Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Duhok), Baghdad, Basra, Mosul, Afghanistan (Kabul, Herat, Mazar-e-Sharif), Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Syria, Oman, Jordan, Turkey, Armenia and Georgia.

Manufacturing Process

The industrial Kurdish coffee process follows a defined sequence of unit operations.

1. Roasting – Dried Qazwan fruits are roasted in a dedicated roaster at temperatures up to 300 °C for typically 9–15 minutes to develop the desired color and flavor.
2. Grinding – Roasted fruits are ground to the target particle size with an adjustable grinder.
3. Packaging – Finished Kurdish coffee is packed into retail or bulk containers.

Machinery & Equipment

Each main machine performs a specific function. Support is available for design, manufacturing or procurement, customization, installation, commissioning, repair, overhaul, refurbishment, automation and spare-parts supply according to the agreed project scope.

• Coffee Roaster – Roasts Qazwan fruits under controlled temperature (up to 300 °C) and time. Capacity range typically 300 g to 15 kg. Core machine that defines flavor profile. Position: first process stage. Quality impact: temperature profile and residence time control aroma development. Maintenance: burners, drums, temperature sensors and cooling system. Sahi Rasa support covers design, manufacturing/procurement, installation, repair and spare parts.
• Adjustable Grinder – Grinds roasted fruits to the desired particle size. Position: after roasting. Quality impact: grind size distribution affects extraction and mouthfeel. Maintenance: grinding elements, bearings and screens. Sahi Rasa provides specialized grinder support and overhaul.
• Packaging Machine – Packs finished coffee. Position: end of line. Quality impact: pack integrity and aroma protection. Maintenance: sealing heads and film systems.

Factory Layout & Building Requirements

Typical functional areas include raw-fruit receiving and storage, roasting and grinding hall, packaging, finished-goods warehouse, quality-control laboratory, utility rooms (gas), maintenance workshop, staff facilities and loading docks. Layout must respect hygienic zoning, heat and smoke extraction from the roaster and process flow. Exact area allocation is determined during the engineering phase according to capacity and product range.

Utilities

• Electricity: 380 V three-phase, typically 30–80 kW
• Gas: 50–100 m³/h
• Water: 5–10 m³/day
• Exhaust systems for the roaster
• HVAC and drainage according to hygiene and local regulations
