Summary

The present invention refers to an equipment for obtaining parchment coffee from cherry coffee, without the need to ferment the mucilage and with reduced water consumption and water pollution control, characterized in that it comprises the following interconnected elements: a support structure; a pulper, which receives the cherry coffee to pulp it and transform it into slurry coffee; said pulper is driven by means of a power and motion transmission system; A conduit that transfers the coffee in slime to an upward flow demucilaginator in whose interior the coffee in slime is demucilaginated, washed and cleaned and in the upper part washed parchment coffee is discharged ready for drying; and a screw conveyor to transport and simultaneously mix the pulp and mucilage by-products and convert them into a single mass.
