ECOLINE-800
Confirmed in stock; uses the DH-6 horizontal pulper (larger cylinder count than the ECOLINE-1000’s DH-3½). Water consumption: 0.2 L/kg cherry. Full spec table not included on their product page; contact distributor for data sheet.
Pre-Classifier UPT-1500 (Penagos)
Upstream accessory for any ECOLINE installation:
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Model | UPT-1500 |
| Capacity | 1000–1200 kg/h |
| Water tank | 500 L |

| Pump | 1 HP |
| Dimensions | 320 cm H × 308 cm L × 205 cm W |

Functions: doses cherry, removes stones (despedregado), floats overripe/light cherry, and elevates cherry directly to the pulper hopper. Prevents equipment damage from stones and ensures only ripe-density cherry enters the ECOLINE unit.
Notes for Procurement
- Both ECOLINE-800 and ECOLINE-1000 are listed “En Stock” — no ordering lead time implied
- Prices shown as $0.00 on the website; quote must be requested directly
- The company has a YouTube channel (Motores y Maquinarias de El Salvador, 19.1K subscribers) with demonstration videos including “Beneficio de café ECOLINE 800 marca PENAGOS El Salvador”
- The Sonsonate branch is the closest to Kaiserblick’s operating region; the Merliot branch handles primary inquiries
- Contact number discrepancy: The number “+503 7319-3772” (found in earlier research) does not appear anywhere on the website. The website shows 2288-1010 (main) and 7398-4781 (Merliot branch). The 7319-3772 may be a WhatsApp/mobile not listed online, or was sourced from Penagos’s own distributor list — verify before use
- ECOLINE-800 vs. ECOLINE-1000 pulper anomaly: The ECOLINE-800 uses the DH-6 (6-cylinder pulper) while the ECOLINE-1000 uses the DH-3½ — counterintuitive if model numbers reflect capacity. Possible explanation: model names may refer to demucilager capacity, not pulper throughput; clarification needed from distributor
- The ECOLINE-1000 product page had a store reference code of “ECOLINE 400” — this is an admin data-entry error; the product is unambiguously described as the ECOLINE-1000
