Lukas Kubiny, a fellow FZ94 user sent me a few pictures of his brand new FZ94.
It has a few details that are different to mine from spring of last year 2016. The air inlets that are on the lower left and right side on the front of my machine are now on the sides and also there is a new part on top of the chaff collector:
The new part closer up:

We're wondering what the aluminum part on top of the chaff collector is for exactly. It's called a 'suppressor' and if I look up the current PDF version of the manual on the CoffeeTech website I think it might be an additional trap box type chaff collector for the cooling:
Lukas reports that he observes smoke leaking from it, but in my view this may also be due to low airspeed and/or beans that produce much chaff, or chaff buildup from previous roasts being overheated and glowing / smoldering inside the collector.
Will update post here if and when I learn more. Thanks Lukas for contacting me!
