Typical batch capacity

For this model, batch capacities commonly range from 20-30kg, suitable for small to medium production.

Heating method

Units of this type are typically gas-heated, offering responsive temperature control.

Roasting mechanism

This class of roaster often employs a rotating drum or 'ball' design for even heat distribution and consistent roasting.

Power supply

While primarily gas-heated, ancillary components such as motors for drum rotation or control systems typically require a standard single-phase or three-phase electrical supply, commonly 230V or 400V in the UK.

Footprint

For a 20-30kg batch roaster, a typical footprint might require approximately 1.5m x 1.5m of floor space, plus clearance for operation and maintenance.

Material construction

Roasting equipment is generally constructed from durable materials such as stainless steel or robust mild steel, with food-grade contact surfaces where applicable.
