Probat BRZ4

• Sample roasting for coffee bean quality control and profiling.
• Small-batch roasting for specialty coffee shops and micro-roasteries.
• Developing new roast profiles for different bean origins.
• Educational purposes in coffee training centres.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, each barrel typically handles 100-200g of green coffee, allowing for simultaneous roasting of multiple samples.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a single-phase 230V, 50Hz electrical connection for controls and motors.

Heating medium

Sample roasters like the BRZ4 are typically gas-fired, commonly using Natural Gas or LPG, for precise temperature control.

Footprint

These units are generally compact, designed for countertop placement or on a dedicated small stand, making them suitable for laboratories or small production areas.

Roast time

Typical roast times for samples range from 8 to 15 minutes, depending on the desired profile and bean characteristics.

Cooling

Units commonly include an integrated cooling tray or system to rapidly cool roasted samples, preventing over-roasting.

• What is a '4 Barrel Sample Roaster'?

  A 4-barrel sample roaster allows for the simultaneous roasting of four separate small batches of coffee beans. This is crucial for comparing different bean origins, processing methods, or roast profiles efficiently.

Used roasters are valued for their durability and cost effectiveness in food processing operations. Buyers typically prioritise even heat distribution, temperature control consistency, and robust construction when selecting secondhand units. Industry sentiment favours roasters from established manufacturers known for reliable performance. Key considerations include maintenance history, heating element condition, and capacity matching operational requirements. Well-maintained roasters often deliver dependable service across coffee roasting, nut processing, and other food applications, making them sound investments for processors seeking to minimise capital expenditure.
