Probat GO 240

• Commercial coffee roasting operations requiring high throughput.
• Speciality coffee businesses looking to scale their production.
• Coffee processing plants for blending and packaging.
• Large-scale catering suppliers and hotel chains with in-house roasting.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, units typically handle batch sizes around 240 kg of green coffee.

Power supply

Commonly, industrial roasters of this size require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, for motors and controls, in addition to the primary heat source.

Heating method

Units like the Probat GO 240 are often set up to run on gas (natural gas or LPG) for the roasting process.

Footprint

Industrial roasters of this capacity typically require a significant dedicated space, often several square metres, plus room for green coffee storage, roasted coffee cooling, and exhaust systems.

Roasting technology

Probat machines generally utilise drum roasting technology, known for consistent heat transfer and control.

Cooling system

Units of this type commonly include an integrated or separate cooling tray to rapidly cool roasted beans post-roast.

Control system

Older models typically feature manual or semi-automatic controls, while more modern or refurbished units may incorporate advanced PLC-based systems.

• What does 'mechanically sound' typically mean for a used roaster?

  For a used roaster, 'mechanically sound' generally implies that core moving parts like the drum, motor, and drive system are in working order, but other components may require attention. It does not guarantee operational readiness or compliance with current safety standards.

• What kind of refurbishment might a unit like this require?

• What are the typical considerations for installing a large gas-fired roaster?

• Are spare parts readily available for older Probat models?

• What are the typical running costs for a roaster of this capacity?

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.
