Typical capacity

This unit is specified as a 20kg batch roaster, suitable for producing moderate volumes of roasted coffee.

Power supply

This particular unit operates on Natural Gas for the roasting process. Ancillary components (fans, controls) commonly require a standard single-phase or three-phase electrical supply, typically 230V or 400V.

Heating method

For this class of equipment, gas (natural gas or LPG) is a common heating method, offering responsive temperature control.

Chaff collection

Units of this type commonly include a cyclone separator for efficient chaff collection, which is crucial for safety and roast quality.

Cooling system

Integrated cooling trays with forced air are typically present to rapidly cool roasted beans and prevent over-roasting.

Control system

Manual or semi-automatic controls for drum speed, airflow, and temperature are commonly found on units of this type, allowing for operator input during the roast.

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.
