Lilla

• Used by coffee roasteries for quality control and new bean profiling.
• Essential for coffee traders and importers to assess green bean samples.
• Utilised in coffee research and development for experimentation with roast profiles.
• Suitable for small-batch artisanal coffee production and recipe development.

Typical capacity

For a 3-barrel sample roaster, each barrel typically handles between 50g to 200g of green coffee per roast.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, power requirements typically range from 230V single-phase to 400V three-phase, depending on heating element size and motor configuration.

Heating method

Most Lilla sample roasters utilise electric heating elements, though some older or specialised units may be gas-fired.

Drum material

Roasting drums are typically constructed from stainless steel or cast iron for even heat distribution and durability.

Cooling method

Units of this class commonly include an integrated cooling tray with an agitator and fan to rapidly cool roasted samples.

Controls

Typically features manual controls for drum speed, fan speed, and heat, with some units offering digital temperature displays.

• What is the typical footprint of a Lilla sample roaster?

  For a 3-barrel unit, the footprint is generally compact, typically requiring a benchtop space of around 60cm x 40cm, plus clearance for exhaust.

• Are spare parts readily available for Lilla sample roasters?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of roaster?

• Can this roaster be used for production?

• What exhaust requirements does a sample roaster have?

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.
