Typical batch capacity

For this model class, the '30Kg' designation typically refers to a nominal green bean batch capacity of 30 kilograms.

Heating method

Units of this type commonly utilise gas (natural gas or LPG) for the roasting process, offering precise temperature control.

Ancillary equipment

A complete line for this class of roaster often includes a destoner and cyclone, as mentioned, for efficient operation and bean quality.

Controls

Modern used units, particularly from 2006 onwards, typically feature PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) controls for automated and repeatable roasting profiles.

Footprint

The overall footprint for a 30kg roasting line, including destoner and cyclone, typically requires a dedicated area of approximately 10-15 square metres, varying by layout.

Power supply

Electrical components (motors for drum, fans, controls) typically require a 3-phase supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, with a relatively low amperage draw compared to the gas heating.

• Can this roaster handle different types of coffee beans?

• What are the considerations for installation?

• Is training usually available for operating such equipment?

• What is the typical lifespan of a well-maintained industrial coffee roaster?

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.
