Typical capacity

This unit is specified as a 30kg batch roaster, suitable for processing up to 30 kilograms of green coffee beans per roast cycle.

Power supply

As a gas-fired unit, the primary heat source is typically LPG (bottled gas) or natural gas. Electrical power is commonly required for motors controlling drum rotation, fans, and control systems, often single-phase 230V for this class of equipment.

Heating method

Gas-fired direct or indirect heating, providing precise temperature control for the roasting process.

Cooling system

Units of this type typically include an integrated cooling tray and fan to rapidly cool roasted beans, preventing over-roasting and preserving flavour.

Footprint

For a 30kg roaster, the footprint can vary, but buyers should anticipate dimensions requiring dedicated space, typically around 1.5m x 1m, plus clearance for maintenance and bean handling.

Construction material

Commonly constructed from robust materials such as cast iron and stainless steel for durability and consistent thermal performance.
