Applications & Use Cases

• Commercial coffee roasting operations requiring high throughput.
• Large-scale coffee producers and distributors.
• Speciality coffee businesses expanding their production capacity.
• Food processing facilities handling coffee beans.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of industrial roaster, batch sizes commonly range from 180kg to 300kg, indicating suitability for high-volume production.

Power supply

Industrial coffee roasters of this size typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V or 415V, for heating elements and motor operation.

Heating method

Units of this type commonly utilise gas (natural gas or LPG) or electric heating elements, with gas being prevalent for larger capacities due to efficiency.

Cooling system

An integrated cooling system, often a cooling tray with agitators and a powerful fan, is standard to rapidly cool roasted beans and prevent over-roasting.

Control system

Modern industrial roasters typically feature PLC-based or semi-automatic control systems for precise temperature, airflow, and drum speed management.

Footprint

Due to their substantial capacity, these machines require a significant operational footprint, including space for bean loading, cooling, and exhaust systems.

Material construction

Roasting drums and contact parts are typically constructed from robust materials such as cast iron or stainless steel to ensure durability and food safety.
