Barth Menado 240

• Commercial coffee roasting operations requiring batch processing.
• Speciality coffee producers looking to control roast profiles in-house.
• Food processing facilities expanding into coffee production.
• Large-scale cafes and coffee shop chains with central roasting facilities.

Typical batch capacity

For this class of equipment, batch capacities commonly range from 120kg to 240kg per roast.

Roasting method

Units of this type typically utilise drum roasting technology, often with hot air convection.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage depending on heating elements and motor sizes.

Heating source

Often gas-fired (natural gas or LPG) for the roasting process, with electrical components for controls and motors.

Ancillary equipment

As described, this line includes a green bean loader, cyclone for chaff separation, and a destoner, which are standard for a complete roasting setup.

Control system

Typically features semi-automatic or manual controls for temperature, airflow, and drum speed, with some modern units offering programmable roast profiles.

Footprint

A complete roasting line of this capacity will require a substantial industrial footprint, including space for the roaster, cooling tray, cyclone, destoner, and bean storage.

• What is included in a 'Coffee Roasting Line'?

  A complete line typically includes the roaster itself, a cooling tray, a destoner to remove foreign objects from roasted beans, and a cyclone for chaff collection. This specific listing confirms these key components.

• What kind of maintenance does a roaster like this require?

• Can this roaster handle different types of coffee beans?

• What are the typical installation requirements?

• How important is the destoner?

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.
