- 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.
