Besca Roasters BSC-10

• Small to medium-scale coffee roasting operations for cafes, independent roasteries, or specialty coffee producers.
• Pilot roasting for product development and quality control in larger coffee businesses.
• Educational settings for barista training and coffee science programmes.
• Artisan food production requiring precise thermal processing of nuts, grains, or other dry goods.

Typical capacity

This model designation suggests a batch capacity of approximately 10 kg of green coffee beans.

Power supply

For this class of equipment, a three-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) is commonly required, though smaller units may operate on single-phase.

Heating method

Coffee roasters of this type typically utilise gas (LPG or natural gas) for the primary heat source, with electric elements for ancillary functions.

Cooling system

Units commonly feature an integrated cooling tray and fan system to rapidly cool roasted beans and prevent over-roasting.

Controls

Manual or semi-automatic controls for drum speed, airflow, and burner intensity are typically present, sometimes with digital temperature displays.

Footprint

For a 10kg roaster, a footprint of approximately 1.5m x 1m is common, plus space for exhaust ducting.

Construction materials

Roasters are generally constructed from durable materials such as stainless steel and cast iron for longevity and thermal stability.

• What are the common safety features on a commercial 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.
