Typical capacity

This class of equipment is designed for batch processing, with this specific unit having a stated 200kg capacity per batch.

Power supply

Industrial roasting lines commonly require a three-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with specific amperage requirements varying by motor size and heating elements.

Heating method

Barth roasters of this vintage typically utilise indirect gas heating, though electric variants may exist.

Footprint

A complete roasting line, including hullers and sieves, will require a significant industrial floor space; buyers should request detailed layout drawings.

Materials of construction
