What is an afterburner and why is it important?

An afterburner is an emissions control device that incinerates smoke and volatile organic compounds produced during roasting, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and reducing odours.

What maintenance is typically required for a coffee roaster?

Regular maintenance typically includes cleaning the roasting drum and cooling tray, inspecting gas lines and electrical connections, and checking burner efficiency. Bearing lubrication and belt tension may also require periodic attention.

Can this type of roaster handle different roast profiles?

Yes, gas-fired roasters like this are generally capable of achieving a wide range of roast profiles, from light to dark, through precise control of temperature and airflow.

What utilities are needed to operate a complete roasting line?

A complete line typically requires a reliable gas supply, a suitable three-phase electrical power supply, and an exhaust system for the afterburner. Compressed air may also be required for pneumatic components.

What is the typical lifespan of a well-maintained industrial coffee roaster?

With proper maintenance and refurbishment, industrial coffee roasters can have a very long operational lifespan, often exceeding 20-30 years.
