- Batch capacity
- For this class of equipment, batch capacities commonly range from 15kg to 60kg, with the listed unit specified at 30kg per batch.
- Power supply
- Typically, industrial coffee roasters require a three-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) for heating elements and motor operation. Smaller units may use single-phase.
- Heating method
- Units of this type commonly utilise either gas (natural gas or LPG) or electric heating elements to roast the coffee beans.
- Cooling system
- Integrated cooling trays with powerful fans are standard to rapidly cool roasted beans and prevent over-roasting.
- Footprint
- The footprint for a 30kg batch roaster typically requires a dedicated space, often around 1.5m x 2.5m, plus clearance for maintenance and bean loading/unloading.
- Construction material
- Roasters are generally constructed from durable materials such as stainless steel and cast iron for longevity and consistent heat distribution.
- Control system
- Modern units commonly feature digital temperature controls, timers, and sometimes profile-saving capabilities for precise roasting.
