- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, batch capacities commonly range from 30kg to 60kg, indicating suitability for commercial production.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical connection for the roaster, cooling tray, and ancillary equipment.
- Heating source
- Coffee roasters in this category commonly utilise gas (LPG, natural gas) or electric heating elements.
- Control system
- Modern roasters often feature integrated control panels with temperature probes and connectivity for roast profiling software.
- Ancillary equipment
- A complete roasting line typically includes a green bean loader, cyclone for chaff collection, and a destoner.
- Cooling system
- An integrated cooling tray is standard for rapidly cooling roasted beans to halt the roasting process.
- Footprint
- The overall footprint for a complete 60kg roasting line, including ancillaries, can vary but generally requires a dedicated area of approximately 15-25 square metres.
