- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 100 kg/hr to several hundred kg/hr, depending on the roasting method and unit size.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying power consumption based on heating element type and motor sizes.
- Heating method
- Peanut roasters commonly use gas (LPG or natural gas) or electric heating elements to achieve the required roasting temperatures.
- Roasting mechanism
- This equipment typically employs a rotary drum or continuous belt system to ensure even roasting of the peanuts.
- Material construction
- Components in contact with food are generally constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.
- Temperature control
- Units commonly feature PID controllers or similar systems for precise temperature management during the roasting process.
- Cooling system
- Many roasters include an integrated or separate cooling section to rapidly cool roasted peanuts and prevent over-roasting.
