Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

15 kg per batch, suitable for small to medium production volumes.

Heating method

Indirect gas heating with a hot air chamber is common for precise temperature control and consistent roasting.

Power supply

Typically requires a gas connection (natural gas or LPG) and a standard industrial electrical supply (e.g., 3-phase 400V in Europe) for controls and motors.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, a footprint of approximately 1.5m x 2.5m is common, plus space for ventilation and bean handling.

Cooling system

Units of this type commonly include an integrated cooling tray and fan to rapidly cool roasted beans.

Control system

Typically features manual or semi-automatic controls for drum speed, airflow, and temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are the benefits of indirect gas heating?

  Indirect gas heating, often with a hot air chamber, provides a cleaner roast by preventing direct flame contact with the beans, leading to more consistent heat distribution and reduced risk of scorching.
