Petroncini T120 Coffee Roasting Line

• Commercial coffee roasting operations requiring high throughput.
• Large-scale production of roasted coffee beans for wholesale or retail.
• Facilities producing both whole bean and ground coffee products.
• Coffee processing plants seeking integrated roasting, blending, and packing solutions.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, a Petroncini T120 roaster typically handles batches in the range of 120-180 kg per roast cycle, with overall line throughput dependent on cooling and packing speeds.

Power supply

Roasting lines of this type commonly require a three-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with specific power consumption varying by component.

Fuel type for roaster

Units like the T120 are commonly configured for natural gas, but can sometimes be adapted for LPG or other fuel sources.

Footprint

An integrated roasting line with silos and packing will require a substantial industrial footprint, typically spanning multiple rooms or a large open-plan area.

Automation level

While the packing machine is semi-automatic, the overall line for this vintage typically features automated transfer, roasting cycle control, and silo management.

Silo capacity

This specific line includes significant roasted bean storage, with capacities commonly found for large-scale operations, such as 12.5 tonnes and 1 tonne for whole beans, and 2 x 1 tonne for ground coffee.

• What maintenance is typically required for a used coffee roasting line of this age?

  Regular maintenance for a used line includes checking and replacing wear parts such as bearings, belts, and seals. Burner and heat exchanger cleaning, along with calibration of control systems, are also common requirements.

• Can this line be adapted for different coffee bean types?

• What are the typical installation requirements for a line of this size?

• Is training usually available for operating such a complex line?

• What are the common considerations for moving a roasting line from Europe to the UK?

Used roasters are valued for their durability and cost effectiveness in food processing operations. Buyers typically prioritise even heat distribution, temperature control consistency, and robust construction when selecting secondhand units. Industry sentiment favours roasters from established manufacturers known for reliable performance. Key considerations include maintenance history, heating element condition, and capacity matching operational requirements. Well-maintained roasters often deliver dependable service across coffee roasting, nut processing, and other food applications, making them sound investments for processors seeking to minimise capital expenditure.
