Petroncini T180

• Commercial coffee roasting operations requiring batch processing.
• Specialty coffee producers aiming for precise roast profiles.
• Food processing facilities handling nuts, grains, or other dry goods requiring thermal treatment.
• Pilot plants for product development and quality control in the food industry.

Typical capacity

For this model, a capacity of approximately 180 kg per batch is standard.

Heating method

Units of this type commonly employ indirect gas heating, providing consistent and controllable thermal energy.

Ancillary equipment

Typically includes a green bean loader, cyclone for chaff collection, and an integrated destoner for pre-roast preparation.

Power supply

Commonly requires a three-phase electrical supply for motors and controls, alongside a natural gas or LPG connection for the burner.

Footprint

Industrial roasters of this capacity require significant floor space, typically several square metres, plus clearance for maintenance and operation.

Control system

Modern units often feature semi-automatic or fully automatic control systems for temperature, airflow, and roast time.

• What are the benefits of indirect heat roasting?

  Indirect heat roasting provides a cleaner roast profile by preventing direct contact between the beans and combustion gases. This typically results in more uniform heat distribution and reduced risk of scorching.

• Is a destoner essential for a coffee roaster?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used roaster?

• Can this roaster be converted to a different fuel type?

• What installation considerations are important for a roaster of this size?

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.
