Probat 120Kg

• Commercial coffee roasting operations requiring significant batch processing.
• Speciality food processing for nuts, grains, and other dry goods requiring controlled thermal treatment.
• Large-scale flavour development and ingredient preparation in the food industry.
• Pilot plants for product development in snack foods and breakfast cereals.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, a 120kg roaster typically processes batches of up to 120 kilograms of green coffee or other suitable grains per roast cycle.

Roast time

Roast times commonly range from 12 to 20 minutes, depending on the desired roast profile and product.

Power supply

Units of this size commonly require a three-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, for motors and controls, in addition to the primary heat source.

Heating source

While this unit was adapted for LPG, Probat roasters of this type are commonly configured for natural gas, LPG, or sometimes fuel oil.

Cooling system

Integrated or separate cooling trays are standard for rapidly cooling roasted product, typically using ambient air drawn by a fan.

Footprint

A 120kg roaster typically requires a substantial industrial footprint, including space for the roaster, cooler, destoner, and associated exhaust systems.

Construction material

Roasting drums and critical contact parts are typically constructed from robust cast iron or stainless steel for durability and heat retention.

• What maintenance is typically required for a used Probat 120kg roaster?

  Routine maintenance typically involves cleaning the roasting drum, cyclone, and cooling tray, checking burner components, lubricating moving parts, and inspecting belts and bearings. More extensive servicing may include refractory checks and fan maintenance.

• Can this type of roaster be easily converted between different fuel types?

• What ancillary equipment is usually needed to operate a 120kg roaster?

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

• Is it common for these roasters to be adapted for products other than coffee?

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.
