What is the typical lifespan of a commercial coffee roasting plant?

With proper maintenance, commercial roasting equipment from reputable manufacturers like Probat can operate reliably for several decades. Key components are often replaceable or serviceable.

What maintenance is typically required for a plant of this size?

Regular maintenance typically includes cleaning of roasting drums, cyclones, and afterburners, inspection of motors and bearings, and calibration of sensors and control systems. A planned preventative maintenance schedule is essential.

Are spare parts readily available for Probat equipment?

Probat is a leading manufacturer, and spare parts for their equipment are generally available, though lead times may vary for older or specialised components. It is advisable to check with the manufacturer or authorised distributors.

What are the common environmental considerations for a roasting plant?

Emissions control, primarily through afterburners, is a key consideration to comply with air quality regulations. Noise levels from fans and motors should also be assessed, and waste management for chaff needs to be in place.

Can this type of plant be reconfigured or expanded?

Modular components within a plant often allow for some degree of reconfiguration or future expansion, such as adding more silos or integrating different packing lines. This depends on the specific design and available space.

Both roasters feed their chaff into a separate Petroncini Chaff Compactor that compacts the chaff into discs which are disposed off in discharge/waste/recycling bin. All the equipment has individual PLC controls sited at each machine location, with duplicated PLC Controls fed back into a central office location with Roast Profiling software and controls centrally for additional oversight and control, including the controls for the chaff compactor. After the roasting process, the roasted beans for each roaster are fed either into Grinders (NOT FOR SALE) and automatically transferred into relevantly positioned ground coffee silos on mezzanine floors above that then automatically feed into one of the packing machines below. The same applies to whole beans which are transferred after roasting into whole bean silos, positioned above two packing lines for packing.
