Probat R1500/1R

• Large-scale commercial coffee roasting operations requiring high throughput.
• Speciality coffee producers aiming for consistent roast profiles and quality.
• Industrial food processing plants handling coffee beans for various products.
• Businesses looking to integrate green bean handling, roasting, and packing into a single workflow.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, batch capacities commonly range from 120kg to 240kg per roast.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a robust three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with significant power draw for heating elements and motors.

Heating method

Probat roasters commonly utilise gas (natural gas or LPG) for the roasting process, often with electric components for controls and auxiliary functions.

Control system

Modern industrial roasters typically feature advanced PLC controls for precise temperature management, roast profiling, and automation.

Ancillary equipment

Complete plants commonly include integrated destoners, afterburners for emissions control, and associated conveying and storage solutions.

Footprint

A complete roasting plant of this scale will require a substantial industrial footprint, including space for green bean storage, roasting area, cooling, roasted bean storage, and packing lines.

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

  Regular maintenance for a used Probat roaster typically involves cleaning of roasting drums and cyclones, inspection of burners and heating elements, lubrication of moving parts, and verification of control system calibration. Afterburners also require periodic cleaning and inspection.

• Can this type of roaster handle different coffee bean varieties?

• Is an afterburner essential for this equipment?

• What are the typical considerations for installation of a complete plant?

• How does a destoner contribute to the roasting process?

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.
