Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

This specific unit is rated at 15kg per batch. For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 5kg to 30kg per batch.

Power supply

Roasters of this size typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage depending on heating elements and motor power.

Heating method

Units in this category commonly utilise gas (LPG or natural gas) for the roasting drum, with electrical components for motors and controls.

Cooling

An integrated cooling tray is standard for rapid bean cooling post-roast, crucial for stopping the roasting process effectively.

Ancillary equipment

A complete line like this typically includes a green bean loader, cyclone for chaff collection, destoner, and an afterburner for emissions control.
