Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, roasters like the TKMSX-3 typically handle batch sizes of 3kg, suitable for small to medium production needs.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a standard single-phase electrical supply, often 13 amp, to power fans and controls, alongside a gas supply for heating.

Heating method

This model utilises gas (e.g., propane) for heating, which is common for achieving precise temperature control during roasting.
