Vittoria

• Small to medium-scale coffee roasting operations.
• Speciality coffee shops looking to roast their own beans.
• Artisanal food producers requiring precise thermal processing.
• Pilot plants for product development in the food industry.

Typical capacity

Units of this class are designed for batch roasting, commonly handling 10-20kg of green coffee per cycle.

Roasting mechanism

Torch roasters typically utilise direct flame heating for efficient heat transfer to the roasting drum.

Power supply

For this type of industrial equipment, a mains gas connection for the burner and 3-phase electrical supply for motors and controls are commonly required.

Cooling system

Integrated cooling trays with forced air are standard to rapidly cool beans post-roast, preventing over-roasting.

Construction materials

Typically constructed from robust materials such as cast iron and stainless steel for durability and food safety compliance.

Controls

Manual or semi-automatic controls for temperature and airflow are commonly found, allowing operator intervention during the roast.

• What maintenance is typically required for a torch roaster?

  Regular cleaning of the roasting drum, cooling tray, and chaff collector is essential. Burner inspection and lubrication of moving parts should also be performed periodically.

• Can this type of roaster handle different types of coffee beans?

• What are the typical space requirements for a roaster of this capacity?

• Is professional installation necessary for a used industrial roaster?

• What are the considerations for ventilation?

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.
