As a 'Gas Coffee Roaster', this unit utilises gas burners to heat the roasting drum, offering precise temperature control for various roast profiles.

Roasting type

Units of this class typically employ a drum roasting mechanism, where beans are tumbled in a heated rotating drum for even roasting.

Cooling

Most roasters of this capacity include an integrated cooling tray with an agitator and fan to rapidly cool roasted beans, preventing over-roasting.

A 20kg roaster with a cyclone typically requires a dedicated space of approximately 2-3 square metres, including clearance for operation and maintenance.
