• Commercial coffee roasting for cafes, small to medium-sized roasteries, and speciality coffee businesses.
• Batch roasting of various coffee bean types to achieve specific flavour profiles.
• Production of roasted coffee for retail, wholesale, and food service sectors.
• Development of custom roast profiles for different brewing methods.

Typical batch capacity

For this class of equipment, batch capacities commonly range from 15kg to 25kg.

Power supply

Gas-fired roasters typically require a mains gas connection (natural gas or LPG) for the burner and a standard single-phase electrical supply (e.g., 230V, 50Hz) for controls, fans, and motors.

Throughput

Units of this type commonly achieve an hourly output of 60-80kg, depending on batch size and roast duration.

Roasting method

Most commercial roasters in this category utilise a drum roasting method, often with convection and conduction heat transfer.

Cooling system

Typically includes an integrated cooling tray with an agitator and fan to rapidly cool roasted beans.

Construction materials

Commonly constructed from robust materials such as cast iron, stainless steel, and mild steel for durability and heat retention.

• What maintenance is typically required for a gas roaster?

  Routine maintenance commonly includes cleaning the drum, chaff collector, and cooling tray, checking gas lines and connections, and inspecting electrical components. Servicing of burners and fans should be performed periodically by a qualified technician.

• What are the typical space requirements for a 20kg roaster?

• Are spare parts generally available for older models?

• What ventilation is needed for a gas roaster?

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.
