Probat L12

• Small to medium-scale commercial coffee roasting operations.
• Speciality coffee shops and micro-roasteries producing fresh roasted beans.
• Pilot plants for developing new coffee roast profiles and blends.
• Educational institutions for barista training and coffee science courses.

Typical batch capacity

For this class of equipment, batch capacities commonly range from 10kg to 15kg of green coffee beans.

Roasting mechanism

Typically a drum roaster, utilising conductive and convective heat transfer for even bean development.

Heating source

Commonly natural gas or propane (LPG), with kits often available for conversion between fuel types.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a single-phase electrical supply, often 110V or 230V, primarily for controls, motors, and cooling.

Control system

Often features manual controls supplemented by digital bean temperature probes for precise roast monitoring.

Cooling system

Integrated cooling trays are standard, designed to rapidly cool roasted beans to halt the roasting process.

Footprint

For a roaster of this capacity, a typical footprint would require approximately 1.5m x 1m of floor space, plus clearance for operation and maintenance.

• What maintenance is typically required for a used Probat L12?

  Routine maintenance commonly includes cleaning the roasting drum, chaff collector, and cooling tray. Regular inspection of gas lines, burners, and electrical components is also advisable to ensure safe and efficient operation.

• Can this roaster handle different types of coffee beans?

• What are the typical installation requirements?

• Is it possible to upgrade the control system on a used unit?

• What is the expected lifespan of a Probat L12?

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.
