Premium range of roasters for natural coffee, guaranteeing the highest quality standards achievable today with respect to manufacturing, hourly production capacity and operational performance.
Coffee is roasted in a double-walled roasting drum perforated only in the rear section to ensure effective air flow. Roasting capacity of 1,500–4,000 kg coffee per hour.
COFFEETEC range configuration should be customised, as this range tends to be used to produce a specific range of products. The objective is to achieve the highest quality possible in the required product, with the maximum possible returns.
COFFEETEC roasters can operate at half or full nominal load, at the same roasting temperature and producing the same roast profile. To achieve this, the PLC allows unlimited roast profiles that are automatically adjusted so they can be replicated exactly from one cycle to the next.
Heat is mainly transferred by convection, although there is also some conduction. Convection, and short roast times, allows quicker and more homogeneous roasts, and develops larger beans.
The COFFEETEC range has been designed for specialisation: each roaster is customised for the particular coffee to be produced, allowing roast profiles from espresso to instant coffee for maximum returns. Machinery manufactured to the most rigorous standards to meet extremely strict technical requirements and enable large production capacities.
Roast time in COFFEETEC range roasters is 7–15 minutes. Short roast times accentuate acidity in the coffee bean, and longer roasts promote body.
