Key Features

  • Gas heating supports commercial coffee roasting operations.
  • PID temperature control helps operators regulate roasting temperatures.
  • Dual temperature probes provide additional process monitoring.
  • The quartz observation window allows visual checks during roasting.
  • The horizontal sampler allows operators to inspect bean color and roasting progress.

Project Results: Supplying More Than 40 Local Cafés

After installation and commissioning, the customer started roasting its own house blend instead of relying entirely on externally roasted coffee beans. The new coffee production line supports two main product categories:

  • Whole-Bean Coffee: Roasted beans are cooled and packed directly into retail bags.
  • Ground Coffee: Roasted beans pass through the industrial grinder before weighing, filling, and sealing.

The roastery now supplies more than 40 local cafés and sells packaged whole-bean and ground coffee directly from its own premises. By bringing roasting and downstream processing in-house, the customer gained greater control over its production process, roast profiles, and product range.
