TKM-SX 500
THE DRUM ROASTING PROCESS IN DETAIL
The heart of TOPER’s drum roasters is a horizontal roasting drum which is equipped with curved blades that will mix and circulate the coffee beans during the roasting process. Two options of heating are offered with our industrial roasters:
- Thermal transfer heating (flames under the drum)
- Hot Air / Convection heating via pulled heat coming from a combustion chamber under the drum
BENEFITS FOR YOUR COFFEE AND OPERATION
The roasting times of our drum roaster lie between 10 and 18 minutes. As heat is applied to the coffee beans over a longer period, a particularly high level of flavor is developed. The TKM SX drum roaster offers this and many other benefits:
- Automation
- Fully loaded roasters
- uniform bean colour and homogeneous roast through either application of heat via convection or thermal transfer
- specific design of the roasting drum allows for a gentle mixing of the beans
- reliable roast profiles from light to extremely dark roast colors
- long roasting times with high production outputs
- minimal product loss, minimal weight loss
- quick, effective and gentle cooling
- reduced cycles by simultaneous roasting and cooling
- effective chaff separation by separate, free-standing roasting cyclone
