​The Coffee Pro Sample Roaster provides​ ​excellent results in roasting small batches of coffee, for research or quality control.

The coffee beans are fed into the feeding spout of the roasting drum.

A small 25 watt induction motor turns the cogs at a constant rate.
(Specify 50 or 60 hz)

The cogwheel  on the drum makes contact when lowered, and disconnects when the drum is raised to expel the roasted beans.

Underneath each drum is either a set of (3) 500 Watt halogen heat lamps, or gas burners, providing the equivalent of 5,500 BTU's per drum.

The cyclone (SINGLE DRUM CYCLONE LEFT) removes chaff from the roasted beans as they are emptied on to the cooling tray, along with exhaust gases, from underneath the drum area, during roasting. It is important to leave the cyclone on during roasting, because the vacuum it creates, affects the temperature settings.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN SELECTING A SAMPLE ROASTER-
COFFEE PRO SAMPLE ROASTERS ARE AVAILABLE WITH GAS OR ELECTRIC, AS A HEAT SOURCE, 

NATURAL GAS OPERATES AT A LOWER PRESSURE THAN PROPANE GAS, AND WILL REQUIRE AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE GAS SUPPLY ORIFICE, IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE CORRECT FLAME. A LICENSED GAS FITTER OR PLUMBER WILL BE ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CORRECT ORIFICE SIZE, BASED ON YOUR DELIVERY PRESSURE, THE BTU OUTPUT (5,500 PER BURNER) AND ALTITUDE. CHECK LOCAL CODES FOR PERMIT RESTRICTIONS, AS WELL AS PROPER VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS.














PROPANE OPERATES AT A HIGHER PRESSURE, AND THE EXHAUST  IS NON TOXIC. HOWEVER, AN EXTERNAL PROPANE TANK MAY BE REQUIRED. CHECK LOCAL AND STATE REGULATIONS.

ELECTRIC HEAT IS PROVIDED USING  500 WATT HALOGEN HEAT LAMPS, READILY AVAILABLE AT A HARDWARE STORE. BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF CURRENT DRAW, THEY REQUIRE 220 VOLT SERVICE.
The heavy steel alloy drums provide even heating, and simulate roasting conditions in large scale roasters.
A damper valve may be used to help regulate the air flow.

Some beans produce more chaff than others, and may collect too quickly at the drum exhaust ports, restricting the exhaust flow, and causing over heating. Care must be taken to provide the right vacuum pressure, so that chaff is removed, but not too strong to interfere with the flame.
KEEP EXHAUST PORTS FREE OF DEBRIS
NATURAL GAS VS PROPANE 
gas nozzles
The gas supply orifices unscrew from the burner.
​They are calibrated at the factory for propane gas.
For natural gas, which operates at a lower pressure, the orifices should be calibrated on site, by a licensed gas fitter/plumber, or contact Coffee Laboratory for replacement orifices. Be sure to have your gas pressure  information handy

EXAMPLE: At 7" WC, and 5,500 BTU, AT SEA LEVEL,
THE DRILL SIZE USED TO CALIBRATE THE ORIFICE WOULD BE A #60
(SMALL DIFFERENCES CAN HAVE BIG RESULTS, SO BE SURE TO HAVE
A LICENSED GAS FITTER CALIBRATE THE BURNER ORIFICES)

CYCLONE CHAFF COLLECTORS

DOUBLE DRUM CYCLONE
THE SINGLE DRUM SAMPLE ROASTER HAS AN INTERNAL FAN, WHICH SHOULD REMOVE MOST OF THE CHAFF THROUGH THE EXHAUST PORT.

FOR THIS REASON, THE MINI CYCLONE IS OPTIONAL FOR THE SINGLE DRUM GAS ROASTER.

"Only one comment! We are extremely happy  
 with our double drum sample roaster!"
 Regards,
 Jose
"We have found the Coffee Pro to be a great sample/lab roaster. We have the twin drum propane unit and have found the samples we have put through the Coffee Pro to be very consistent giving us quite an accurate indication of the quality and characteristics of our samples. We shopped around before deciding on the Coffee Pro. The deciding factors were price/affordability, quality workmanship and simplicity of use. We are extremely happy with our Coffee Pro.

IGNITION SWITCH (RED):
WHEN SWITCHED ON, THE IGNITORS (2 SHORTER PROBES) WILL CHARGE WHEN SENSOR (LONGER PROBE) DETECTS THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE IS LOWER THAN THE TEMPERATURE SET ON THE DIGITAL CONTROLLER.
HOW IT WORKS
AVAILABLE IN GAS OR ELECTRIC 1 TO 6 DRUMS
Built to resemble the larger commercial drum roasting machines, it also makes the ideal roaster to learn the
art of roasting. The solid drum provides the user with an even coffee bean development, and uniform roast.
Control over gas supply and airflow, enables the user to obtain the desired roasting time (8-15 minutes)
ELECTRIC HEAT                                                           GAS HEAT
THREE 500 WATT HALOGEN BULBS, PROVIDE
OVER 5,000 BTU / HR. 

ELECTRIC HEAT MAY BE DESIRABLE WHEN GAS SUPPLY OR EXHAUST PROBLEMS EXIST.
ONCE THE PROBE SENSES THAT THE DRUMS ACTUAL, OR "PROCESS TEMPERATURE" (RED) HAS REACHED THE SET TEMPERATURE (GREEN), A SOLENOID VALVE ENGAGES, AND SHUTS OFF THE GAS SUPPLY,      (HEAT LAMPS FOR ELECTRIC MODELS)
EACH DRUM HAS AN AIR CONTROL VALVE TO REGULATE THE AIR FLOW THROUGH THE DRUM, AS THE CYCLONE PULLS CHAFF AND EXHAUST AWAY FROM THE ROASTING BEANS.
​THE CONTROL KNOB INCREASES THE GAS SUPPLY (OR HEAT INTENSITY FOR HEAT LAMP SYSTEMS )

BETWEEN THE HEAT CONTROL, AND THE AIR FLOW CONTROL, OPTIMIUM CONDITIONS FOR ROASTING COFFEE MAY BE OBTAINED.
