P 60
Drum Roaster

The compact solution

The drum roaster P 60 is particularly designed for gentle long-term roasting of high-quality gourmet coffees and espresso. Its special shovel mechanism inside the non-perforated, double-wall roasting drum homogenously mixes the product during the roasting process.

The PROBAT-specific air to bean ratio ensures particularly uniform roasting. With roasting times between 10 and 18 minutes, heat is transferred to the coffee beans over a longer period of time, thus guaranteeing a highly intense flavor development. Due to top-quality workmanship, the P 60 stands out for its high functionality, process reliability and long operating life. Its maximum batch size of 60kg makes the P 60 the perfect roasting machine for larger shop roasters as well as for small scale industrial roasting facilities.

The drum roasting process in detail

The heart of PROBAT’s P 60 drum roaster is a horizontally lying roasting drum which is equipped with a rotary drive. Shovel blades circulate the coffee beans during the roasting process. The flame of a burner generates the energy for the roasting air which is guided both through as well as around the roasting drum by means of flaps. As such, heat is applied through conduction via the bean’s contact with the roasting drum as well as through convection via the hot incoming air.

Benefits for your coffee

The roasting times of the P 60 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 P 60 drum roaster offers this and many other benefits:

uniform bean appearance and homogeneous roast through the combined application of heat via convection and conduction
specific design of the roasting drum allows for a gentle mixing of the beans
reliable production from light to extremely dark roast colors
long roasting times with high production outputs
minimal product loss, minimal weight loss
effective and gentle cooling
reduced cycle times by simultaneous roasting and cooling
effective chaff separation by separate, free-standing roasting cyclone
