Advantages

Maximum Product quality

The roasting bowl's rotational movement ensures an even distribution of coffee beans and a uniform bean pattern.
Maximum Product Flexibility

The coffee beans are moved exclusively by centrifugal force, which ensures particularly gentle mixing of the roasting material and allows maximum flexibility in the selection of coffee products to be roasted.
Maximum Reproducibility

Precise control of the air volume flow and supply air temperature enables controlled energy input and guarantees consistent roasting results.
Maximum Energy Efficiency

The integrated partial recirculation system uses excess energy from the process exhaust air to ensure an energy-efficient roasting process, reducing energy consumption by up to 30% compared to a machine without partial recirculation.

Built to solve. Designed to deliver.

The SATURN series is renowned for its gentle, unique bean agitation and exceptionally uniform roasting. Designed for precision and control, these roasters offer a wide variety of customization options that influence aroma, density and extraction, delivering outstanding results, especially within the optimal roasting time range of 5 to 10 minutes.

At the heart of the SATURN series lies a specially designed rotating roasting tray developed by PROBAT for centrifugal roasting. This tray uses centrifugal force to distribute coffee beans evenly across its surface. As the beans move towards the centre, they enter a targeted stream of hot air, ensuring uniform convective heat transfer throughout the batch.
Vertical rotation combined with an outer lamella ring ensures gentle yet thorough mixing, preserving bean integrity while achieving highly consistent roast quality.
