B270R / B540R
Industrial Coffee Roaster
Built to solve. Designed to deliver.
The Burns B270R and B540R drum roasters combine traditional design with intuitive operation. Thanks to their energy efficiency and great flexibility in developing a wide variety of roast profiles, they are the top choice for roasters with medium-capacity roasting requirements. A maintenance-friendly design, high spare-part availability, and expert customer service help minimize downtime and maximize productivity. These roasting systems are built to scale, delivering consistent performance even as production demands increase, all within a compact footprint.
At the heart of the Burns B270R and B540R lies a horizontally mounted, rotating drum. The coffee beans inside the drum are continuously agitated by precisely angled shovel blades. Heat transfer takes place via convection, with hot air being guided around and through the perforated roasting chamber. This process ensures consistent, reproducible results and outstanding coffee quality, batch after batch.
Next to an exceptional flexibility in creating different roast profiles without compromising quality, the Burns B270R and B540R roasters feature an advanced energy recovery system that recirculates cleaned exhaust air back into the roasting process. This efficient reuse of thermal energy enables energy savings of up to 30%.
