CRB Continuous Roaster Belt
Roaster/Dryer for nuts and seeds
Built to solve. Designed to deliver.
The Horn CRB Continuous Roaster Belt is expertly engineered to meet a broad spectrum of roasting and drying needs. Trusted by food processors worldwide, it delivers uniform, gentle treatment of peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, and similar products—while also enhancing shelf life through integrated humidification.
Material enters the roasting section from the feed hopper where a stainless steel perforated slat conveyor moves it through each stage of the drying or roasting process. Enhanced heat zone air diffusion ensures uniform heat distribution for consistent product treatment.
An exhaust air temperature sensor continuously monitors product temperature and automatically adjusts burner power or airflow to maintain optimum conditions.
A built-in humidifier allows lower roasting temperatures, reducing acrylamide formation, improving de-bacterization and extending shelf life by minimizing fat oxidation.
Optimized air usage, pressure control and exhaust air recirculation deliver energy savings of up to 50%, while redesigned hopper covers protect against contamination and maintain process integrity during downtime.
