Industrial drum roaster for gourmet coffee
Achieve consistent gourmet coffee flavor profiles with precise heat transfer and advanced chaff separation, enhancing your roasting process for superior bean quality and reduced waste.

Roasts and Cools Coffee Beans Efficiently
The P60 Drum Roaster from PROBAT is designed for larger shop roasters and small scale industrial roasting facilities, offering precise control and reliability in gourmet coffee and espresso production. This drum roaster employs a unique shovel mechanism within its non-perforated, double-wall drum to ensure homogeneous mixing and uniform roasting through combined heat conduction and convection. With a batch capacity of 35 to 60 kilograms and roasting times between 10 and 18 minutes, the P60 optimizes flavor development for blended espressos and single-origin gourmet coffees.
Equipped with the PILOT 2020 ROASTER control system, the P60 offers both semi-automatic and fully automatic operations, facilitating seamless integration into your plant’s control system. It features a touch-optimized HMI for intuitive parameter adjustments and real-time monitoring, allowing you to recreate specific roasting profiles with precision. The system is web-based, providing access from various devices and operating systems for enhanced flexibility.
Performance-wise, the P60 is engineered to minimize product and weight loss while maintaining high production outputs. It includes separate systems for effective roasting and cooling, as well as a standalone roasting cyclone for efficient chaff separation. The roaster’s design ensures reduced emissions and heat loss, adhering to environmental standards with modular exhaust air treatment options.
Crafted with high-quality materials, the P60 Drum Roaster promises durability and reduced maintenance requirements, backed by PROBAT’s extensive engineering support and customization options to meet specific roasting needs.
