Tangential coffee roaster for diverse roasting profiles

Achieve unparalleled precision and flexibility in coffee roasting with this solution, ensuring consistent color and moisture content across all roast profiles, from espresso to single-origin gourmet blends.

Processes and Roasts Coffee Beans Efficiently

The JUPITER Tangential Roaster from PROBAT SE revolutionizes coffee processing by allowing complete control over the roasting process to meet diverse market demands. This roaster utilizes a closed and stationary roasting chamber with specially developed rotating shovels that mix and move coffee beans, ensuring uniform heat distribution through convection. Suitable for coffee producers, roasting companies, and specialty coffee roasters, it efficiently processes and roasts a range of coffee types—such as espresso, Italian, and single-origin gourmet blends. The system offers flexible roasting times from 1.5 to 18 minutes and accommodates batch sizes up to 780 kg, depending on the model, with a throughput reaching up to 5,000 kg/h in continuous operations.

Equipped with the PILOT 2020 ROASTER control system, it allows for precise modification of roasting parameters and supports recipe management with flexible definable settings. Energy-efficient features include minimal heat loss and enhanced energy savings through exhaust air recirculation and green-coffee preheating. The machine comes in versions powered by natural gas, propane, or hydrogen, with an option for a retrofitting kit to accommodate alternative energy sources. With advanced safety features, such as online CO monitoring and thermal cleaning, the JUPITER ensures not only optimal performance but also high operational safety and ease of maintenance. Additionally, various customization options and engineering support are available, making it an adaptable solution for managing diverse coffee roasting demands.
