Roasting Equipment
428 Roasters designs and builds fluid-bed coffee roasters as well as a variety of other roasting equipment. Currently we offer two sizes of roasters, a 15 kg (35 lb) and a 35 kg (75 lb). To see some examples of our past work please visit our blog. No matter what roaster we end up building for you, here is a list of innovations and advantages included on every Heis roaster.
- Blower and burner control to allow for complete control over the roasting parameters.
- Inlet-air temperature and bean temperature indicators to provide accurate and consistent roast results.
- Manual or automatic control systems.
- Software that allows you to graph the temperature vs. time of both the bean temperature and the inlet-air temperature.
- Inlet-air velocity indicator that is the most accurate way to get consistent roasts.
- Fully enclosed roast chamber ensuring temperatures within the roaster are consistent.
- A more efficient roast chamber design. Designed specifically to deal with the natural flow conditions that exist within a fluid-bed roaster.
- Dramatically decreased noise from inside of the roaster.
- Stainless steel construction provides increased heat retention and ultimately efficiency.
- There is only one moving part (the blower) so your long-term maintenance costs are lower with our machines.
- Easy to install.
- Easy to learn to roast on.
428 Roasters manufactures other equipment as well, such as destoners, after-burners and green bean hoppers.
