Coffee roasting machines are produced with two systems in today’s technology. The first of these systems is called air roasting. The other system is known as the drum coffee roasting machine. Air roasting machines benefit from mixed hot air. The machines we produce as GÜLMAK are offered as drum machines.
Drum coffee roasting machines roast coffee in a heated drum. Mixing paddles inside the heated metal drum help the coffee come into contact with the metal. Meanwhile, the heat transferred to the bean allows the coffee to be roasted. It is important that the coffee beans have good contact with the heat. However, too much heat can also cause loss of aroma. For this reason, the drum is the system that provides the required amount of heat contact.
When using a drum system for roasting, the correct drum capacity is also a huge benefit. Because sufficient roasting will not be possible in a small-sized drum. It will be difficult to roast small amounts of coffee in a drum that is too large. Therefore, when choosing a commercial coffee roasting machine for the business, consideration should be given to the drum capacity.
What are the Capacities of Drum Coffee Roasters?
The drum coffee roasting machines we produce as GÜLMAK are offered in the Nova series. The roasting machines in this series also have a wide range of capacities. For example, the Nova 1 model has a drum capacity starting from 1 kg. In increasing capacities, the Nova 60 model has a capacity of 60 kg. However, many features of the products have a similar structure.
The capacity of the coffee roasting machine affects the efficiency of the machine. Because the hourly production capacity of 1 kg drum capacity and 60 kg drum capacity is different. For example, the Nova 1 coffee roasting machine provides a maximum drum capacity of 1 kg. The product operates within an average roasting time of 12-15 minutes. In this case, it offers a maximum production capacity of 5 kg per hour. These values can be reached up to a production capacity of 240 kg per hour for a product with a capacity of 60 kg.
How to Choose the Right Coffee Roaster Capacity?
GÜLMAK drum coffee roasting machines provide varying production ranges with their capacities. Each product you will examine allows you to roast coffee of the same quality and taste with a different capacity. However, the right machine must be chosen in terms of both production capacity, energy consumption and volume. Machines consume more energy at larger sizes. Moreover, large-sized machines require a large volume in the usage area.
When choosing a coffee roasting machine, operating capacity should first be taken into consideration. Your daily coffee sales or consumption will help make this determination. For example, you may own a cafeteria that sells roasted coffee. This cafeteria can have a daily sales capacity of 20 kg. In this case, you will need a professional coffee roaster for daily freshly roasted coffee.
The most suitable roasting machine should be selected for the daily sales capacity of 20 kg of the example given enterprise. The ideal coffee roasting machine should be able to provide a production capacity of 20 kilograms and above. In other words, even a machine with a drum capacity of only 1 kg may be sufficient for you. Because this product can meet your minimum sales amount with an average of 4 hours of daily production.
The Right Coffee Roaster Drum Capacity Saves Money
Drum capacity is always important for products such as 10 kg coffee roasting machines selected for commercial purposes. Because the correct drum capacity ensures that the device provides the most ideal energy saving. With a drum capacity greater than your need, the device you use consumes more energy. A small capacity machine requires you to do more operations and use more energy.
The best coffee roaster should have the capacity that meets your needs. Moreover, drum capacity has a decisive role in terms of coffee roasting machine prices. Depending on the size, budget and needs of the business, this detail is also important. By choosing the right product, a more beneficial result can be achieved in the business while avoiding excess costs.
