The roaster uses convective heat transfer across the rotating drum rather than directing heat from below. No matter the roasting stage, the vari- able drum speed and the sophisticated inte- rior design of the roasting chamber deliver optimal bean distribution and an efficient interaction of the beans with the air. The roasters are available in two sizes – TT5/10 (5-10 kg batches) and TT15/20 (15-20 kg batches) and feature both manu- al and automated profile controls. Other highlights: - The TT5/10 can produce up to 30 kg per hour. The TT15/20 totals as much as 60 kg per hour. - Both models can operate using gas or electricity. - Modulating burner allows a roast- master to adjust the intensity of the flame throughout the process.
