Seeking 2-5 k roaster

[blacklisted]

Hello everyone,
any help or info on a small shop roaster would be greatly appreciated. I've read a few threads on recommended small roasters. I'd like any info people have today. Anything I should stay away from? I've been thinking about getting an electric roaster for practical reasons, but I'm open. Especially to any available used roasters.

thank you very much in advance,
b

Hello B,

I have a 5 kg Toper for sale. If you are interested, I can send pics. Price is $9500 shipped in Canada and most of the US. It is set up for natural gas but, can easily turned to propane.

I prefer the gas models as you have immediate temp responses when roasting. One of the main issues with electric elements (IMO), is that they have a slightly delayed response to a reduction/increase in heat during your roasting cycle. Whereas, a flame is almost instant in application. The delayed response is slight but, I find it enough to throw my roasting off.

Well...thats my 2 bits. Let me know if you are interested in the gas roaster.

Regards,

Shaun

Hi B,

I have a red and stainless Toper. This is a 5 kg TKMSX shop roaster. It is set up for natural gas. This roaster has the capacity for 10kg-30kg per hour and has an average roasting time of 10-15 minutes depending on roast level (light to dark roast). Chaff collector is included.

This roaster is only 2 years old and has served us well with the farmers markets but, is being replaced by a 10kg unit that will better keep up with our current volume with the new coffee shop and markets. I am motivated to sell this roaster as I do not have room for 2 roasters in my shop. Pics are available upon request.

Asking $9,500.00 Includes shipping anywhere in Canada and most of the U.S.


My Email is darksideroastery at gmail.com email me and I will send you some pics.

Regards,

Shaun

Hi B,

I forgot to mention that it is a late 2008 and was installed in March of 2009. It has had just over 100 hours of roasting.

Regards,

Shaun
