💵 For Sale Probat L-12 Coffee Roaster

[josephz]

1994 Probat L-12 Coffee Roaster for sale. Rebuilt in 2007 by the late Victor Allen Mondry. It has a high performance bean thermometer for precise roasting. This legendary machine can roast 60-90 pounds of green coffee an hour and is perfect for someone who wants to get started as a roaster wholesaler. It was converted to propane but can easily be converted back to natural gas. I have roasted nearly 4000 batches in this workhorse. It is simple, extremely well-built and easy to maintain. The discoloration you see in the photos is from regular roasting and easy to clean off. I was not able to give it a through cleaning before I put it into storage. Roaster is in north-central Wisconsin, is professionally crated and ready to ship anywhere. Asking $24,000 or reasonable offer. Email me at joseph@newrootscoffee.com if you have serious interest.

Hello coffee folks. I dropped the price on my roaster a bit and am willing to share/negotiate the cost of moving and freight. Let me know if you have questions. This is a solid machine and I know it inside and out.

Question, How did you load your hopper with the ceiling so low? Surprised no one has jumped on this. Looks like a pretty good machine. Probably would clean up nice. Just knock out the cob webs, little degreaser and she might look ok.

I had to remove a ceiling tile to load it because It is located in the basement of my old house. It was a real boot-strap operation. I had to roll each bag of green coffee down the steps. It has some build up on the front lip when you dump the beans out the drum and a little color variation in paint from the pre-2007 owner. It ia a production roaster, not a show piece and has served me well for 16 years. It is simple to maintain, very easy to use, and extremely well designed.
