Description

The Ghibli R15 commercial cocoa roaster has a dedicated internal design specialized to meet the quality needs for industrial cocoa roasting in medium volume production facilities. The Ghibli R15 commercial cocoa roaster features full professional profiles and heavy-duty design for quality roasting and reliable operation.

The Ghibli R15 commercial cocoa roaster roasts continuously while cooling is done outside the drum, allowing you to roast more Kg per hour. The Ghibli R15’s construction excels in its high craftsmanship thanks to CAD design and high production standards.

The Ghibli R15 commercial cocoa roaster was designed to provide the latest technology, for those who really understand and appreciate quality, and for those who deserve the best. The Ghibli R15 is much more than a rotating “barrel on flames”. For us, at Coffee-Tech Engineering, perfection and advancing technology is our goal.

The Ghibli R15 is a product that was designed using the most advanced product design software from start to finish. This helped us optimize parameters such as: advanced thermodynamic characterization; optimal heat distribution; robust accurate drum housing which keeps the drum spinning “in line” for life; drum proportion for an optimal ratio between heat conduction and heat convection; in drum agitation design for perfect beans fluidizing; greater conduction between metal and beans; chaff separation and immediate bean evacuation from the drum to the cooling group in order to bring the roasting process to an immediate stop; perfect heat dispersion thanks to a well-studied ceramic combustion chamber optimally located against the drum, spreading heat equally around the drum.

Coffee-Tech’s entire Ghibli line is equipped with the most efficient turbo gas burner. It is a clean heating source, providing maximum efficiency in gas burning and minimal emission of Carbon Monoxide. It is safe, economical and stable, with many unique parameters to control and calibrate as described in detail in our user manual.

FAQs

What is special about your cocoa roasting drum?
For several years we have conducted an extensive R&D project in which we have been investigating the impact of material, shape, volume and motion on the performance of the roasting drums we feature in our various machines. One of the outcomes was our cocoa roasting drum. An entirely dedicated internal design for cocoa, while keeping the original external dimensions and form.
How come your 15 kg roaster is so small compared to others?
Everything at Coffee-Tech Engineering is designed using 3D CAD; this enables us to control, in detail, each and every aspect of the designed machine and to produce a high-tech, efficient and compact machine. Every single piece of Coffee-Tech's machines has a professional significance; we leave nothing to chance.
What is an Afterburner?
An Afterburner is a system used to eliminate (burn) smoke and odor coming from the drum roasters’ exhaust system.
How do I know if I need an afterburner?
There is no definite answer to this question; this depends on where you are roasting and what your surroundings are. If, for example, you are roasting in a residential area, most probably you will need an afterburner (or the Avirnaki system if you are using a shop roaster). The need for an afterburner depends on many factors that vary from one country to another and sometimes even from one city to another – neighbors, local regulations, licensing etc. The best thing to do is inquire with your local authorities regarding your roasting facility plans.
What is a Destoner?
During the processing of cocoa, in producing countries, various foreign materials find their way into the raw cocoa bags – stones, metal objects, glass and more. These objects, if not removed, can bring serious harm to equipment such as grinders. A De-Stoner is the machine that pneumatically removes these foreign objects from the roasted cocoa and drops them into a sieve. Our De-Stoner also comes with a frequency inverter that allows the user to adjust the airflow according to the cocoa variety or roast degree.
What kind of ducting do I need?
The most preferable configuration is a straight up duct (chimney), through the roof and free to the atmosphere. Side ducting is also possible but, if used, should follow some fundamental principles – contact us for further advice. The best material for ducting is double-walled stainless steel
