Who is the FZ94 Evo Cocoa & Nuts designed for?
The FZ94 Evo Cocoa & Nuts is a professional grade cocoa roaster, built for artisanal chocolatiers and R&D labs. It is the ideal tool for those starting a chocolate business or adding a high-performance profile development machine to an existing setup. its primary purpose is to provide the most granular control over the roasting process possible, making it the gold standard for profile development and quality control.
What makes the FZ94 Evo a "Laboratory Roaster"?
Unlike standard commercial roasters, the FZ94 Evo allows for total manual intervention across every thermal variable. It features independent control over three separate heating elements, drum speed, and airflow. This level of precision allows professionals to isolate specific variables to understand how they affect the bean’s physical and chemical transformation.
What is the roasting capacity of the FZ94 Evo?
It offers a wide range of batch capacities, from 100-gram samples up to 2.4 kg batches. This versatility allows it to function as a sample roaster, a laboratory tool, or a small-scale production roaster.
How does the FZ94 Evo compare to fully automatic roasters?
While many modern roasters focus on automation, the FZ94 Evo is designed for the professional roast master. It is a manual-first machine that demands a deep understanding of coffee roasting. However, it fully integrates with industry-standard software to log data and replicate successful profiles with extreme accuracy.
What heating technology does the FZ94 Evo use?
The FZ94 Evo uses a combination of infrared radiation, convection, conduction, and thermo-siphoned heat. This ensures perfectly even heat distribution, maximizing the bean's extractable properties and flavor development.
What safety features are included?
The roaster is equipped with a manual crank, allowing you to rotate the drum safely and remove beans during a power shortage or emergency, protecting both your coffee and the machine.
What are the installation and power requirements?
The FZ94 Evo is fully electric, requiring no gas connection. This reduces emissions and simplifies installation. For indoor use without external ducting, it can be paired with the Avirnaki smoke eliminator for a completely smokeless, chimney-free setup.
What kind of sensors are included for data logging?
Precision is at the core of the FZ94 Evo. It comes standard with high-sensitivity probes for:
- Bean Temperature
- Drum Temperature
- Exhaust Air Temperature
These sensors provide real-time data to the digital controllers and can be bridged to your laptop for advanced profiling.
How difficult is it to clean the FZ94 Evo?
The FZ94 Evo was designed for maximum ease. It features an easily accessible chaff collector, and lets you know automatically when it's time for a meintanence checkup.
