Probat Werke GN 120 Cast Iron Coffee Roaster - 120 kilos used
Yes . . . this is a modified original 1897 Probat 120 kilo industrial roaster . . . the cast iron style body and came directly to US from Germany and was first outfitted with US electrical. This is sold AS-IS and will require somebody with controls knowledge as the panel has all sorts of speed control and computer screen modules and not much more than the basics electrical outline wiring schematics. This roaster went in to a major chocolate factory where they roasted coffee for promo products and for controlling actual coffee into chocolate recipes. So, no heavy use . . . but the exhaust fan was changed to be variable - same with drum speed. So, lots of this roaster is no longer original - but it is logical. That is also why it is such a low price.
There is a manual bucket loader, a destoner assembly and some spare parts . . . there is a chaff collector that has been wrapped in insulation so as to not add any heat to the plant . . . recommend that you remove all that as it makes the chaff system seem bulky looking - but it was not about looks.
We have tested the rotation - went inside for inspection and can see that the insides are not showing any great wear or tear . . . so that is why I think this is one step above a project.
SPECIFICATIONS
- Need 7'6" for the width - plus the destoner and the sub panel for control. There is another main panel that will have to mount on the wall somewhere and pipe to the sub on the machine
