Continuous dry roaster

JC Design has designed, manufactured and installed a continuous dry roaster suitable for seeds, wheat, nuts, etc. The roaster is capable of producing up to 1000 kg/h of product at 12 min cook time.

Manufactured in stainless steel, with 316 stainless steel used for parts in contact with product, the unit measures 7 x 1.5 m.

A special indirect gas-fired heat exchanger is continually circulating, heating and distributing roasting-chamber air to give an even roast result.

The roasting chamber consists of an insulated rotating drum, 6 m long, with a continuous internal screw flight to give controlled feed and tumbling of product. The drum is driven by a variable speed drive to give roasting times of 3 to 18 min.

Variable temperature adjustment, maximum 350 °C and variable flow rate 3 to 18 min allows users to adjust for a perfect cook.

The cooling drum can be mounted under the roasting drum, where the roasted product is fed into it and is screwed back to the roasting infeed end, to be discharged onto a conveyor.

This roaster adds to the JC Design range of continuous fryers, branding/char markers, batter and crumbing machines, flavour depositing and mixing units.
