The MCR-20 Coffee Roaster is a fully featured high performance, high production specialty coffee roasting system.
The MCR-20 is equipped with dedicated high pressure centrifugal blower roaster exhaust and cooling tray fans that allow for simultaneous roasting and cooling. It is fully RoastPATH Automation capable and offers the option of a pneumatic coffee loader with integrated scale. This system allows a single operator to easily exceed over 1000 lbs of the highest quality finished coffee per day.
The all-digital control system integrates seamlessly with RoastPATH®, including the highly requested Roast Replay feature. During the roast, RoastPATH® automatically logs BT, ET, IT and DT temperature readings, as well as fuel setting changes, and fan, fuel and drum speed adjustments. Direct drum pressure is also logged as a feedback loop for operator controlled roast airflow changes.
Total control over your fuel, fan and drum speed allows you remarkable flexibility in your batch size. You can easily scale your batch size up or down without sacrificing quality to focus on a special green or small project.
This model includes the Operator Assist System which automatically recovers to production charge temperature settings, starts timers, and triggers the cooling tray fan and stirring arms off/on at discharge from the drum or cooling tray. This system also incorporates position sensors that make it nearly impossible to accidentally discharge green coffee from the drum into a cooling tray filled with roasted coffee.
High capacity cooling trays and stirring arms are designed to hold 3 full batches for post-roast blending. High performance cooling fans cool 2nd crack roasts within 4 minutes.
For roastery cafes in California, the MCR-20 is available in an NSF certified configuration for immediate installation anywhere in the state.
