OUR VAST KNOW-HOW EXTENDS TO COCOA AND DRY FRUITS ROASTERS

A careful analysis of the cocoa beans and dry fruits is necessary to make the perfect roast.

The roasting process is the most important factor that affects the final product. The end result will not as expected if the roasting is not correctly done. A slower roasting is more appropriated for cocoa beans and dry fruits, as they are more delicate. The perfect roast depends on the proper control of the drum speed, the burner power and the hot air circulation.

The cocoa and dry fruits roasters are not merely adapted coffee roasters.

With a long-standing reputation for manufacturing cocoa roasters for major chocolate producers and master chocolatiers worldwide, our roasters maintain the external dimensions and look of the original design from coffee roasters, although the major inovations and developments are ‘hidden in plain sight’.

We implemented a series of features designed specifically for cocoa beans and dry fruits. All modifications are seamlessly integrated within the roasters, preserving the timeless style and the handcrafted construction process.

Main Features

  • Cast iron drum with double wall and special mixing paddles

  • Premix burner with low NOx emission levels

  • Adjustable speed for drum and drum fan (air flow)

  • Cooler sieve in stainless steel with low rotation arms with special design scrapers and adjustable position

  • Minimal operation and reduced mechanical maintenance

  • Excellent hot air temperature distribution

  • Simultaneous roasting and cooling

  • Roaster customization options available

Cast Iron

Cast iron is the material of choice of expert roasters manufacturers because it's extremely strong and durable.

Cast iron is resistant to destruction and weakening by oxidation and is perfect to build a strong, robust, and durable roaster.

Cast Iron

Cast iron is the ideal material to use in coffee roasters, with its relatively low melting point, good fluidity, castability, excellent machinability, resistance to deformation, and wear resistance.

Cast Iron

Cast iron has thermal inertia and exceptional radiation capacity; consequently, it retains the heat. As a result, the heat is more evenly distributed and lasts longer.

Cast Iron

Joper roasters are proudly handcrafted in Portugal by master craftmen, out of traditional high quality durable materials such as cast iron.
