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

A careful analysis of the cocoa beans 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, 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 cocoa 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.

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.

Full control on your roasting

The BR-F PREMIUM cocoa and dry fruits roasters are equipped with a touch-screen display, a new cost-effective and eco-friendly premix gas burner with precise and responsive control, speed control for the drum and drum fan (air flow), 2 thermocouples (bean and exhaust air temperatures), vacuum pressure (in Pa), an Ethernet connection to plug a PC or laptop, and other top-level technical features like the cooling air exhaust temperature.

The roasting profile software BRIGUS – Coffee Roast Control & Log System allows you to control the roaster and the pre-selected roasting profile.

To follow and replicate the curves of a pre-selected profile, BRIGUS automatically controls and adjusts the gas burner and the fan speed parameters (air flow) to follow the bean curve.

The result is an even and homogeneous roast, batch after batch.

With BRIGUS you can:

Define new profile based on previously stored ones
Roast base under a pre-defined profile
Rate of Rise (RoR)
Control the roasting process manually or automatically
Roast vs. desired profile evolution during the process
Register occurrences, events and notes
Register all the processes
Analyse and compare roasted coffee lots.

BRIGUS has a function which allows maintenance programming and control thus reducing unproductive time, and directly improving the way your roaster works with only a touch or click away.

BRIGUS automates your operation and helps protect your investment.

The BR-F PREMIUM cocoa roasters are also prepared to use Cropster and Artisan software with advanced roast & replay features to automatically replicate your profiles. Although they can’t be used simultaneously.
