CRM-F

Industrial Cocoa & Dry Fruits Roasters

CRM-F industrial cocoa and dry fruits roasters are renowned for their top performance and reliability by cocoa beans roasteries and chocolat producers worldwide.

Renowned for their energy efficiency and user-friendly control design, CRM-F roasters are also a cost-effective option due to their low maintenance needs, which minimize downtime and operational expenses.

MANUAL CONTROL OPERATION

The CRM-F roaster models operate in a simple and efficient way and are composed of the following elements: a cocoa bean feeding hopper, a roasting drum, an oven with a gas burner, a cyclone for collecting chaff, and a cooler.

HOW IT WORKS

The receiving hopper feeds the cocoa beans and doses them to the roasting drum. The flow of hot air gradually heats and roasts the cocoa to perfection due to a continuous rotating movement aided by a sophisticated internal design and special mixing paddles to ensure the cocoa beans are constantly moving, changing position, and uniformly benefit from the circulating hot air. The roasted cocoa is then delivered to the cooler sieve, where they are quickly brought to the right temperature to lock in their flavor and aroma.

THE RESULT

An integrated system manually controlled and manufactured by experienced master craftmen and engineers, with high technology, the best materials and components from the most reputed world manufacturers to deliver the most amazing final product.

REGARDLESS OF THE METHOD AND CAPACITY, WE HAVE THE PERFECT SOLUTION FOR YOU

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 cocoa beans roasters, 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.

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.

PNEUMATIC CYLINDERS SYSTEM

The Pneumatic Cylinders System opens and closes all doors of the roaster (hopper, drum, and cooler doors) through valves, actuators, switches, and all the accessories for a well-adjusted roasting operation.

Additionally, it improves the overall productivity, making the roasting an easy and effortless process.

MANUAL WITH DATA LOGGER PROFILE

The CRM-F can be prepared for roasting profile with Cropster or Artisan.

This type of software is a datalogger that records the exhaust temperature ‘air flow’ (ET), the bean temperature (BT), the Rate-of-Rise (RoR) and the roasting curves. However, to be able to repeat these records you will have to control it manually.
