CRS-F

Industrial Cocoa & Dry Fruits Roasters

The automatic industrial roasters CRS-F models are known for their innovative design and superior performance.

Designed for energy efficiency and user-friendly operation, they are the economical choice for industrial roasting. With minimal maintenance required, the downtime is minimized and reduced the operational expenses.

AUTOMATIC WITH BRIGUS ROASTING PROFILE SYSTEM

The CRS-F cocoa and dry fruits roasters are fully automatic featuring caractheristics which improve roaster’s operation and roasting efficiency by introducing the possibility of using the concept of roast profiling with the BRIGUS – Coffee Roast Control & Log System.

HOW IT WORKS

BRIGUS controls all the operating functions and parameters of the CRS-F roasters; control of the on-off switch, load and discharge, burner – manually or in automated mode, flow of air through the fan, roasting time, bean and air temperature and roaster maintenance record.

Additionally BRIGUS will allow the roast master to define the roast profile using a roasted lot or other lot previously created in the BRIGUS database. You can also modify parameters such as bean temperature, burner and fan during the roasting process. BRIGUS will also analyze all the information from each roast and its profile stored in the database, lot by lot or by comparing lots. The roast master is in total control of the roasting process being able to identify roast batch, client, origin, profile type, and obtain results such as color, roast time, environmental conditions, register events such as first and second crack, and note making.

THE RESULT

A complete, fully automatic solution that controls every process and stage of the roasting process to perfect the 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

Included in all CRS-F cocoa and dry fruits roasters, 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.

Automatic control with BRIGUS roasting system

The CRS-F 30 is a fully automatic roaster featuring caractheristics which improve roaster’s operation and roasting efficiency by introducing the possibility of using the concept of roast profiling with the BRIGUS – Roast Control & Log System.

BRIGUS 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 roasting curves.
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 lots.

BRIGUS has a function for 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.
