HIGH PERFORMANCE

• Double wall carbon steel drum design for optimal heat transfer. 3mm gap between layers ensures perfect heat transfer for homogeneous roasting whilst reducing the chance of the bean tipping.
• Additional insulation in the combustion chamber to ensure more efficient operation and retention of heat.
• Very quick cooling 2-3mins with high capacity 1.5kw cooling motor.
• Simultaneous roasting and cooling for maximum production output.
• High efficiency Cyclone featuring detachable chaff bucket with level site inspection window.
• Sight glasses for viewing in Drum Roasting, Burner Flame and Hopper Level. Coffee sampler for removing coffee beans and inspecting during the roasting process.
• System is prewired for easy addition and installation of an afterburner or destoner aftermarket.
• Green coffee loading system with floor vacuum receiver and dust filter system.

ADVANCED AUTOMATION & CONTROLS

• Automatic hopper door with electric actuator for precise and automatic loading of the coffee into the drum at the start of a profile. Quiet operation with no compressor required.
• Next generation Coffee Sweet PC control system designed specifically for the Phantom Series of roasters.
• 8x faster processing speed with 3x independent processors for increased functionality, additional storage space and future upgrades.
• Real time graphing of all 4 thermocouple temperatures, Gas, Fan, Drum Speed and Rate of Rise on all.
• Independent control module on the roaster with its own memory as well as PC connection allows for backup in case of computer issue.
• Independent ambient temperature monitoring and relative humidity sensor.
• 150 synced profile memory with automation. Infinite non-synced profiles can be stored on a PC.
