The VR series last generation vertical continuous roasting plant has been specially designed to achieve the correct degree of drying and continuous roasting of cocoa beans and nuts in a single compact and versatile plant while fully respecting the organoleptic characteristics of the raw material.The product to be processed is sent continuously into the hopper, which feeds directly by gravity to the roaster and descends slowly through the 1st stage designed for drying / pre-roasting, where the product is dried and brought to the roasting temperature via the circulation of air heated up by steam coils with partial renewal in order to adequately remove humidity. In the next roasting area the products are processed with hot air, which is recirculated to optimise energy consumption. Afterwords, the product goes to the cooling area, where it is brought to an ambient temperature with the ventilation of highly filtered clean air. The exhaust air is sent to a cyclone separator, which removes any dust and allows to transfer the air into the surrounding environment with no pollutants.With a vertical design, the roaster is very compact and offers good accessibility to make cleaning and maintenance operations easier. The PLC takes care of ensuring an accurate roasting cycle, it adjusts the temperatures and duration of the various stages, which can be set from the touch-screen operator panel.
