Many varieties and changing demand
A 10 kg roaster reduces the risk of excess stock in slow-selling SKUs.
PRECISION ROAST / COMPARISONS / COFFEE ROASTERS
10 KG ROASTEROR 15 KG
Two production sizes with different trade-offs between flexibility and spare capacity.
The five-kilogram difference affects more than output per cycle. It changes production-run size, the cost of a batch error, cooling requirements, and the ease of producing small-volume SKUs.

COMPARE THE PROCESS
01conclusion
A 10 kg roaster suits a mix of production needs and preserves flexibility. A 15 kg roaster is justified by steady, large runs and a downstream line ready to handle them.
02comparison
Using the same starting assumptions
| Parameter | 10 KGMixed wholesale and retail | 15 KGCore equipment for regular production |
|---|---|---|
| ESTIMATEWorking batch load | approximately 7.5–10 kg | approximately 11-15 kg |
| CALCULATIONExample: 8 cycles | 68 kg at 8.5 kg | 104 kg at 13 kg |
| EDITORIAL ASSESSMENTSKU flexibility | higher | lower for small production runs |
| ESTIMATEWholesale output | medium | high |
| ESTIMATEPackaging workflow | may be manual or semi-automatic | often requires mechanization |
| ESTIMATEProject risk | moderate | higher when underutilized |
03by scenario
How the decision changes
Contracted volumes within one product range
A 15 kg roaster reduces cycle count when working batch loads remain consistent.
Growth is forecast, but not backed by contracts
Assess phased expansion and the cost of unused capacity.

05frequently asked questions
Before your final choice
Does a 15 kg roaster automatically cost less per kilogram?
No. Costs improve only with sufficient utilization and a balanced line; downtime and unsold inventory can offset the benefit.
How should I account for growth?
Build a baseline scenario, one based on confirmed demand, and a stress scenario. Choose equipment for a range, not a single optimistic figure.
When is packaging automation needed?
When manual work cannot keep up with shift output or cannot provide the required accuracy and traceability. Check this by timing the process.
Do not choose a roaster size by guesswork
The calculator estimates cycle count and spare capacity. The planner connects those results with the premises and downstream production stages.
