What is the working batch load for a 5 kg roaster?+
The 4–5 kg range is only a preliminary planning estimate. Confirm minimum and maximum working batch loads using the specific model's documentation and a test roast.
How much coffee can I produce per shift?+
For example, 8 cycles at 4.5 kg process 36 kg of green coffee before weight loss. Actual output depends on the roast profile, cooling, pauses, quality checks, and packaging.
Is a gas or electric 5 kg roaster better?+
There is no universal answer. Compare specific models, available infrastructure, controls, ventilation, local energy rates, and service.
How should I check an Alibaba supplier?+
Confirm the company's legal name and the exact model and configuration. Request the manual and a commercial quote, arrange an inspection, and specify acceptance tests in the contract.
