Advanced Components and Classic, Handmade Beauty

In order to make the coffee roasting process as efficient and eco-friendly as possible, the SF25 can be outfitted with an afterburner that burns up any smoke and odor created from the roasting process or left with . This addition, which comes standard with all SF25 roasters, leads to a smaller environmental impact. The afterburner and chaff collector are combined in a separate cylinder behind the roaster for ease of maintenance. Much like our other roasters, the SF25 is compatible with most data-logging programs.

The SF25 comes equipped with a variable drum rotation speed, a built-in afterburner, a hot air damper, and a variable speed hot-air fan. We only use high-quality, American-made motors, sprockets and bearings. The gas and electric parts of the SF25’s are also American-made to guarantee quality and longevity.
