Cocoa bean roasting machine: 100 and 200 kg/h drum roasters
Our cocoa roaster is an industrial rotating-drum roasting machine for chocolate makers, cocoa butter producers and bean-to-bar workshops. The stainless drum turns the beans continuously while hot air and infrared heat roast them evenly, then discharges them for cooling and winnowing.
Choose electric heating (ESS models) or gas heating (GSS models), each in a 100 kg/h and a 200 kg/h size.

Choosing a model
Which cocoa roaster fits your output?
- Up to about 200 kg of beans a day — a 100 kg/h model (ESS-1 or GSS-1).
- 200–1,000 kg a day — a 200 kg/h model (ESS-2 or GSS-2).
- Electric (ESS) if you have stable 380 V three-phase power and no gas line.
- Gas (GSS) if you already run LPG or natural gas — lower running cost at high volume.
Roast profile
Most cocoa is roasted between 120 and 160°C. The exact time and temperature depend on bean origin, moisture and the chocolate flavour you want, so we help you set a profile from your own beans. Cool the beans quickly after discharge to lock in the flavour.

FAQ
Cocoa roasting machine FAQ
What temperature is used to roast cocoa beans?
Typically 120–160°C. The roaster itself can run from room temperature up to 300°C, so it also handles other roasting jobs.
Electric or gas cocoa roaster — which is better?
Electric models are simpler to install and suit workshops with good 380 V power. Gas models suit plants that already have LPG or natural gas and roast large volumes every day.
Can the roaster be used for other products?
Yes. It is a general drum roaster for granular materials. Send us a sample of your product and we will confirm the settings.
How much does a cocoa roaster cost?
It depends on the size and heat source. The electric ESS-1 is the entry model. Tell us your daily bean volume and power supply for a quotation.
