ASHE Coffee Roasters were originally developed with the coffee farmer in mind. Low maintenance and high throughput are a must in the agricultural environment. Seasonal requirements for 24 hour, 7-day /week roasting during the harvest season are not a problem for the entire family of AIRPRO coffee roasters by ASHE. Regardless of the roaster capacity, all ASHE roasters are designed and intended to support the demands of continuous roasting. If you have an organic coffee farm, the ASHE all-electric roaster is the perfect choice, as the electric heat source produces clean air that will maintain the integrity of your organic crop. For low maintenance, high throughput, and ease of use, an AIRPRO Coffee Roaster by ASHE is the perfect choice to roast your signature crop.
Coffee shops small and large are the perfect environment for an AIRPRO coffee roaster by ASHE. The all Stainless-Steel construction of the roaster and cooling system is easy to clean and attractive for your customers to see. Set your coffee shop apart from others with the smell and taste of freshly roasted coffee, which will have customers standing in line for your fresh brew. The high throughput and efficiency of an AIRPRO coffee roaster will generate significant savings by allowing you to roast fresh green beans on demand, rather than having to inventory expensive pre-roasted coffee that loses its freshness with every day of storage! Take advantage of the cost savings afforded by vertical integration of your coffee shop and roast your own beans, using an easy to maintain and simple to use AIRPRO fluid bed coffee roaster.
Commercial Coffee roasters can benefit from the larger capacity of the ASHE 22 lb/10 kg AIRPRO-22 fluid bed coffee roaster. The AIRPRO-22 is available in 240V, 1-phase or 208V, 3-phase configurations. The small footprint of the AIRPRO-22 system maximizes the utilization of precious floor space in your commercial workspace. The complete system can be installed in a footprint of 10.25 square feet using the standard ASHE recommended layout. Roasting times under 15 minutes are typical for a medium roasted full 22 lb/10 kg batch, making for a throughput of 88 lbs of green beans per hour (40 kg). The optional ASHE chaff collector effectively extracts chaff as the roast progresses, keeping your roasting area clean. A five-gallon capacity chaff bucket only requires a once-daily cleanout, which is quick and easy to accomplish.
The AIRPRO 11-1 Fluid Bed coffee roaster is our latest base system, upgraded to incorporate patented design features of the larger AIRPRO-22 system.
