A high-tech and high-end commercial roaster.

The Ghibli R15 commercial coffee roaster was designed to provide the latest technology for those who appreciate quality and deserve the best. It’s much more than a rotating “barrel on flames” – it’s created using the most advanced product design software, from beginning to end and will ensure reliable operation together with consistent, superb results for many years to come. The Ghibli features:

• Advanced thermodynamic characterization.
• Robust and accurate drum housing, ensuring that the drum will spin “in-line” for the entire life of the product.
• Drum proportion – achieving an optimal ratio between heat conduction and heat convection.
• In-drum agitation designed for perfect bean stirring, greater heat conduction between metal and beans, chaff separation and the immediate evacuation of the beans from the drum into the cooling group.
• Perfect heat dispersion – as a result of an intensively researched ceramic combustion chamber, optimally located against the drum, spreading heat equally throughout the drum, as opposed to the more common setup of heat being directly applied to the drum at a single point.

Unique Roasting Software

A unique roasting software developed exclusively by Coffee-Tech Engineering, enabling the user to predefine and program personal roast profiles. By recording the desired heating curves, endless roast profiles can be applied, again and again, with the greatest accuracy.

The Next-Gen Vortex TO4 Roasting Drum

In Ghibli R15, airstream blasts in spiral motion into the drum and through the coffee beans, requiring smaller amount of air to enter the roaster for a full effect.

The longer spiral path across the drum and through the coffee bed is unlike the olden traditional roaster mechanisms, which had a perforated back plate allowing huge amounts of air into the drum in a short, straight path. With our roaster, the beans are not stripped away from their coffee goodness, while the energy is also used to maintain the heat right next to the exhaust without working on the coffee itself. This innovative approach ensures a unique added-value offering for cost-effectiveness, energy optimization, and enhanced flavor.

Lab tests have shown a huge improvement in the coffee’s solids content and density, with amazing improvements in gas consumption, roasting time, fume emission.

Clean, Efficient and Safe Heating System

Coffee-Tech’s entire Ghibli line features a highly efficient turbo gas burner. This clean heat source provides maximum gas burning efficiency with minimum levels of carbon monoxide emission. Safe, economical and stable, it features many unique parameters for control and calibration, described in detail in our user manual.

Comprehensive Set of Features

Coffee-Tech Engineering has paid special attention to the less than obvious details, such as the compact, efficient structure of the roaster, batch cooling time, drum evacuation time, the size of the monitoring control lens and drum-gate, an additional lens in the green bean hopper and more. At the end of the cycle, the entire roasted batch is transferred to the cooling group in a matter of seconds. This external group is made of 100% stainless steel with special food-grade material agitation blades which efficiently shuffle the beans over the cooling mesh. Aided by a high capacity blower, an entire batch is cooled in less than four minutes. The features above are often ignored details and their PP impact is tangible in the finished brew. Thanks to the cutting-edge technology of the machine, the roasting process achieves excellent levels of sugar, aromatic oil and a wide aromatic range. These virtues are achieved without burning the “woody” substance of the bean.

The Perfect Roasting System

Determining a high level of conductive heat has proved the best method for producing a rich cup and this is the Ghibli R15 differ from other manufactures. Since conduction is complicated and presents several unresolved issues, many have abandoned it in favour of convective heat. Coffee-Tech Engineering has invested in extensive research in order to solve these issues. In doing so, they have designed the Ghibli R15 to roasts continuously, while cooling takes place outside the drum, making it possible to roast up to 60 kg of beans per hour. The Ghibli R15 is user-friendly, ergonomic, quiet, compact and safe. Each function has an individual motor and heat protection. This is a result of CAD design and the use of high quality materials, components and precise manufacturing tools assembled and completed by Coffee-Tech Engineering’s passionate artisans.

The Ghibli R15 is available with various heating methods, from natural gas and LPG, to traditional wood and charcoal heating, according to the customer’s preference. As a high-end roaster, the Ghibli R15 will ensure reliable operation together with consistent, superb results for many years to come.
