The sonofresco roaster is an automatic hot air roaster designed to evenly heat coffee beans in a roasting chamber, monitor the roasting process, roast to a desired “roast level”, and cool the roasted coffee beans all in a seventeen to twenty minute cycle, depending on the degree of darkness of the roasted coffee.

  • Page 8 VENT HOOD A vent hood, shown in Figure 1, can be ordered from sonofresco and provides many advantages. First, since it is a powered vent, the exhaust can be vented at greater distances without the risk of back-pressure into the roaster.
  • Page 9: Green Coffee

    It is important to know that not all green coffees are equal. While most green coffees will roast well in our machine, some poorly processed coffees will not. sonofresco maintains a good vari- ety of excellent specialty green coffees that have been tested for suitability for our roaster.

    10. Detailed Chaff Screen Cleaning The chaff screen consists of a wire mesh screen held in place by an aluminum outer ring. The mesh screen is simply wires woven together to create a wire grid. Each of these wires collect chaff and oil from the beans during the roasting process and must be cleaned to allow air to flow freely.

    11. Roast Chamber It is important that the roast chamber be cleaned after every roast to prevent the build-up of oils on the glass surface as well as the bottom plate. Oil build-up is not only unsightly, it will also affect the roaster perform- ance if the build-up becomes excessive.

  • Page 20 Cleaning the Temperature Sensor The two most important items to properly maintain are the screen and the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is delicate and should be handled with care. Clean only the ceramic end of the sensor; do not bend the wires. It is also important not to move the sensor from its location. Clean the temperature sen- sor with a dry 3M pad folded in half over the white portion of the sensor.
