Kafgar KR-1.5 Shop Type Coffee Roaster (1.5 kg)

The Kafgar KR-1.5 is a shop type drum coffee roaster with a 1.5 kg (3.3 lb) batch. It roasts up to 4.5 kg of green coffee per hour in 12–16 minute cycles, which makes it a practical first production roaster for specialty roasteries and cafés, and a development roaster next to a larger machine.

Heating is LPG, LNG, natural gas or electric, with 17.5 kW heat power. The machine has a stainless steel housing, 4 motors, PLC control with drum speed control, a load hopper and an air-vacuum cooling chamber. It is offered for 110, 220 or 380 V at 50–60 Hz with a 1.24 kW power requirement, and roast data can be logged in Artisan or Cropster.

Footprint is 87x125x115 cm and the machine weighs 155 kg, so it fits a shop or a small production room. Gas models are CE marked under the EU Gas Appliances Regulation (EU) 2016/426. Every machine is shipped from our factory in Türkiye in a custom wooden export crate.
