About Lilla Coffee Roasters
Lilla coffee roasters are Brazilian-built industrial machines, in production since 1918, known for recirculating airflow that cuts fuel use and, on most models, removes the need for a separate afterburner. This collection lists used Lilla equipment as sellers bring it to the CoffeeTec marketplace, from single-drum QB and Opus roasters to complete SMART mini-plants built for continuous, high-volume runs. Because listings here change as inventory turns over, if you don't see a Lilla available right now, tell us what you're looking for and we'll help track one down.
Why Lilla Roasters Stand Out
Lilla has built roasting equipment in Brazil for over 100 years and remains one of the country's leading industrial roaster manufacturers. The brand's signature feature is a recirculating air system paired with water quenching, which keeps roast temperatures consistent, reduces gas consumption, and, on most Lilla models, lets you skip a separate afterburner altogether. That combination has made Lilla a common choice for large-scale operations that need dependable, repeatable output batch after batch.
Lilla Roaster Lineup
Lilla's catalog spans a wide production range, so it helps to know which series fits your scale before you buy.
| Series | Typical Capacity | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| QB Series | 30 to 120 kg per batch | Growing wholesale roasters stepping up in batch size |
| Opus Series | Up to 600 kg per hour output | Large-scale contract and private label roasting |
| SMART Mini-Plants | 100 to 125 kg per batch | Full automated setups with profile playback |

FAQs
What makes Lilla Roasters different from other industrial brands?
+Lilla's recirculating air system routes hot roast air back through the drum instead of venting it, which improves consistency and reduces fuel use compared to a standard single-pass design. Combined with water quenching, it is a major reason the brand has remained a leader in industrial roasting for over a century.
Do Lilla Roasters need an afterburner?
+Most Lilla models do not require a separate afterburner, since the recirculating design and water quenching handle smoke and emissions internally. Always confirm the setup on the specific machine and check your local emissions requirements before installation.
What sizes do Lilla roasters come in?
+Lilla's range runs from 30 kg batch QB roasters up through Opus-series machines rated for as much as 600 kg per hour, plus fully automated SMART mini-plants in the 100 to 125 kg batch range.
Can I get parts and service for a used Lilla roaster in the US?
+Lilla maintains a presence in the US for parts and service support alongside its home base in Brazil. As with any used industrial equipment, confirm parts availability for the exact model and year with the seller before you buy.
How do I find out if a specific Lilla model is available right now?
