View full detailsAbout Sivetz Roasters
Used Sivetz roasters are the machines that started fluid bed roasting, and CoffeeTec carries them across batch sizes as they become available. This collection currently covers a 15 kg 1/4-bag system and a 35 kg 1/2-bag system, both listed with their current condition and service history. If you want to compare the technology against other hot air designs first, our air roasters collection covers the wider fluid bed category.
Why Buy a Used Sivetz Roaster Through CoffeeTec
Every Sivetz listing here comes with the batch size, condition, and service history spelled out up front, not just a photo and a price. That makes it easier to compare a used roaster the same way you would compare any other major equipment purchase. Sivetz roasters are known for running for decades with basic upkeep, and many of the parts that wear out are still available through standard industrial suppliers.
Understanding Sivetz Batch Sizes
Sivetz roasters are sized in "bags," a holdover from the typical 154 lb bag of green coffee they were designed around. A 1/4-bag system, like the 15 kg model above, suits a roastery producing a steady daily volume. A 1/2-bag system, like the 35 kg model, suits a roastery that has already outgrown a smaller machine. Both sizes use the same fluid bed principle: hot air lifts and moves the beans instead of a spinning drum. If you are still deciding between a 15 kg roaster and something in the 5-18 kg medium batch range or the 20 kg+ large batch range, both collections let you compare specs side by side.
Upgrading or Moving On From a Sivetz Roaster
Some roasteries hold onto a Sivetz for years before scaling up, and some are ready to move one along once a bigger machine comes in. If you have a Sivetz roaster sitting idle, you can list it directly through our sell your equipment program and let CoffeeTec handle the buyer side of the transaction.
FAQs
What makes a Sivetz roaster different from a drum roaster?
+A Sivetz roaster uses a stream of hot air to lift and roast the beans instead of a heated metal drum. That fluid bed design tends to finish a batch faster and produce a cleaner, brighter cup than a comparable drum roaster. Our drum roaster vs air roaster guide breaks down the full comparison.
Why are Sivetz roasters labeled by "bag" size?
+The bag naming traces back to the standard 154 lb bag of green coffee used when these machines were first built. A "1/4 bag" or "1/2 bag" system tells you roughly what portion of a full bag the roaster processes per batch, which is why you will see it listed alongside the kilogram capacity.
Are parts still available for an older Sivetz roaster?
+Many of the components on a Sivetz roaster are standard industrial parts rather than proprietary pieces, so replacements are usually easier to source than owners expect. Always confirm the exact model and control system with the listing details before you buy, since parts availability can vary by build year.
Is a used Sivetz roaster a good fit for a growing roastery?
+A used Sivetz can be a practical way to add production capacity without paying new-equipment prices, especially if your roastery already values the fast, clean roast profile that fluid bed technology produces. Review the batch size against your daily volume needs before choosing between the 15 kg and 35 kg options.
What batch sizes does CoffeeTec carry in Sivetz roasters?
+Current listings span a 15 kg 1/4 bag system up to a 35 kg 1/2 bag system, with condition and year varying by unit. Check back regularly, since inventory in this brand turns over as roasters are bought and sold.
