The Probat UG22 is a 22 to 25 kg drum roaster built on the classic UG series design that dates back to the 1920s, and CoffeeTec's collection includes both original vintage units and fully rebuilt models ready to ship. Every listing here is inspected and detailed by year, condition, and rebuild history so you can compare machines side by side. If you want to see the full range of Probat sizes and series beyond the UG22, browse our complete Probat roaster collection.
Each UG22 in stock is a real, inspected machine, not a factory reprint. You get the exact year, condition notes, and any rebuild or retrofit work up front, so there are no surprises once the roaster ships. That matters most with a design this old: the drum, burner, and control setup on a 1960s UG22 look nothing like those on a 2019 rebuild, even though both bear the same model name.
Vintage vs. Rebuilt UG22 Units
You will typically see two kinds of UG22 listings in this collection. Original vintage units retain the classic cast-iron drum and manual aroma-wheel control, prized by roasters who want the retro look and simpler mechanical operation. Rebuilt units take an original UG22 frame and refresh the drive, burner, and electrical systems to modern gas and voltage standards, often adding digital temperature readouts or an afterburner. Both approaches keep the signature 22-25 kg batch range and the round, individual design the UG series is known for.
Why Buy a Probat UG22 Through CoffeeTec
Every listing includes the manufacture year, current condition, and any rebuild details, so you know exactly what you are buying before you commit. If a UG22 is not the right batch size for your roasting volume, our large batch roasters over 20 kg collection covers other options in a similar production range. If you are working through the buying process for the first time, our guide to buying a used coffee roaster walks through inspection, sizing, and the questions worth asking a seller.
FAQs
What is the batch capacity of a Probat UG22?
+The UG22 handles a batch size up to 25 kg, with most listings run around 22 kg. It can complete several batches per hour depending on how you manage cooling and cycle time between roasts.
Does the Probat UG22 run on gas or electric?
+The UG22 is a gas-fired roaster, typically set up for natural gas or propane. Confirm the fuel type and electrical specs in the specific listing before you buy, since rebuilt units are often converted to meet US standards.
What is the difference between the UG22 and other Probat models?
+The UG22 belongs to Probat's UG series, which uses the classic aroma wheel control and retro drum design. Newer P-series and G-series Probat roasters use more modern airflow and digital controls, so the right choice comes down to whether you want that classic manual feel or a more automated setup.
Does a UG22 need a separate afterburner?
+It depends on your local air quality rules and roasting volume. Some UG22 listings already include an afterburner, while others require one to be added separately. Check the emissions requirements in your area before you finalize a purchase.
Can I finance a used Probat UG22 roaster?
+Yes. CoffeeTec offers financing options for qualified buyers on eligible listings, so you can spread the cost of a UG22 purchase over time rather than paying the full amount upfront.
