PROBAT DUETT RESEARCH & DEMO UNIT: 1 KILO

Probat Duett Research and Demo Unit 1 kilo - even High Yield . . . Best Offer . . .

Now, this roaster is NOT for everybody as it is totally specialized and designed as a "sample roaster" to really big and high yield roasters also made by Probat or Gothot back in the day . TOTALLY GEEK TYPE. Actually this machine was only used in the Probat Showroom when it was located in Burlingame California and has not be used since. Even then, it was used only several times a quarter or during a class. We always put in a little over 2 pounds so as to get 2 pounds out . . . but there is a flexible range. So, what does this thing do??? You put in from 1.6 pounds to 2.6 pounds and can set up a profile (or run manually) so that you can control air and heat and the speed of both allowing for as fast as a 2 minute roast for high yield or adjust to normal ranges for making intricate studies into changing conditions of profiling. Every detail of the machines innards or electrical box is all relay driven and controlled. The total roast process is visible before your eyes and as soon as the roast reaches your set point - the coffee simply slides and drops into the cooing chamber and you are ready for the next study. Requires an air connection. Runs on electric only. Has lights on inside. Comes in 2 big boxes and we had it installed with the roaster only in the Lab Showroom and the chaff and air handling unit in another room so we did not have to listen to it. Your option. Built in 1995 at Probat, it needs 3 phase power. Been in storage since those showroom days back in in '97.  Main piece for show and operation = 41" wide x 16" deep and 71" tall.  2nd box for chaff and air management 30" x 31" x 92" tall and can be placed remotely.  Now we will have to get manual from Germany - Duett M 95/40265-1 . . . as the one with the machine may be inside the cabinet or we may have to get a copy from Germany.  There are some tape marks on the door where someone secured for transport - but that will clean up. The machine is beige and brown. This is a very unusual high yield roaster that roast only 1 kilo or 2 pounds per batch - but it roast in 2 to 3 minutes . . . really fast!  Built in 1995 & 220 Volt/60 Hz.  Weighs about 1100 pounds with both cabinets.  Call and we can discuss - as this is going to waste in storage and for the right offer - it can be in a new home.
