Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a used afterburner?
A used afterburner is a pre-owned emissions control system that incinerates smoke and odor from coffee roasting exhaust, ensuring cleaner air and compliance with local environmental standards.
2. Why should I buy a used afterburner instead of a new one?
Buying a used afterburner saves significantly on upfront costs while still providing reliable smoke and odor control. It’s a smart, sustainable investment for roasters expanding capacity or meeting compliance needs.
3. How do afterburners improve air quality?
Afterburners work by heating roasting exhaust to high temperatures, burning off volatile compounds and particulates — leaving cleaner, nearly odorless air exiting your vent system.
4. Can a used afterburner fit my existing roaster?
Most likely, yes. Our used afterburners come in various sizes and configurations to match a wide range of roaster models. We’ll help you find a compatible system for your setup.
5. Do used afterburners meet local emissions regulations?
Many of our used afterburners meet or exceed EPA and local air quality standards. We can guide you in selecting a model that aligns with your specific regional requirements.
6. How much maintenance do used afterburners require?
Maintenance is minimal — mostly cleaning burners and checking airflow components. Regular inspection keeps your used afterburner operating efficiently and extends its service life.
