Welcome to roasting on a different planet. This is Probat’s big leagues—the R1500R used coffee roaster mini-plant. With a massive 300 kg (660 lb) batch size, this Probat roaster can churn out roughly 1,800 kg of medium roast or 1,200 kg of dark roast per hour without breaking a sweat.

And the full equipment set? Absolutely stunning—and huge. The photos and video say it all. This machine is built for nonstop, industrial-scale roasting power. Feed it green coffee as fast as you want…the R1500R simply answers, “Keep it coming.”

The second “R” in the name means recirculating air, which boosts efficiency by redirecting hot exhaust air back into the drum. This turnkey package includes the roaster, cooler, control panel, loader, destoner, afterburner, plus all ducting and chimney.

Special Bonus on this one: Comes with a Buhler "Sortex" plant automation system!

The current owner had a change in plans no longer needing. It's ready to head to its next roastery. Runs on natural gas, 480v // 3-phase, it's fully crated and ready to ship.

Available for in-person inspection. 

Reported that new units running around $1.5M and a 2.5-year wait, this Probat coffee roaster price is a fraction of the cost and IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE. No doubt that this one is a rare, immediate opportunity. You just don’t find machines like this on the used market.
