The TP-BRO12 Compact Coffee Roaster 12KG is a gas-fired roasting machine that processes 12 kg of green coffee per batch, producing 36-48 kg per hour with a roast time of 15-20 minutes per batch. Model TP-BRO12 extends the TP-BRO compact line to a higher-volume batch size, keeping the same air-cushion drum design and purpose-built gas burner system for roasteries and cafés needing more daily output.
What Is the TP-BRO12 Compact Coffee Roaster 12KG?
The TP-BRO12 is a 12 kg-class compact coffee roaster designed for established roasteries, cafés with high-volume in-house roasting, and small producers supplying wholesale accounts. It uses a heat-resistant drum, a hybrid direct/indirect heating method, and a fast cooling system, in a compact steel frame with an easy-to-operate control cabinet.

Key Features of the TP-BRO12 Coffee Roaster
1. Air-Cushion Roasting Drum
The air-cushion drum spreads heat evenly around the beans, even at 12 kg batch size. A specially designed agitator-blade system minimizes scorching, so roasted beans come out bright and glossy. The drum uses high heat-resistant material for a longer service life and is available with single-layer or double-layer heating.
2. Purpose-Built Gas Burner System
The burner system is engineered specifically for coffee roasting, so roasters can shape aroma development, acidity, bitterness and aftertaste. It also keeps gases generated during roasting, such as NOx and COx, and other impurities to a minimum.
Burner highlights:
- Imported burners from Taiwan, Italy, Europe and South Korea for high durability
- Complete gas combustion with no residual gas smell
- Fast aroma development during roasting
- Gas-saving hybrid heating (50% direct, 50% indirect)
3. Fast, Effective Cooling
The stainless steel 304 cooling tray and cooling fan cool beans quickly after roasting to prevent carry-over roasting inside the bean. The system also collects chaff and smoke and vents them out of the roasting room. The tray is driven by a three-phase LiMing gear motor, and the cooling fan is from Trantechno.
4. Easy Operation and Precise Temperature Control
Sensors and a temperature control system are built in, and the compact control cabinet sits beside the machine body. Temperature sensors inside the drum give real-time readings for consistent, repeatable roast profiles at higher daily volume.
5. Quality Branded Components
- Toshiba drum gear motor
- Trantechno heat and cooling fans (Italy)
- LiMing cooling-tray motor
- LS magnetic contactors
- Idec power switch, push buttons, relays and emergency stop
