The TP-UG180 Industrial Coffee Roaster 180KG is a gas-fired roasting machine that processes 180 kg of green coffee per batch, with a roast time of 20-30 minutes per batch. Model TP-UG180 sits at the top of the TP-UG range, using a fully indirect heating system with an imported RIELLO burner and a heat-resistant concrete combustion chamber built for continuous factory-scale roasting.
What Is the TP-UG180 Industrial Coffee Roaster 180KG?
The TP-UG180 is a 180 kg-class industrial coffee roaster designed for the largest coffee manufacturers, export processors and factories running continuous, high-volume production. Like the TP-UG60 and TP-UG120, it uses 100% indirect heating and a RIELLO (Italy) burner, paired with a concrete-lined combustion chamber, scaled up to the largest batch size in the lineup.

Key Features of the TP-UG180 Coffee Roaster
1. Air-Cushion Roasting Drum
The air-cushion drum distributes heat evenly across a full 180 kg batch. A specially designed agitator-blade system minimizes scorching at this scale, producing roasted beans that 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. RIELLO Burner with 100% Indirect Heating
The TP-UG180 uses a RIELLO burner imported from Italy, known for high durability and clean, complete gas combustion. Because heating is 100% indirect, the flame never contacts the beans directly, giving even heat distribution across the largest batch size in the range and supporting precise control over aroma, acidity, bitterness and aftertaste.
Burner highlights:
- RIELLO burner, imported from Italy, high durability
- Complete gas combustion with no leftover gas smell
- Fast aroma development after roasting
- Gas-saving 100% indirect heating method
3. Heat-Resistant Concrete Combustion Chamber
The combustion chamber is built from heat-resistant concrete, providing the structural durability required for sustained, high-temperature operation at maximum production capacity.
4. Rapid Cooling System
The stainless steel 304 cooling tray and cooling fan bring the large batch down in temperature quickly after roasting, preventing residual heat from continuing to roast the inside of the bean. The system also draws chaff and smoke out of the roasting room. The tray runs on a three-phase LiMing gear motor, and the cooling fan is from Trantechno.
5. Simple Operation with Temperature Control
Built-in sensors and a temperature control system keep the machine easy to operate despite its industrial scale. A compact control cabinet sits beside the body, and in-drum sensors support consistent results batch after batch.
6. 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
- Hanyong temperature controller and Omron timer
- Taiwanese ignition unit and gas control valve
- Thanh Dat electrical wiring, with power cable included
7. Stainless Steel Hopper
The round, cone-shaped stainless steel hopper holds a full 180 kg batch of green coffee for easy, hygienic loading.
Operating Costs: Gas and Electricity
The TP-UG180 uses about 3-3.5 kg of gas per 100 kg of green coffee (at 10-12% moisture) and roughly 2 kW of electricity per hour, keeping energy cost per kilogram low even at the top of the range.
