Hi All,

Everything at the roastery is coming together fairly well, i have been exploring into some other roasting devices which arent drum roasters so that we could have two separate methods of roasting.

Here is where i would really appreciate your help, i would like to build this roaster from scratch : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niEE6-L_SZc

Would really appreciate if someone can throw me into the right direction.

I guess to begin with, i would need polyunsaturated glass, heat gun, blower, far infrared heater.

The question i have is how did he manage to make such a brilliant control panel?

How did he manage to cool the beans?

Some help here would really be appreciated.

Thank you
Abhi

Someone?

I've got something for you. I'll send you a pm.

In the Comments, he says the glass is from a gas lamp, so probably borosilicate glass. Cooling is accomplished simply by cutting power to the heater and letting the airflow cool the coffee.

Thanks Andy

That was very help

Any idea what should the control panel be made out of?

Thanks

Thank you bodka coffee

Alright this is where i am stuck now.

I plan to get an infrared hair dryer and use that as my heat source.

The issue is how do i get a controller to control and fan and the heating element separately?

Any thoughts?

I do not have enough knowledge of electricity to answer that. I guess it would depend on the specs of the heater, the fan and the power source.

So i have decided to use the Master PH-1400

Adjustable air flow from 4 to 16 CFM (113 - 453 l/min.) Not Sure if that would be enough

Dial-in temperatures in 10° increments from 130°F to 1000°F. (50°C to 540°C) displayed in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius

LCD with digital display of temperature and air flow settings
