US Roaster Corp 3KG Datalogging upgrades

Thanks for the replies! Looks like the phidget 1048 is the way to go. I'm going to order one and the probes from Omega as well

US Roaster Corp 3KG Datalogging upgrades

I recently purchased a used ~2006 USRC 3KG roaster with the autoroast setup. I would like to be able to use Artisan on it to track my roasts but the setup USRC has is around $550. Has anyone else upgraded their USRC? Or offer any insight into best probes and controllers to use with Artisan?

2kg Electric roaster

The pics of the coffee tech solar roaster were a big help. I am planning on buying the same Delta vfd that is on the FZ-94 but I haven't narrowed down a blower yet. I have been looking at a few daytons that are 3 phase and high temperature. My current exhaust blower is 95cfm but the next one will

2kg Electric roaster

I have been doing some experimenting with my roaster before I decide to modify it. First, it's obvious that the manufacturer just took a gas roaster and put heating elements in it. The doors on the side of the roaster that open to access the elements have the same size openings as their gas model. M...

2kg Electric roaster

The machine is a white label roaster I imported from China. It had favorable reviews that stated it was very well built for the price. Also, the bearings and motor are Japanese and the thermocouples are German. None of that really matters since the engineering and understanding of how a coffee roast...

2kg Electric roaster

I've been roasting on my 2kg electric roaster for about 3 months and have nothing but issues with it. When I purchased the roaster gas wasn't an option but now it is and I'm thinking about modifying the roaster. The main issue that I have is the lag time of the heating elements. They have a response...
