Hi eveyone!.
With washed coffees I have the problem that the ror drops a lot, since I would like a more stable ror at the end of the roast.
What do you advise me to do?
thank you so much.

We need more info. What roaster are you using? What are you doing with heat and air setting as you progress through the roast?

I have a 5 kilo TKMX-5 toper
At minute 4" I put the flame at 50% and at minute 6" I put the flame at 30% and I begin to open the air to more than half and at minute 7" and 8" I open it completely and to finish in minute 9" under a flame on 15%.

One thing I would do is change your right axis. Based on your ROR maybe make the max 15C. You will have a steeper curve that you can evaluate better.

Then read about and learn how to use Analyzer in Artisan. See the Quick Start Guide.
The line it makes can give you ideas on where to adjust gas or air in future roasts.

What do you mean by increasing the right axis? At the maximum temperature rise of the ROR ?? I have tried but I have never been able to go above 11c•or 12c.
Perdón pero llevo poco tiempo tostado café.
Sorry, but I haven't been roasting coffee for a long time.

I don't mean when roasting. Your maximum right axis in Artisan is 25°C and I'm suggesting reducing it to 15°C.

I've already changed it.
I think I would have to keep the flame high longer to maintain the temperature.
How about ?

Well go read the Artisan Blog article on Analyzer. An MSE BT of .02 is really quite good and I am not sure the average person could taste the difference in the coffee.

Where your BT starts to rise above the line you maybe had too much heat but it is right after FCs and that is somewhat normal. Since you haven't said what gas and air changes are being made (hint read the QSG on how to add those), it's hard to advise on what to do at the end.
