Ball roasting technology is probably the oldest industrially used roasting system for nuts. But even today this technology convinces with the best aroma development compared to other roasting processes for nuts or oilseeds.

As a sphere, the roasting ball represents the ideal body for the even application of heating energy to the nuts. Inside the roasting ball, the roasted product is gently moved by a mixing system and thus experiences optimum energy transfer at all times through the heating energy by hot air.

A key advantage of the UBRS roasting system is the accessibility of the roasting ball. The system is equipped with a pivoting front section that, at the end of roasting, allows the nuts to be conveyed into the cooler which is installed directly under the machine. The pivoting front door can be opened for maintenance and cleaning. This allows inspection and any necessary cleaning of the inner roasting ball.

The roasting plant can be heated using either fossil fuels or saturated steam. Even heating with electrical energy is possible.

OVERVIEW

The roasting system UBRS

The roasting system UBRS works in batch mode. This gives the necessary flexibility to roast different nuts or oilseeds. The system is heated either by an oven with an industrial burner or an air-steam heat exchanger. The exhaust air is cleaned using cyclones or filters.

OVERVIEW

The roasting system UBRS

The structure of the roasting plant UBRS is realized in a compact design. The cooler of the system is located directly under the roaster. As a result, the space requirement is very small.

OVERVIEW

The roasting system UBRS

A special feature of the UBRS roasting system is the swiveling front section for emptying the roasting ball at the end of the roast. Two pneumatic cylinders open the front section to discharge the nuts into the cooler. The entire front section is swiveling for maintenance.

HIGHLIGHTS

Roasting system UBRS

Here are the highlights of the roasting system UBRS:

  • Optimum aroma development in the nuts or oilseeds
  • Due to the spherical shape, an absolutely even energy distribution is given
  • Compact design
  • Easy maintenance and cleaning
