FUJI ROYAL R-110: 10kg Direct-Fire Coffee Roaster

If you’re roasting more than a few kilograms of coffee a week, you need equipment that can handle volume without sacrificing control. Many roasters hit a wall when scaling up: either they lose the hands-on feel of smaller machines, or the setup becomes too complex. For those needing consistent, high-quality roasts at a small-commercial level, the right 10kg roaster makes all the difference.

The FUJI ROYAL R-110 is a 10kg-capacity, direct-fire (with semi-hot-air option) coffee roaster that includes a built-in exhaust fan — a rare standard feature in its class. At 320kg, it’s built for regular high-volume use while offering precise flame control, strong airflow adjustment, and easy-to-read digital displays.

What Is the FUJI ROYAL R-110?

The FUJI ROYAL R-110 is a 10kg-capacity coffee roaster that uses a direct-fire heating system, with an optional semi-hot-air mode. Its dimensions are 1000×1800×1800mm (W×D×H) and it weighs 320kg. This model is part of the FUJI ROYAL small-series line — the only one in that series to come standard with a dedicated exhaust fan.

Key Features and Controls

The R-110 is equipped with a digital thermometer for clear temperature monitoring, a gas pressure gauge critical for flame adjustment, and both push-button ignition and an over-temperature shutoff for safety. It also includes an emergency gas shut-off button. The standard exhaust fan allows for fine-tuned airflow adjustment, aiding in better control of the roasting environment, especially during larger batches.

These features make it easier for roasters to manage the crucial variables of roasting — especially air flow and heat application — even at this scale. The visibility and control offered by the digital and analog gauges help maintain consistency, whether you’re roasting a single 10kg batch or multiple throughout the day.

Design and Safety Systems

Beyond performance specs, the R-110 incorporates several design elements aimed at safe, reliable operation. The roaster uses a specially engineered gas burner system. Key safety features include:

• Push-button ignition for simple startups
• An automatic gas shutoff if the set temperature is reached (overheat protection)
• An emergency gas stop button for unexpected situations
• A standard exhaust fan to manage smoke and chaff

These systems are meant to reduce operator error and improve day-to-day safety, particularly in a busy roasting environment.

Heating Options

The R-110 defaults to a gas-fired direct-flame system, which provides intense, direct heat transfer — a favorite among roasters who want hands-on control over the Maillard reaction and first crack development. But it also offers flexibility: the machine can be adapted to use infrared, far-infrared, or even charcoal heating sources. These options allow for different roast profiles and experimentation with traditional or alternative heat applications.

Note: While the base model is gas-direct fire, the availability of alternate heating methods depends on configuration and additional setup.

Fuji Royal’s Legacy in Small Commercial Roasters

The FUJI ROYAL brand has built its reputation over fifty years with a range of small-capacity roasters: 1kg, 3kg, 5kg, and now 10kg models. The R-110 continues that lineage, incorporating decades of feedback to create a machine that’s approachable for newer roasters yet robust enough for daily commercial use. The 10kg model is the largest in the “small-series” line, and the only one with a standard exhaust fan — a significant advantage for ventilation and heat management.

Users report that roasts from FUJI ROYAL machines often produce vibrant, well-developed beans with attractive colouring — a sign of controlled roasting. Many appreciate that the learning curve is gentler compared to industrial machines, making it a solid choice for specialty-focused micro-roasters scaling up.
