Toper TKM-SX 240 Gas: Commercial Coffee Roaster Specs

If you’re running a high-volume coffee roastery and need a machine capable of processing hundreds of kilos per hour without compromising control, you’ve likely come across the challenge of finding a roaster that balances throughput with flexibility. Industrial-scale coffee roasting isn’t just about speed—it’s about consistency, heat application, and fuel options that suit your operation. What machine can handle 240 kilograms in a single batch while giving you options for light or dark profiles without excessive downtime?

The Toper TKM-SX 240 Gas commercial coffee roaster is built to roast 240kg of green coffee per batch. Light roasts take around 10 minutes, while dark roasts extend to approximately 15 minutes. The machine achieves an output of 1440kg per hour for light roasts and 960kg per hour for darker profiles.

Batch Capacity and Roast Profiles

The TKM-SX 240 Gas handles a single batch size of 240kg of raw coffee beans. Depending on the roast level, cycle times vary significantly: around 10 minutes for a lighter roast and up to 15 minutes for darker roasts. These times reflect standard commercial practices where lighter roasts require a shorter, more intense Maillard phase, while darker roasts demand extended time for development and colour.

Production Output and Heat Application

This machine achieves a production throughput of up to 1440kg per hour when roasting lightly, and 960kg per hour for darker roasts. The TKM-SX 240 uses a hybrid heating system classified as semi-hot air (also referred to as semi-direct flame) and hot air convection. This allows for precise control over heat transfer during various stages of the roast—critical for developing complex flavours whether you're aiming for a bright Ethiopian Yirgacheffe or a bold Sumatra Mandheling.

Fuel Options and Dimensions

The roaster is compatible with multiple fuel sources including bottled propane gas, natural gas, and diesel. This flexibility makes it adaptable to different facility setups worldwide. The physical footprint is substantial: 570cm in length, 390cm in width, and 350cm in height, with a total machine weight of 4000kg. Such dimensions and mass ensure stability during the roasting process but require adequate space and structural support.

Electrical Requirements and Mechanical Specs

Power input supports a range of voltages: 110V, 220V, and 380V, with frequency compatibility at 50–60Hz, and accepts both single-phase and three-phase electrical systems. The electrical load is rated at 8.35 kilowatts with a current draw of 19.49 amps. The roaster operates using five motors to drive various components. Color options include black, red, or custom finishes, and the exterior can be specified in chrome, brass, or copper finishes for aesthetic or branding alignment.
