Toper TKM-SX 60 Gas: Specs for 60kg Coffee Roasters

If you’re sourcing a commercial-grade gas coffee roaster built to handle volume without sacrificing roast control, the kind that pros rely on for batch after batch, you need specifics—not marketing claims. How much green coffee can it actually roast in a single batch? How fast? What’s the energy draw? And how does its design influence roast development?

The Toper TKM-SX 60 Gas is built for high-capacity roasting: 60kg of green coffee per batch, with light roasts taking around 10 minutes and dark roasts around 15 minutes. It achieves throughput of 360kg per hour for light roasts or 240kg/hour for darker profiles.

What Is the Toper TKM-SX 60 Gas?

The Toper TKM-SX 60 Gas is a 60-kilogram-capacity commercial coffee roaster designed for drum-based, semi-direct-fire (also called semi-hot-air or semi-direct flame) roasting with optional full hot-air capability. It’s engineered for mid- to large-scale production environments where consistency, durability, and flexibility in roast profile are essential.

Production Capacity & Roast Speed

This machine handles a single batch of 60kg of green coffee beans. Depending on roast level, cycle time varies significantly:

• Light roasts: approximately 10 minutes per batch
• Dark roasts: approximately 15 minutes per batch

Throughput scales with roast intensity:

• Light roast production: up to 360kg per hour
• Dark roast production: up to 240kg per hour

Roasting Method & Heat Source

The TKM-SX 60 Gas employs a combination of conductive heat transfer via the drum, convective heat from airflow, and direct flame exposure—classifying it as a semi-direct-fire (or semi-hot-air) roaster. It also supports full hot-air roasting configurations. Heat is supplied by either bottled liquefied petroleum gas (LPG, often referred to as “”) or piped natural gas.
