G45 RETRO

The G45 retro holds a special place in the KIRSCH + MAUSSER product range. Manufactured in the classic retro design of the UG retro and equipped with the key technical features of the G roasters, the G45 retro combines an elegant design with enhanced functionality even in its standard version. Furthermore, additional options such as pneumatic operated opening flaps on the bean container, roasting drum and cooling sieve outlet allow for convenient operation of the roasting machine. As standard, the G45 retro roaster is also equipped with a manual control system via pushbuttons. A semi-automatic or fully automatic control system with touchscreen is optionally available. All control options ensure safe processing of green and roasted coffee.

If you are reaching the capacity limits with your UG retro but still want to process smaller batches, the G45 retro – with its flexible drum volume between 20 and 55 kilograms – is the ideal choice.

BENEFITS FOR YOUR COFFEE

Special vanes inside the roasting drum that were specially developed for the G45 retro ensure that the coffee beans are mixed evenly during the roasting process, producing a homogeneous final product. In addition, the G45 retro offers the following benefits:

• Frequency converter to adjust roasting air volume
• Precise airflow thanks to the traditional “flavor wheel”
• Intensive cooling
• Powerful fans
• Reproducible product quality
• Independent drives for the drum, stirrer, and roasting and cooling fans
• Additional separate cooling sieve outlet
• Easy to clean thanks to large maintenance openings
• Reduced dust emissions thanks to additional cooling exhaust air cyclone
• Frequency converter to adjust drum rotation speed (optional)

CONTROL

All of the G45 retro roasters are equipped with thermocouples as standard to document the roasting supply air, product, and exhaust air temperatures. The basic version is controlled manually. Alternatively, the G45 retro roasters can be equipped with semi- or fully automatic controls via a touch panel.
