+ Can I simply install the solar in my business premises?

While in many business premises a simple connection to an existing exhaust air pipe is possible, there are also cases where this is not possible. In the past, a complex, expensive, bulky exhaust air system usually had to be installed, which was then accompanied by requirements, maintenance costs and - quite simply put - numerous associated worries and headaches for you.

Fortunately, there is the Avirnaki. This revolutionary composite filter is a rollable device on which you can place the shop roaster. Smoke and odour produced during roasting is sucked in, cleaned and released back into the room as filtered air. So you do not need a chimney, chimney sweep and the like. And like the solar, it is also very easy to use and clean. In short: Yes, you can roast in your business premises. Anytime, anywhere, very simple. And without smoke.

+ What are the advantages of independent shop roasting?

1. Quality One thing is certain, regardless of the brewing method: good, well-made coffee tastes good. Roasting in your own shop will give your product its own seal of quality. You send a clear and visible message to your customers that you take good taste seriously and know what you are doing: That you are a professional player in the coffee market. Just like in restaurants or bakeries with glass production, you can be proud to refine a raw material in front of your customers and later sell it by the cup as a delicious elixir or by the bag for the "home brewer".

2. Freshness and maturity One of the most important aspects is the maturity of the roasted coffee. By producing on site, you can always keep the best quality ready for your customers and also react to special requests at short notice. Roasted coffee ages in a very short time. With the solar, the next batch is only a push of a button away.

3. Product costs Green coffee costs less than roasted coffee. Buy better qualities and pay less for upbeat products. And most people know this: home-made products enjoy trust and reputation among your customers. As soon as you make something yourself, you will sell more of it.

+ Is the shop roaster loud?

Believe it or not, it is quieter than a conventional microwave.

+ How does the automatic roasting with the solar?

The Solar is a machine made up of different, carefully thought-out elements that work together synergistically. Three electric heating elements are precisely arranged around a perforated roasting drum. The built-in circuit board with the roasting software controls the roasting process. Contrary to the widespread orientation on time, in the WEBA-roast shop roaster the temperature is used as a reference for control. During the roasting process the solar uses four different types of heating: Conduction, convection, radiation (infrared radiation) and thermosyphon.

The WEBAroast shop roaster is the only shop roaster that combines the two different heating methods of drum conduction and hot air convection during roasting, and combines the best of both methods.

While roasting is in progress, the solar activates a so-called fluidised bed roasting every two minutes for exactly six seconds. For this purpose, a radial fan installed under the roasting chamber is activated, which compresses the air in the drum and forces the hot air into the bean bed. This compensates for differences in bean size, density and moisture in the green coffee. This is why our shop roaster is so good at not only roasting pure parcel coffees, but also at producing so-called blends as green coffee blends (or cuvées).
