THE SAN FRANCISCAN 25 POUND COFFEE ROASTER Model SF-B and SFB-I

The San Franciscan is American made. Parts can be purchased in the USA.
There are no metric conversions.
The roaster is a continuous batch roaster - it roasts and cools at the same time; therefore you can do four roasts per hour (100 lbs).
Maintenance is easy and simple. The pipes are exterior and can be taken off to clean by removing the band clamps. Cooling tray detaches easily for cleaning.
Maintenance is very minimal - lubrication of bearings every 30 days.
The cooling sweep pivots off of lifetime bearings so no lubricating is necessary.
The chaff cyclone is in the cylinder which sets behind the roaster, making it much easier to clean
With the design of our ash tray on the front of the machine, broken beans can be removed easily.
The San Franciscan has four identical 1/3 hsp. motors -

• Cooling tray sweep (which is pivoted off 2 lifetime bearings)
• Drum sweep
• Hot air fan
• Cooling fan

The San Franciscan is ETL approved (all electrical components meet the Electrical Testing Laboratory regulations).
The San Franciscan is equipped with a hot air damper for hot air flow control through the roaster chamber.
The roaster lights automatically and the burner is easily seen through a sight hole.
Our roasters are powder coated. The powder is baked on at 425 degrees which makes the surface very durable.
The San Franciscan is made 100% of a schedule 40 steel (no cast iron which is non-forgiving of either being heated too quickly or cooled off too quickly and is brittle and subject to breakage.
Roasting time is 13 to 15 minutes.
The face plates are 5/8ths inch steel.
We use well-known American made motors, sprockets, etc.

• Baldor
• Morris
• Martin Bearings
• Honeywell components

The afterburner on the model SF25B-I is an integral part of the roaster so another piece of equipment is not necessary. The afterburner is situated in the upper portion of the round cylinder. The chaff is collected in the lower 20% of this cylinder. The San Franciscan is very showy and classy, with lots of brass (no plating).

Regarding physical size, the roaster is 8' long x 3' wide and needs an area of 10' x 12' on which to sit.

Our large 6" diameter elbow pipe that runs along the bottom of the roaster pedestal and up along the chaff cyclone in the back is a cooling air passage way pipe. The fan it is connected to is sucking and blowing only room temperature air. Under everyday operations, this pipe will not exceed 150 degrees.

SUGGESTED INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS

There should be a minimum of 36" clearance completely around the machine.
The vent piping should be a class A, UL Approved, 8" inside diameter. The temperature rating should be no less than 1,400 degress continuous duty and 2,100 degrees intermittent.

Electric requirements:

• The machine is fused with 20 amp. main fuses.
• A 30 amp. power source to the machine will be more than adequate.
• 220 volt, 3 prong grounded plug-in.

Gas line requirements:

• If not more than 30', 3/4" black gas piping will be adequate; otherwise, check with your local gas company. Tell them the actual footage from the meter to your new roaster and that you need to be able to operate an appliance that will consume 2lbs of gas per hour at 7 water inch columns of gas pressure.

 

The roaster should be bolted with 4 1/2' floor anchor bolts. A roped off or fenced in operating area is suggested.

NOTE: Skin surfaces of afterburner can reach temperatures of 150 degrees F.

Also note that all of Coffee/PER, inc. manufacturer's suggested installation requirements are just suggestions. All federal, state and local codes do take precedence over any of our suggested installation requirements.
