IV. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ATTENTION
Professional installation is required. Your Yoshan Roaster is designed for ease of installation and simplicity
of operation. Read these instructions completely before starting installation. Your local building authority
should be contacted to obtain local codes and installation requirements before installing your roaster.
Upon receipt of your roaster immediately check for crate damage. Do not refuse shipment if damage is
evident. Make notes of damage on the appropriate shipping forms and take photos. Uncrate and look for
damage to the roaster; i.e., dents, scratches or chipped paint, and if found, immediately file a claim with the
appropriate freight carrier.
Locate the roaster where operation and coffee roasting can be observed in natural light or under consistent
light conditions. Natural light is essential for best results when observing the true color changes coffees
undergo during roasting. The use of a full-spectrum fluorescent light to simulate the full color of sunlight is
recommended for consistency in roasting.
After uncrating your roaster, if it becomes evident that movement may be hindered while moving it to its
installation location, detach and remove the cooling bin.
2. LEVELING
The floor must meet weight-bearing requirements of local codes. Refer to the specifications chart for floor
bearing weights.
3. PROXIMITY TO WALLS
DANGER
Clearance from the roaster to adjacent walls, counters or other appliances must be at least 18-inches (46
cm) or greater to ensure adequate cooling of the roaster and adjacent walls.
Failure to abide by required clearances will void your Yoshan Warranty. No cabinets or storage areas are to
be installed over the roaster or near the ducting.
Make sure all controls, access doors, and inspection panels are accessible and can be opened without
restriction.

V. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
1) Electrical Connections
-Please ask for some responsible technicians for any of electrical components you have with this
machine in case of any needs.
-Please check the main electrical line if it is ok for using the Machine first. There are many different type
electrical sources which run with in different voltages and Hz like 100/110/208/220/380 volt, 50-60 Hz
and Single – Three Phase options. If the Machine’s voltage not matched, voltage regulator will be
needed for the transforming. For electric heating type of roaster, due to high power, suggest to connect
the Machine to the leakage protection switch for safety concern, instead of directly plug into regular
outlet.
2) Exhaust Condition
-Place your coffee roaster in a place where you can install the exhaust pipe. Please note shorter exhaust
distances make for ideal air-flow condition.
2. Installation
* When installing an afterburner: Do not install it near a fire source! Duct made of heat-resistant
material is required.
1) Preparing a table
Do not use a table with drawers, which has an empty space inside and
causes sound to reverberate due to the vibration generated by the roaster.
- Prepare a table with a size at least 1200(W)*500(L)*720(H)mm and a capacity to withstand the load
specified on the unit. A folding type portable table cannot be used.
Place the exhaust motor on Plug the cable into the port at
top of Cyclone Collector the back of the Roaster
5
4) Connect Roaster and Chaff Cyclone Collector with exhaust pipe
Fixed with Clamps
6
6) Duct Work (Exhaust facility)
Combustion occurs in this equipment and it should be installed in a dry place with good ventilation as
close as possible to a wall so that a shorter exhaust pipe can be used. It is also recommended that the
exhaust pipe used is exclusively for roasters to maintain quality and safety. Caution should be used in
the case where the duct is connected to the central exhaust system as it may negatively affect the
exhaust flow and inlet temperature during roasting due to the change in the exhaust impedance.
- Drilling holes in the wall
Diameter of the exhaust pipe is Ø85mm. Location of the center of the holes recommend 1600mm above
the floor. In the case they are required to drill in the wall or glass, contact a specialist after checking the
material.
-The construction cost of external exhaust pipe work is not included in the equipment price and it is
required to install it separately at your own expense prior to the roaster installation. Heat-resistant and
corrosion-resistant material should be used for safely. It is recommended to install the equipment using
an exhaust pipe with a length shorter than 4m, if possible, and when an exhaust pipe is longer than 10m
an additional blower must to be used.

VI. OPERATIONS
1. General Information
1) User
This machine must be operated by users who have experience with roasting coffee. Please contact your
distributor or a representative of PROASTER for more information regarding training.
2. Pre-roasting Checklist
1) Green Beans
- Please identify the moisture content and unique characteristics of the green beans.
* Moisture content differences will affect the roasting results.
3) External Environment
-Weather: If the weather is cold or humid condensation may occur in the machine and therefore it is
important to sufficiently warm up the machine prior to use.
-Ventilation: Plenty of oxygen is required to have quality combustion and flame.
Please ensure that there is good ventilation and airflow near the machine.
-Moisture Warning: In the summer, avoid the A/C air currents from blowing on the machine. Please limit the
distance that is installed outside of the building. Having too much of the installation outside may cause an
influx of moisture and condensation.
4) Exhaust
- Cleaning: Failure of cleaning can lead to a blockage in the blower/exhaust flow which restricts the cooling
ability of the machine and will affect the taste and aroma of the beans in addition to creating a hazard.
Therefore please check the machine thoroughly prior to roasting to ensure airflow.
5) Roasting Level
- Prior to roasting determine the purpose of the beans (Hand Drip, Espresso, Use in a Blend) and adjust the
roasting style accordingly.
8
- There are three main categories of roasts: light, medium and dark. Specifically can be further divided into level
as below chart. Here we will just simply introduce about the three main categories.
*Light roast
the most common variety of coffee roast. A light roast coffee bean undergoes roasting until what ’s called the
“first crack”, which is the first stage of coffee bean expansion, which actually alters the structure of the bean.
Light roasted beans reach an internal temperature of 180°C – 205°C (356°F – 401°F), where at near
205°C/401°F, the beans pop and expand, considered the beans’ first crack.
*Medium Roast
Medium roasted beans have reached internal temperatures between 210°C (410°F) and 220°C (428°F),
which is after the end of the first crack and right before the start of the second crack. The medium roast beans are
medium brown in color and offer a sweetness that comes from the heat and roasting that causes a bit of
caramelizing.
*Dark Roast
Coffee beans that are considered dark or full roast are in the roasting until what’s called the“second crack”. The
roasted beans have been processed into the beginning or middle of the second crack — around 225°C (437°
F) to 230°C (446°F). Dark roasts definitely have a thicker “roasted” quality in their flavor profile and can run
from slightly dark to nearly charred. And have less caffeine concentration than lighter roasts.

Step 7.
When you are ready to discharge the roasted beans,
press cooling button and mixing button to make the
cooling tray work first. Then discharge the roasted
coffee beans by pushing the Weighted Door Lever up
and opening the front of the drum.
The cleaning schedule we recommend (See Cleaning and Maintenance Schedule at the end of this
manual.) should be used as a guideline. Your specific roasting style, coffee, and climate will affect the
time between cleaning.
Poor airflow can result in a build-up of flammable gases in the roaster as well as the exhaust ducting.
Residue also insulates the ducting from within, resulting in higher internal duct temperatures.
Restriction of airflow anywhere in the system (including exhaust ducting) will create a build-up of
residue/creosote in all airflow passages. This build-up directly affects the performance and efficiency of the
roaster. To prevent excessive residue build-up, the airflow system requires periodic cleaning. Establish a
cleaning schedule that is proportional to the amount of coffee roasted, taking into consideration the type of
coffee and the degree of roast, as well as your specific climatic conditions.
The seasonal climate of the region will greatly affect the amount of cleaning required. A moist, humid
climate requires more frequent cleaning of the roaster than a hot, dry climate. A moist, cold climate or
coffees with excessive moisture create severe condensation. The moisture will adhere to the roaster's internal
components and exhaust duct causing build-up to accumulate faster.
The types of coffees and degree of roast will also influence the amount of cleaning required. Some
geographic regions are known for their dark roasted coffees. With darker roasts, more oils come to the
surface of the bean, which in turn contributes to more oil in the exhaust smoke. The oily smoke adheres to
all surfaces it comes in contact with. If more coffee is roasted dark rather than light, more frequent cleaning
is required.
Natural or unwashed coffees (i.e., Indonesians) have much more chaff on the bean than washed (i.e., Central
and South American) coffees. If more unwashed coffees are roasted than washed coffees, the chaff box,
burner tray and cooling bin will require more frequent cleanings.
Decaffeinated coffee has almost no chaff on the exterior of the bean so if a fair quantity of decaf is roasted
light, the chaff box will require very little cleaning. Decafs are usually roasted dark and oily, so duct
cleaning will require more attention.
Painted surfaces which have oxidized can be cleaned with a light abrasive paste (Maguire’s Mirror Glaze is
recommended and available at most auto parts stores). Use caution when using abrasive products since they
will actually remove paint. The view windows, chute, and agitator assembly (in cooling bin) are easier to
clean while they are still warm from roasting heat. For polishing brass or stainless parts, use only a polishing
compound made for these types of metals.
14
Maintenance of the machine should be done at least once in one year.
When a cleaning is needed, a fabric can be used with a little alcohol. Please ensure that any health
threatening material should be avoided while cleaning such as diesel oil etc.. Even the surface of the
machine should not be washed. Just use a wet fabric. Dry it very well.
If you want to roast different products please make some cleaning in order to prevent any aroma, oil etc..
mixture.
The manufacturer is not responsible for problems relating to improper maintenance and cleaning.
Periodical Maintenance
Greasing the front and back part of the drum : every 120 days

utilizing a sharp point to clean out the perforated holes.
DANGER
Keep your roaster and ducting clean from inside the roaster to its termination outside of the
building. Failure to do so may result in fire. Accumulated chaff and oil residues are extremely
flammable.
EVERY 4 HOURS
After every 4 Hours of continuous roasting, remove the chaff and broken beans from the drum chaff tray
located directly under the drum.
1. DAILY
Perform a general cleaning, inside and out, checking for residue build-up. To maintain cleanliness standards
and general appearance, regularly clean the outside surfaces of the roaster.
2. EVERY 40 HOURS
To reduce the potential for fire, clean and remove the coffee chaff from the lower compartment or
cyclone at the end of the day’s roasting.
After 40 Hours of roasting, perform a thorough cleaning of all compartments. Perform a service check of all
components in the roaster including the blower impeller. After 150 hours of roasting, clean the collector duct.
