Probat P12 Coffee Roaster: Precision for the Next Stage of Growth
A growing specialty roastery in India reaches a point where sample roasters can no longer keep pace with wholesale orders and café demand. The Probat P12 coffee roaster is built for that exact transition — from batch experimentation to dependable, repeatable production.
Probat has built drum roasters since 1868. The P12 carries that legacy into a commercial-grade machine designed for medium to large-scale roasting operations, specialty roasters, and artisanal cafés scaling their own production.
Engineered for consistency, not guesswork
Every roast on the P12 is governed by even heat distribution and accurate temperature control, so a batch roasted on Monday tastes like the batch roasted on Friday. The drum’s infinitely adjustable heating lets a roaster hold a stable profile from charge to drop, rather than fighting temperature swings mid-batch.
What the Probat P12 gets right
- Even heat distribution and accurate temperature control across every batch
- Cropster connectivity for detailed logging and roast replay
- Simultaneous roasting and cooling for faster turnaround between batches
- Digital time and temperature display for straightforward, day-to-day operation
- Probat’s own software automation system for seamless roast sequencing
Concrete engineering, not brochure claims
Drum Roasting Technology
Infinitely adjustable heating keeps roast curves stable from first crack to drop, regardless of batch size.
Chaff Separation
A separate cyclone pulls chaff away from the roasting chamber, keeping the drum and cooling tray cleaner between batches.
Mixing Mechanism
A dedicated shovel mechanism keeps beans in constant motion for uniform mixing and even roast development.
Power & Fuel Configuration
Configured for Natural Gas with 110/120V power, built for roasteries planning a gas-fed setup.
Software & Data Logging
Probat’s automation system manages the roast sequence, while Cropster integration logs every batch for replay and analysis.
Footprint & Placement
A comparatively compact footprint for its output class allows flexible positioning on medium to large roastery floors.

Café counter or roastery floor?
The Probat P12 is not a home-bar machine. Its scale and gas configuration point it firmly at specialty coffee roasters, artisanal cafés running in-house roasting programmes, and roastery businesses supplying wholesale accounts. Home enthusiasts and micro-roasters exploring their first setup should look at smaller sample roasters; the P12 is built for operations that already know their volume and need consistency batch after batch.
What scale of roasting is the Probat P12 designed for?
It is built for medium to large-scale roasting operations — specialty roasters, artisanal cafés, and roastery businesses rather than home use.
Can the Probat P12 run on electricity alone?
The machine is configured for Natural Gas with 110/120V power for controls and mechanisms, so a gas supply is required alongside the electrical connection.
Does the Probat P12 work with roast-logging software?
Yes. It connects to Cropster for detailed batch logging and roast replay, alongside Probat’s own automation system.
How much maintenance does the Probat P12 need?
Daily: clean the chaff collector and check the roasting chamber. Weekly: inspect electric and gas components. Monthly: adjust airflow and temperature sensors. Clean the cooling tray and roasting chamber after every use, and ensure all parts are fully dry before storage.
Can I roast different bean varieties and roast levels on this machine?
Yes. The infinitely adjustable heating and precise temperature control are designed to accommodate different bean varieties and a range of roast levels.
Built for roasteries ready to scale
The Probat P12 coffee roaster suits specialty roasters, artisanal cafés, and roastery businesses that need dependable, repeatable batches at medium to large volume — not a first machine for home experimentation, but the natural next step once volume and consistency start to matter.
