Roasting | Machines & Equipment | Food
Roasting is a method of cooking raw ingredients using dry heat. The product being roasted is enveloped completely in hot air using some form of enclosed oven, which provides for a very even heating. This can be further enhanced by adding rotation or tumbling of the oven or the product inside the oven. Roasting is used to take raw ingredients to a state where they can be used in a final product (such as with coffee or cocoa) or to enhance the flavour of products through caramelization and surface browning (as with nuts).
Vekamaf is experienced in providing the latest roasting technology to the food processing industry, with particular expertise in equipment used for roasting cocoa, coffee and nuts. We partner with the leading manufacturers of roasting equipment to ensure that we always have access to new developments. We work with our clients to fully understand their product roasting challenges, and to deliver solutions that can seamlessly integrate with their existing production lines.
