Abstract

Bengkulu Province is one of Indonesia's top coffee producers. However, coffee processing is still done traditionally. Therefore, modern processing is required, particularly in the roasting process, which is vital in deciding the flavor of the coffee. This study aims to design, build, and test a low-energy coffee roaster with a capacity of 2 kg. The components of a coffee roaster are designed according to the demands and relevant standards, such as drum volume, drum material, shaft size, pulley size, belt, burner stove, and motor parameters. The coffee roaster is then tested by altering the distance between the fire holes to 10, 15, and 20 mm with a diameter of 3 mm, as well as varying the rotating speed of the drum to 60, 65, and 70 rpm and varying the coffee varieties, namely Robusta and Arabica. The testing of coffee roasting equipment with a capacity of 2 kg went smoothly. The results show that the ideal distance of the stove burner hole to attain 200 °C was discovered at a distance of 10 mm and a distance of the stove to the drum of 10 mm with a time of 17.24 minutes. For Robusta and Arabica coffee beans testing, the light roast should be roasted for 10 minutes. The medium roast requires 15 minutes of roasting time. And the dark roast requires a 20-minute roasting process. Furthermore, the rotating speed of the drum has little influence on the character of roasted coffee beans

Abstract

Coffee, one of Indonesia's largest commodities, is often processed using traditional methods and tools that rely heavily on manual labor and can be labor-intensive. To make the coffee roasting process more efficient and reduce the need for human effort, a coffee roasting machine can be used. This study aimed to analyze coffee roasting drums using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to determine the optimal drum thickness and rotation speed in a coffee roasting machine. The study considered three different thicknesses (1mm, 2mm, and 3mm) and three different rotation speeds (60rpm, 65rpm, and 70rpm). The coffee roasting drum was modeled using CFD. The study's results showed that a drum thickness of 2mm and a rotation speed of 70rpm achieved the best heat distribution during roasting, reaching the desired temperature in 900 seconds. This information could be used to design a more efficient coffee roasting machine or improve the performance of existing machines.
