Services

Roasting equipment advisory services

Targeted consulting engagements for industrial roaster evaluation, installation planning and payback modelling — delivered remotely or from our Ramsay studio on 1st Street SE.

Sample roaster bench used during remote equipment spec consultation

Remote Spec Consultation

Video-based equipment spec review for roasting companies evaluating drum roaster options. We walk through manufacturer data sheets, compare batch capacity and heat exchanger specifications, and answer technical questions about roast profile development constraints. Ideal for founders in early capital planning who need engineering-direct guidance before a site visit. Sessions are 90 minutes with a written summary of recommendations.

C$450–C$850 per session

On-site equipment audit and installation planning

On-Site Equipment Audit

Our consultants visit your roasting facility or planned installation site to assess ventilation routing, electrical capacity, production line layout and existing sample roaster workflow. The audit produces a gap analysis against your target green-bean throughput and identifies retrofit requirements before equipment purchase. Available across Alberta and by arrangement in other Canadian provinces.

C$1,800–C$3,600 per audit

Payback modelling sprint with ROI calculator workbook

Payback Modelling Sprint

A focused one-week engagement building your ROI calculator with transparent assumptions. We input your projected volume, green coffee cost, energy rates and labour model to produce payback period estimates and sensitivity charts. This is capital planning support — not a guarantee of financial returns. Deliverable includes an editable workbook for ongoing scenario testing.

C$2,200–C$4,100 per sprint

Curated industrial roaster shortlist comparison

Roaster Shortlist Delivery

Receive a curated shortlist of three to five industrial roaster models matched to your batch size requirements, budget tier and installation constraints. Each entry includes normalized spec comparison, indicative capital expenditure range and notes on heat transfer characteristics relevant to your roast curve goals.

C$1,400–C$2,900 per shortlist

Launch timeline coordination for micro-roastery setup

Launch Timeline Coordination

Project management support for micro-roastery setup milestones — equipment order lead times, mechanical contractor scheduling, regulatory submissions and commissioning windows. We maintain a shared timeline so your roasting launch stays on track without the confusion of overlapping vendor commitments.

C$3,200–C$6,500 per engagement

Post-install calibration review on production drum roaster

Post-Install Calibration Review

After your production drum roaster is commissioned, we review initial roast curves, airflow settings and batch consistency data. The review identifies tuning opportunities for development time control and documents baseline parameters for your roasting team. Includes a half-day on-site or remote session with written findings.

C$1,600–C$3,200 per review

Installation planning session for roasting equipment layout

Installation Planning

Site-ready before commissioning day

Industrial roaster installation failures are expensive — wrong exhaust sizing, insufficient electrical load or poor production line flow can delay your roasting launch by months. Our installation planning service reviews drawings, coordinates with mechanical contractors and validates equipment footprints against your facility constraints.

Airflow Design

Ventilation and heat transfer review

Proper airflow design is critical for consistent roast profile development and operator safety. We assess cyclone placement, chaff management, afterburner requirements and ambient heat load — ensuring your roasting equipment performs to spec sheet ratings in real operating conditions.
