This is a vintage G-series Probat roaster, with built-in cyclone/chaff collection under the cooling tray.

It was refurbished in 2022 and has had new LPG Propane burner jets fitted, new temperature probes for connecting to artisan software and new cooling tray drive gear fitted. It has also been repainted.

The owners have now switched to wood roasting only, so this is now surplus to requirements.

It has only had a few roasts carried out on it since it was refurbished, so is still in excellent condition.

It is all working correctly and available immediately for sale.

Location: South West England

Excellent example of a vintage Whitmee roaster in very good condition.

This was purchased in 1946 by  H R Higgins and installed at their roastery in South Molton Street where it remained in production until 1986 serving many tons of coffee to customers in Mayfair, London.

It was then moved and placed in dry storage at their roastery in Waltham Abbey and later moved to another roastery in Whitby last year.

The roaster comes complete with everything on the pallet as shown in the photos.

It has no belts or chains, but does come with the original burner and gas train and also a lever for turning the cooling tray arms on and off.

It could be brought back into production quite easily, but it no longer comes with the cyclone or destoner.

It would make an ideal show piece for a roastery or coffee shop or put back into production.

Excellent value vintage roaster and very rare to find one in such great original condition.

The line is in good working condition and is available immediately.

It comes complete Cyclone and Afterburner positioned above.

Also includes a Destoner supplied by Giesen which has been extended in height to accommodate a long outfeed conveyor that conveys the beans across the factory to a handling area for storing and packing.

It is fitted with a Maxon Gas train and has been upgraded with a reduction motor on the drum drive shaft at the back of the roaster which has replaced the original gearbox.

It is set-up to run on Natural Gas and requires 3 Phase electrical supply.

The cooling tray has been removed ( as per photos) as a new drive motor was being fitted at the time of the inspection.

It has had very little use since it was refurbished, as it was used as back-up roaster to another Probat 120 on site, at times when this was offline due to maintenance and servicing.

The roaster and ancillary equipment is all in very good condition.

Excellent Value roasting line.

These grinders were in full production up until July 2025.

All in good worknig condition.

Currently in storage in Yorkshire.

They were set-up for filter coffee and ran in conjunction with a twin-head jenco infeed mounted to a gantry above with rails to allow the dosing head to slide from left to right to feed each grinder. The jenco comes complete with vacuum pipes and two lances for transporting whole beans from a bulk hopper/bins at ground floor level to the grinders below. The jenco system and ganty are less that three years old.

These are very robust reliable coffee grinders with various grind settings from Coarse to Fine grinds.

They require little or no maintenance and will grind upto nearly 200Kgs per hour each if required.

They do not require water cooling due to the size of the burrs, which means they grind slowly generating lower heat in the process.

They are ideal for filter coffee grinds.

They are available for sale together or individually.

Excellent value grinders available immediately.
