Recently, our factory workshops are ablaze with activity as we work overtime on a custom-made coffee roaster for an Algerian customer. This equipment, incorporating precise temperature control technology and localized design, will help North African coffee-producing regions achieve large-scale production of premium roasts and demonstrates the rapid responsiveness of Chinese coffee equipment to the needs of the African market.

Algeria, a major coffee consumer and processor in North Africa, boasts beans characterized by rich, nutty flavors and low acidity, placing extremely high demands on roasting temperature stability. This customized roaster features a dual closed-loop temperature control system with an accuracy of ±0.3°C, precisely targeting a medium-dark roast range of 190-210°C—a temperature that brings out the beans’ caramel sweetness while preserving their distinctive spice notes, perfectly suiting the flavor profile of the region’s mainstream coffees.

The equipment has undergone numerous optimizations tailored to Algeria’s power supply conditions and operating habits. Equipped with a wide voltage range adapter (200-440V), it can cope with power grid fluctuations. The user interface supports bilingual switching between Arabic and French, and features 10 built-in roasting profiles tailored for Algerian coffee beans, ranging from light to dark roasts, with one-click access, making it easy for even novice operators to quickly master the process. To adapt to the dry climate, the equipment has also been upgraded with an upgraded hot air circulation system to prevent uneven roasting caused by low humidity.

At the production site, the technical team rigorously controls the production process: the 316 stainless steel drum is mirror-polished to prevent beans from sticking; the heating tube power tolerance is controlled within 5W per meter to ensure uniform heating. After assembly, the equipment will undergo a 72-hour continuous operation test to simulate the ambient temperature and voltage conditions of Algeria, ensuring rapid production upon arrival. “Seeing the Chinese factory working overtime to fulfill our order and making so many adjustments to local conditions gives us confidence in our partnership,” the customer said during a video call to check on the production progress. Algeria’s coffee processing relies heavily on imported equipment, which is not only expensive but also suffers from delayed after-sales service. The roaster’s commissioning will increase the plant’s daily production capacity from 500 kg to 2 tons, and its stable roasting quality will allow it to enter the European market.

To ensure on-time delivery, the logistics team has pre-booked the shipment. The equipment will be packaged in modular packaging, with core components individually reinforced. A detailed installation guide and a spare parts kit will be included. Engineers will arrive in Algeria to provide on-site installation, commissioning, and technical training.

This expedited production, spanning mountains and seas, is not only a commitment to fulfilling the order but also a deep connection between Chinese coffee equipment and the African coffee industry. We will continue to innovate with customization to bring the aroma of African coffee to the world through intelligent manufacturing in China.
