We have worked with Yoshan Coffee Roasters to optimize their coffee roaster for cocoa.  

Looking for consistent, hands-on results with flexibility to match your scale? The Yoshan Cocoa Roaster (4 kg) is built for ambitious makers and wholesale operations alike. With the ability to handle small or larger batches (1 to 4 kg per roast) and efficient output (up to 12 kg/hour), this machine welcomes both electric and gas heating—complete electric, LPG, or natural gas, whichever your setup demands.

Direct hot air and semi-direct fire mean you get wonderfully even development, with control at your fingertips thanks to a reliable Omron PID panel and dual temp display. You’re not left guessing! The two-layer 304 stainless drum keeps things food-safe and heat-resistant, while post-roast cooling finishes a batch in just a minute or two. Whether you’re after precision or practicality, this roaster's broad 0–500°F range, energy efficiency, and robust design offer the kind of reliability and flexibility we look for on the production floor.

You want to walk the line between craft and commercial? This is your workhorse.

In addition to the 4 kg capacity model shown here, many other sizes are available.    Please inquire if you want details on one of those.
