This has been running successfully for the last 40plus years with the current owner.

It has stopped production 12 months ago due to Covid.

It is a classic G- Series model with double walled drum and a nice lever to open and close the front discharge door.

It is set-up to run on LPG Propane gas and requires 3-Phase electrical connection.

We are advsied it does require some attention to the wiring and the gas pressure may need resetting.

It could be easily upgraded with temperature probes and USB Bridge to connect to either Cropster or Artisan roast profiling software through an iPad/ iPhone/Tablet/PC/Laptop, if required.

Overall this is a good quality classic G-series vintage model Probat roaster, available immediately for sale in the UK.
