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.

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.
