Excellent example of a vintage Whitmee roaster in very good condition.
This was purchased in 1946by 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.

The Füllfix works volumetrically (on a volume basis).
You therefore also need a calibrated scale to set and check the filling quantity.
Simple manual machine for dosing coffee beans or other similar free flowing products.
To operate the pneumatically operated system, 6 bar of compressed air is required and additional 3-Phase current (400V-50Hz.) is required for the Vibro-Füllfix.
It comes with a Foot Pedal switch for dosing out the coffee once the bag is in position below the funnel.
Product: Roasted Whole Bean Coffee.
You can easily set the Füllfix to a different filling quantity in minutes without any complicated programming.
No matter whether granules, pellets, grains, or other dry bulk goods: The Füllfix filling machine packs it up.
Simple, inexpensive, fast.
This is an inexpensive alternative to the filling scale.
With the practical volume dispenser "Füllfix" from Kornkraft, filling becomes child's play: With this manual filling system, you can conveniently fill, for example, nine x 500 gram bags with freshly roasted products in just one minute, precisely, quickly and reliably
Filling is now easier and quicker. Once set, you can fill e.g. coffee to the nearest six grams with each pull. This means you can easily fill up to nine bags per minute
Filling funnel: 60 dm³ capacity Tolerance: +/- 6 grams (coffee) for 1 kg bags +/- 4 grams (coffee) for 500 g bags Output: 9 x 1 kg coffee per minute
