  • Huky 500 Coffee Roaster





    Introduction
    Here's the Huky 500 stovetop manual coffee roaster (with the solid drum conversion). This roaster joins the ranks of other Taiwanese/Chinese active-ventilated drum coffee roasters that have been coming out of this region over the last few years. What makes this particular drum roaster more unique is that it's designed to used with an external portable stove burner roaster shown on top of burner as a heat source rather than providing its own (e.g. internal electric heating element). The roaster is not as much a consumer appliance, but rather a scaled down full-manual roaster similar to Quest M3. Pricewise, the Huky 500 is competitive to the Quest M3 and the Hottop P and roughly 1/3 the price a the Mini 500 (a recent quote hit the 3 grand mark plus shipping).

    The Hukly 500 consists of primarily four components: the drum roaster itself (which includes a geared down DC motor to rotate the drum), an exhaust pipe, a bean funnel, and then finally an external 6-inch metal-blade rotary fan with the bean tray resting on top. The exhaust funnel interconnects the main roaster with the ventilation fan and includes a damper that is used to control airflow. The funnel serves a dual purpose: initially as a bean funnel that fits in the roaster chimney where the bean charge is delivered, and second as an adapter that connects the exhaust pipe to the exhaust fan. That fan itself is also dual purpose in that it provides active ventilation for the drum and also cools the beans after they are dumped. The fan is fixed speed and is quite powerful.

      Hi there!!!


      The price stated is wrong unfortunately..

      To quote Kuhano=
      £648 Huky 500
      £102 Shipping to U.K
      £60 Ceramic burner-what colour are these?(Attach.)
      £35 K-Type Thermometer.
      £ 9 Extra K-Type Probes
      £10 Extra analogue dial thermometer

      £60 Extra drum
      £24 72 RPM Motor-are these motors (Input AC 230 V output DC 24volt).
      Do not propose using the variable voltage to change the speed,Because will cause the speed to be unstable and the
      torsion is reduced.
      £24 Extra fan-Are these AC 230v .
      £8 Cooling grill
      £36 Exhaust (do not include duct)
      £18 Per meters of duct.


      Answer your question as follows:
      What is the cost of an additional analogue dial thermometer? ----------There is one in Huky500
      Why do you not recommend 3 holes for probes/thermometers?--------If you want, refer (attach diagram.jpg) I can do it for you.
      Can the 'u' bend in the pipe-----------------------------------------------------------Can't
      Also is it possible to have the front plate/bean door side of the roaster to have a straight cut edge at the bottom-by the feet? instead of a curve?no problem if not. -----------------------------------------------Impossible.
      Do you have to tip the roaster forward to remove beans?-------------------Seldom.
      or do all the beans come out with the roaster horizontal?-----------------Most of the same level.
      Can the heat shutter be moved at all to the front?------------------------- Impossible.

      Best Regards,

      Kuanho Li


      Hope that helps!!!!

      Great looking machining !!!


      I didn't buy one in the end though!!
