Frank’s Designs for Peanuts, LLC – Finish roaster being used at the Project Peanut Butter facility in Sierra Leone, Africa

This finish roaster is for the final roasting process before use as snacks or the making of peanut butter. It is a simple drum design that is easily filled after removing a panel in the drum. After the roasting process is complete, the peanuts are dumped by removing the same panel used to fill the drum and rotating the drum to let the peanuts gravity flow out. They then fall into a cooling table top that has been placed on a dolly made to go under the discharge. This cooling table top can then be placed on the cooling table base to cool while the next batch of peanuts are starting the roasting process in the roaster.
