RC-Sample 100 — Electric micro-batch roaster
C$4,200 – C$6,800
The RC-Sample 100 is our entry sample line for origin evaluation and roast-curve prototyping. Batch capacity runs from 100 g to 250 g with PID-controlled charge temperature and integrated bean-temperature probe logging. The compact footprint suits cupping labs, importers, and roasteries building single-origin profiles before committing to production batch sizes. Drum speed is variable via stepped motor control; airflow adjustment uses a manual baffle with marked positions for repeatability. Data export supports CSV and common roast-log formats. Electrical requirement is 240 V single-phase, 30 A — standard for commercial kitchen circuits with appropriate breaker sizing. The stainless drum and chaff tray detach for cleaning between micro-lots. Ideal for teams cupping three to six origins daily who need consistent development ratio tracking without occupying the production drum.

RC-Sample 500 — Gas & electric sample platform
C$8,500 – C$14,200
The RC-Sample 500 scales sample work to 500 g batches with optional natural-gas or propane burner modules alongside a full electric variant for facilities without gas service. Charge temperature reaches 450°C bench-rated with afterburner-ready exhaust collar. Variable drum speed, trier port, and colour-meter mount points align with production drum workflows so profile translation from sample to floor is straightforward. Integrated data logging captures rate-of-rise, first-crack timing, and development percentage. The line ships with a cooling tray and cyclone chaff separator sized for daily lab use. Gastown demo units run both fuel types — book a showroom slot to compare flame response against electric element ramp curves on the same green lot.

RC-Drum 5 — Direct-fire production drum
C$28,000 – C$42,000
RC-Drum 5 targets craft roasteries moving from sample scale to wholesale and retail production with nominal 5 kg batch capacity. Direct-fire burner with modulating gas valve, variable drum speed, and three-position airflow baffle provide the control surface for origin-forward roasting. Insulated drum shell reduces heat loss during charge; faceplate trier and bean probe ports accept industry-standard sensors. Exhaust outlet sized for municipal venting consultation in BC and other provinces. The crated unit includes drum drive motor, control panel, and baseline safety interlocks. Typical install pairs with RC-Log Pro data hardware for roast curve archival. Suitable for roasteries roasting 200–400 kg per week across four to eight single-origin SKUs.
Line 04
RC-Drum 15 — Indirect-heat production drum
C$58,000 – C$78,000
RC-Drum 15 delivers 12–15 kg batches via indirect radiant heat — preferred by roasters prioritising even development on dense, high-elevation greens and extended post-first-crack phases. The heat exchanger chamber isolates combustion gases from drum contact while maintaining responsive charge temperature adjustment. Dual bean probes, drum speed automation presets, and integrated afterburner option support higher-volume facilities with strict emissions requirements. Footprint requires dedicated pad, three-phase electrical service, and engineered exhaust stack. Commissioning includes calibration roasts and operator orientation on development ratio targets. This line serves established roasteries scaling subscription, café wholesale, and private-label channels across multiple Canadian markets.

RC-Green Pro — Destoner, silo & weigh bundle
C$12,000 – C$35,000
Pre-roast infrastructure reduces charge variance and protects drum surfaces from stone damage. RC-Green Pro bundles destoner units, pneumatic or gravity-fed silo modules, and load-cell weigh hoppers sized to match RC-Drum batch targets. Configurations range from single-origin silo pairs for micro-lot rotation to multi-bin systems with RFID lot tracking hooks. Destoner throughput aligns with hourly production targets on 5 kg and 15 kg drum lines. Moisture-aware storage options include hygrometer feeds for inventory alerts. Installation integrates with existing green receiving workflows — sample retention drawers and dust collection ports included on mid-tier bundles. Essential for roasteries sourcing multiple origins weekly who cannot afford batch-weight drift or foreign material incidents.
Line 06
RC-Bench Suite — Colour, trier & cooling tools
C$2,800 – C$9,600
RC-Bench Suite closes the loop between roast log data and cupping table feedback. Agtron-style colour meters with calibration discs, stainless trier sets, rapid cooling trays with variable fan speed, and chaff collection upgrades compose configurable bundles. Colour data exports alongside roast logs for development ratio verification. Cooling tray dimensions match RC-Sample and RC-Drum discharge chutes for workflow continuity. Bench mounts and Railtown workshop fabrication options available for custom layouts. Roasteries treating sensory evaluation as a production KPI benefit from consistent post-roast colour targets tied to origin specifications. Add-on probe kits and spare trier blades ship from Vancouver stock.
