conduction. Controlling these three heat transfer modes ensures a stable and reproducible roasting
environment, ultimately enhancing the quality and consistency of the roasted coffee beans.
Productivity and Efficiency Improvements
The collaboration between SCAP and RoasTronix (Stronghold USA) will offer numerous productivity benefits for
coffee farmers, such as:
Increased Productivity – The S8X offers accurate temperature sensing, enabling fast consecutive roasting.
Additionally, its unrivalled cooling speed returns the roasted coffee to room temperature in just 90 seconds,
enhancing productivity within its class.
Efficiency and consistency – With automated replication roasting, the S8X achieves unparalleled quality by using
multiple temperature sensors.
A Win-Win Partnership for a Sustainable Future in Coffee Roasting
The strategic alliance between the Specialty Coffee Association of Panama and RoasTronix (Stronghold USA)
signifies a step forward in creating a sustainable, innovative, and environmentally friendly coffee roasting
industry in Panama. Global buyers of Panamanian coffees can look forward to a product with enhanced quality
