Collection: Yoshan

Why Choose Yoshan?

Yoshan sits in a unique position in the roasting world: a true industrial manufacturer capable of building coffee roasters from 1 kg sample machines all the way up to 300 kg industrial systems, while still giving small roasteries and cafés access to the same engineering DNA. Since 1990, Yoshan has focused on one thing—finding the best technical solutions for coffee roasting and processing—and today is the only company in China able to produce roasters larger than 100 kg, a testament to its engineering depth and manufacturing scale. For Coffee Plus customers in India, Yoshan brings European‑style semi‑hot‑air drum roaster performance, Siemens PLC touch control, and CE/RoHS/ISO9001 certified quality to capacities that make sense for boutique roasteries and ambitious cafés. When you choose Yoshan with Coffee Plus, you are not just buying a machine; you are investing in professional‑grade roasting infrastructure that scales with your business.

Yoshan Coffee Roaster Range

Yoshan’s core range spans from compact 1 kg systems for boutique roasteries up to 6 kg cast‑iron machines, with technology and construction that mirror much larger industrial roasters. The DY‑1kg electric/gas roaster, for example, has a batch capacity of 200–1300 grams, with a production output of roughly 4–6 kg per hour after preheating to around 180°C, making it ideal for micro‑roasteries, café roaster‑bars, and serious training labs. Heating options include full electric, LPG gas, or natural gas, giving Indian operators maximum flexibility depending on their site permissions and utility constraints, while the 0–300°C temperature range, semi‑hot‑blast plus half direct‑fire roasting method, and adjustable airflow allow nuanced control over drying, Maillard, and development stages. A heat‑resistant double‑layer 304 food‑grade stainless steel drum, powered by a 60 W drum motor, delivers stable agitation and excellent thermal stability.

For roasteries ready to step up capacity, the YS‑6kg cast‑iron drum roaster extends the same design philosophy to 1–6 kg batches, with roasting output of 18–28 kg per hour, depending on desired roast level and turnaround time. Like the 1 kg systems, it supports LPG, natural gas, or full electric heating, using semi‑fire semi‑hot‑air roasting that blends conductive and convective heat for classic drum‑roast flavor development and even bean color. Cooling times across the range remain fast—typically 1–2 minutes thanks to dedicated cooling tray fan motors around 50 W and strong hot‑air fan motors—allowing back‑to‑back roasting with minimal downtime. This makes Yoshan especially suitable for Indian roasteries managing tight production schedules but needing consistent quality across multiple daily batches.

Yoshan Controls, Automation & Accessories

At the heart of Yoshan’s modern range is the control system: Siemens PLC touch‑screen panels and/or robust button‑based control layouts depending on model and configuration. Smaller DY‑1kg and 1.5 kg Pro models can be equipped with Siemens touch screens that show key parameters—drum temperature, exhaust temperature, burner status, fan speed, and roast time—while larger systems often combine tactile buttons with PLC screens for dual‑mode control. The SD‑1.5 kg Pro, for example, is described as a high‑end fully automatic coffee roaster with Siemens PLC touch control, supporting gas, natural gas, or full electric heating, and offering batch capacity of 1–1.8 kg with hourly output around 4.5–7 kg. Many configurations are Artisan‑compatible out of the box, enabling roasters to log curves, monitor rate of rise, and build a data‑driven roasting program from day one.

On the mechanical side, Yoshan roasters integrate features often found only on high‑end European machines: variable drum speed, variable fan speed, powerful standalone cooling fans, integrated chaff cyclones, and carefully designed hot‑air pathways. A dedicated cyclone unit—typically around 20 kg for 1 kg systems—handles chaff separation, keeping exhaust stacks clear and improving safety while making post‑roast cleanup faster. Double‑layer drum construction (304 stainless for DY‑1kg, cast iron double layer on SD‑1.5 and larger cast‑iron models) improves thermal inertia and evenness of heat transfer, while semi‑direct fire plus hot‑blast design delivers the kind of caramelization and sweetness roasters associate with classic drum roasters.

Revolutionary Technologies / Innovation

Yoshan’s innovation is less about headline‑grabbing gimmicks and more about serious engineering where it matters: drum design, heating architecture, airflow management, and industrial‑grade control systems. The semi‑hot‑blast, half direct‑fire roasting method used across many models combines a carefully engineered burner placement with adjustable airflow to blend radiant and convective heat, allowing roasters to shape roast character with fine control over air temperature, heat application, and bean contact time. This hybrid approach gives more flexibility than pure hot‑air systems (which can taste “baked” if mismanaged) and more consistency and efficiency than old‑style full direct‑fire drums.

On the controls side, integration of Siemens PLC systems, Artisan software compatibility, and full metric readouts across 0–300°C temperature bands makes Yoshan machines inherently modern platforms. Roasters can log each batch, compare curves, adjust gas or electric power in real time, and understand how modifications to charge temperature or airflow impact rate of rise and development—a level of technical feedback that older, analog‑only machines simply do not provide. Yoshan’s ability to apply these systems consistently across scales—from 1 kg through 6 kg and up to 15 kg and beyond—means roasteries can grow without changing their core control philosophy; roast logic learned on a DY‑1kg carries directly to a YS‑6kg or 15 kg production roaster.

Yoshan Heritage / Innovation Legacy

Yoshan’s roasting journey began around 1990 under the DYYS umbrella, with a focus on solving technical challenges in coffee roasting and post‑processing rather than simply selling re‑branded machines. Over three decades, the company expanded its capabilities to produce roasters ranging from 1 kg laboratory systems to massive 300 kg industrial roasters, serving micro‑roasteries, national brands, and industrial clients. Along the way, Yoshan achieved CE, RoHS, and ISO9001 certifications, evidencing adherence to international safety, environmental, and quality‑management standards.

Importantly, Yoshan is now acknowledged as the only company in China capable of producing coffee roasters larger than 100 kg, a feat that demands extensive in‑house engineering, fabrication, and testing capacity. This industrial heritage trickles down into every smaller machine: even a DY‑1kg destined for a boutique roastery in India benefits from the same design philosophy and manufacturing discipline that enables 300 kg industrial roasters to run safely and consistently in demanding environments.

Why Yoshan Stands Out

Compared to many small‑capacity roasters in the market that are essentially “home machines” repackaged for light commercial use, Yoshan approaches even its 1 kg and 1.5 kg roasters as professional equipment. Features like double‑layer drums, integrated chaff cyclones, Siemens PLC panels, and multi‑fuel heating options are rare at these capacities from other manufacturers, especially at Yoshan’s price‑to‑spec ratio. For Indian roasteries seeking a roaster that can actually scale production, Yoshan’s engineering DNA—borrowed from much larger industrial systems—means a 1 kg roaster behaves like a “mini production machine” rather than a toy.

Against established European brands, Yoshan differentiates through capacity options and value. While European machines often command a price premium for brand heritage, Yoshan offers comparable features (semi‑hot‑air roasting, advanced controls, industrial build quality) with more flexible configurations around gas, electric, and voltage requirements, particularly beneficial in diverse power environments like India. For Coffee Plus customers, this means access to serious roasting hardware without overpaying purely for badge value, freeing up capital for green sourcing, packaging, and brand building.

Who Yoshan Is Perfect For

Yoshan is ideal for aspiring and established roasteries in India that need a 1 kg to 6 kg platform to launch or expand their brand. For a small roastery doing 20–40 kg per day, a YS‑6kg cast‑iron drum roaster running 18–28 kg per hour provides enough headroom to grow without immediately upgrading equipment, while still being compact enough for urban roasting spaces. These operators value reliability, repeatability, and the ability to integrate Artisan logging—not flashy aesthetics or over‑complication.

Roaster‑cafés and ambitious specialty cafés also benefit from Yoshan’s 1 kg and 1.5 kg platforms. A DY‑1kg or SD‑1.5kg Pro roaster allows cafés to roast their own house espresso, single origin filters, and occasional microlots on‑site, creating a visible differentiation against cafés serving commodity beans. With batch capacities from 200 g up to around 1.8 kg and per‑hour outputs of 4–7 kg, these machines can cover the daily needs of a busy café running one or two house coffees, especially when combined with Coffee Plus’s green coffee program and profile support.

Training labs, coffee academies, and consultants will also find Yoshan attractive. The combination of clear control panels, Artisan integration, and robust mechanical design makes Yoshan roasters ideal teaching tools for roasting theory, curve interpretation, and practical roast development. Rather than dealing with fragile home roasters, educators can use Yoshan machines that mimic the behavior and control surfaces of true production roasters, giving students transferable skills they can carry into professional roles.

Technical Excellence and Quality Assurance

Yoshan’s roasters are built with heat‑resistant double‑layer 304 food‑grade stainless steel drums on 1 kg models and cast‑iron double‑layer drums on higher‑end and larger systems, combining durability, thermal inertia, and even heat distribution. Drum motors, hot‑air fans, and cooling fans are dimensioned generously—60 W for drum motor, 50 W for cooling fan, 45 W for hot‑air fan on DY‑1kg—ensuring mechanical stability and robust airflow even under continuous operation. Gas‑type roasters consume around 0.13–0.25 kg LPG per hour at capacity, while electric models deliver 4 kW+ heating power (around 4190 W for 1 kg), both optimized for 12–20 minute roast cycles with 1–2 minute cooling.

Compliance with CE, RoHS, and ISO9001 standards, combined with 1‑year manufacturer warranty (extendable in some configurations) and 24/7 lifetime phone and online tech support from Yoshan’s side, demonstrates serious commitment to quality and aftercare. Machines ship in film‑wrapped wooden cases, with chaff cyclone units and control panels packaged separately where needed, minimizing transport damage risk and ensuring installation alignment. For Coffee Plus customers, this translates to roasters that arrive ready to be commissioned and trusted as core production assets, not experimental gadgets.
