besca

Besca manufactures gas-fired drum roasters from their base in Nanjing, China, established in 2014. their lineup runs from 500g sample roasters to 240kg production machines, all built around the same modulated premix burner system and double-wall drum design. the smaller shop machines (BSC-1 through BSC-6) use manual flame and airflow control with profile logging through USB connections to Cropster or Artisan. larger models offer full automation with touchscreen control. build quality leans toward heavy construction and high thermal mass, which several Japanese roasters have noted in public feedback. the company positions itself in the mid-market space: more substantial than entry-level Chinese machines, less expensive than European equivalents. suitable for roasters who want manual control with data logging capability and don't need factory automation. the premix burner system provides fine flame modulation across the range. cooling times are quick relative to batch size. gas consumption specs are published and reasonable. they've gained traction in Middle East and Asian markets over the past few years.
