Neuhaus Neotec RFB Roaster

the verdict

the rfb is neuhaus neotec's core fluid bed platform, covering batch sizes from 30 kg to 240 kg depending on configuration. it's fully automated with plc control, recipe storage for up to 21 profiles, and a touchscreen interface with live process visualization. the roasting chamber has no moving parts, so maintenance focuses on fans, burners, and cyclones rather than drums or bearings. energy efficiency comes from high recirculation rates and optimized insulation, which matters when you're running multiple batches per hour. heat source options include gas, electric, and hydrogen. this machine is built for consistency and throughput in high-volume settings where downtime costs serious money. it's not a machine you buy for exploratory small-batch roasting or manual profile adjustments on the fly. it's a workhorse for operations that have dialed in their profiles and need to repeat them at scale.
