Peanut roasting machine supplied in Cameroon

Our company recently supplied a Peanut Roasting Machine to a customer in Cameroon. A leading agro-processing company in Cameroon, specializing in premium peanut-based snacks and oils, recently integrated our industrial peanut roasting machine into their production line.

Facing growing demand for consistent, high-quality roasted peanuts in local and regional markets, the client sought a reliable solution to optimize roasting precision and scalability.

Challenges

Variable raw material quality. Peanuts sourced from local farmers had fluctuating moisture levels (due to Cameroon’s tropical climate), leading to inconsistent roasting results.
Market demand for diverse products. The client needed flexibility to process multiple peanut varieties (white, safflower, in-shell) with uniform quality.

Solution: our peanut roasting machine in action

Adaptive batch processing
- For moisture adjustment, operators performed 1-2 trial roasts per new batch, using data from the rotating drum’s temperature sensors to calibrate heat settings.
Precision roasting by variety
- Programmed time presets ensured optimal results:
  - 25 minutes for delicate white peanuts (popular in snack products).
  - 40 minutes for robust safflower and in-shell peanuts (used for oils and bulk sales).
- Operators sampled peanuts mid-cycle via the rotating cage access port, verifying color and aroma to prevent under- or over-roasting.
Streamlined automation
- The forward/reverse drum control allowed seamless batch transitions:
  - Reverse mode discharged roasted peanuts automatically, minimizing downtime.
  - Forward mode reloaded raw peanuts immediately, sustaining continuous output.
Climate-resilient design
- The machine’s insulated heating chamber countered Cameroon’s high humidity, stabilizing roast consistency.
- Post-roast cooling fans prevented clumping, critical for preserving texture in tropical conditions.

Results & feedback

30% increase in daily output. Automated workflows reduced manual labor and accelerated batch turnover.
98% product consistency. Trial roast data aggregation eliminated moisture-related defects, boosting customer satisfaction.
Market expansion. The client now supplies three new peanut varieties to retailers, leveraging the machine’s versatility.

Client testimonial

“This roasting machine transformed our operations. The preset programs and moisture calibration tools saved us hours of guesswork. Even during Cameroon’s rainy season, we achieve perfectly roasted peanuts every time. The technical team’s training on sampling and data tracking was invaluable!”
