RK Cooler Basic

Buying Advice:

There are many methods to cool your beans, but this cooler should be used if you are looking for a clean, easy and attractive way to cool your beans.  Looks professional, built to last and works really well at cooling your beans after the roast, while separating chaff and collecting it in a separate tray.  Note that this cooler does not have automatic stirring vanes as on the deluxe unit, but is in turn more economical.

Method of Operation and Features:

Utilizing a High-Powered cooling fan, the unit is capable of moving 1300 Cubic Feet of air per minute through the hopper.  This method, utilizing suction pulls the heat and chaff from the coffee as it is poured into the top hopper.  This unit has been gauged successfully with 6Lb's of coffee, removing all heat to ambient in 3 minutes, and removing all chaff if stirring is employed.   8Lb cooling is very capable with slightly increased cooling times.

Upon reaching the desired temperature, a latch is flipped and the coffee is unloaded with the handle via tilting the hopper over manually to unload in a container of choice.

While the unit is split, the chaff collection screen is exposed.  It is recommended to remove the chaff after each unloading via forced air or vacuum.

The basic unit is a more economical option for those who need all the functionality but without all the bells and whistles.

The unit stands approximately average mid-thigh height to promote ease of use and comfort.

The cooling fan is a continuous-duty, high temperature fan that robustly fits this application and will provide years of day-to-day operation.

The basic unit also employs caster wheels so that it can be rolled from storage and used.  The wheels lock so that mild inclines will not be a problem.

A heavy duty stainless power switch is employed on the unit's side to power on.

With a lifetime warranty on structure, 1 yr on motors/fans....the all-welded 304 stainless construction lives up to the RK reputation of quality and durability.
