Title: rpm Cooler
Post by: doveguy1 on February 02, 2009, 06:29:22 PM

has anyone made a cooler that stirs the bean during cooling, if so or maybe not, what rpm should it turn? slow but how slow?

I didn't time it but the bean coolers on the Dietrich 22lb roaster I saw in action recently was not much faster than the Stir Crazy... 

I was thinking of ways to have the roasting bed under the TO be the cooling bed and I was thinking of using the same 60 (ish) rpm speed everything else seems to be at....

I saw one made from a 6 rpm rotisserie motor.  I keep thinking about trying that myself.

6rpm is pretty close to what my ambex turns at...allthough it may be more like 10.  I'll have to measure it next time I roast.
