What is the drum material of W600i SE made of and what is the thickness ?

Drum made of SUS 304 perforated drum, with 2mm thickness

What is a perforated drum ?

Perforated drum means that the drum walls are perforated so that hot air from the fire can enter through the holes directly.

What is meant by indirect heat ?

Direct heat and indirect heat are the layout of the fire where direct heat is the location of the fire directly in contact with the dru, either a perforated drum or solid drum.
Indirect heat is the opposite. The location of the fire is not directly in contact with the drum.

Which one is better between a perforated drum and a solid drum ?

Every machine is designed in a way that the whole system of the machine is measured by its performance. Solid drum has heat insulating properties better than perforated drum, which is perfect for chasing batch of production, whereas perforated drum has the advantage of greater heat convection that will make profiling easier and burnt coffee can be avoided

What type of ignition does the W600i SE engine use ?

Blue flame burner axle.

Is it possible for the coffee beans to be burned while roasting using a perforated drum ?

No. The design of the burner stove is on the right side of the drum and the blade rotation of the machine is clockwise so the fire will gather on the front left side of the machine and avoid the direct contact between coffee beans and fire.
On another note, we suggest not to overload the machine to create a nice roasted coffee bean per batch..

What is the rotational speed of the W600i SE engine ?

72 rpm.

What are the advantages of using the W600i ?
