Cooling tray Macro:

Cooling tray system (Roaster Arrester) is ideal to stop the roasting process once the beans are removed from the roaster. This cooling tray is made for CocoaT junior Roasters.  Once the roasting is done, remove the roaster drum from the roaster. Use silicon gloves provided with the roaster to handle the hot drum. Place the roaster drum on top of the cooling tray. Open the latch and rotate the drum gently so the cocoa beans fall into the top tray of the cooling tray system. Switch on the cooling tray and the cocoa beans are cooled in less than 5 minutes. This helps in arresting the roasting precisely and preserves the right flavor notes the chocolatemaker is aiming for. All the food contact components are made of stainless steel. The unit is very compact for storage. CocoaT cooling Tray is easy to use and clean.
