Roaster is constructed of cast iron frame and castings.
Blower fan is enclosed in cast iron near the bottom frame. It circulates fresh air through the roasted nuts contained in the movable cooling basket, while withdrawing hot air from the product. This machine roasts 25 pounds of peanuts in the shell or 50 pounds of shelled peanuts every 15-20 minutes. Unit surface was replated in early 2000 and the electric motor was rebuilt later that year. I just added this spring, new safety gas controls to this roaster.
