Fresh roasted in-shell peanuts are the original concession snack food.  They are healthy (nutrition facts), you might say that they put the “NUT” in nutrition,  and just plain fun.  If you decide to add a peanut roaster to your business or create a business around roasting peanuts, you will be joining an enjoyable trade.  Peanuts are just “naturally good”.  So, go nuts! click here for video demo

Peanut  roasters of the type for small operations are limited to only 4 models.  The Georgian Table top  roaster -  capacity 7# per batch; the Royal #5 Replica – capacity 25# per batch (ship wt. 600#), the Krispy Kritter 7# capacity (will also roast coffee) and the S&R Portable – capacity 23# . 

The GEORGIAN PEANUT ROASTER Model 171G  is U.L. Approved  and very simple to operate. It comes with a timer and other controls for ease of use,  it can be mastered in a single batch.  Under construction since the 1930’s, it is tried and true.  List price is $2,000.00, we discount  it by over 25%, so your cost is $1,485.00 (plus truck shipping – usually around $55-65).  Check out the short demonstration video.  The Georgian is usually available for immediate shipment.  Allow one week for delivery. 

The Royal #5 Antique Replica Roaster is modeled after a 1905 coffee/peanut roaster that was and is very popular for stores and the concession trade.  It is very heavy duty and weighs over 500 pounds.  If you are going for a reasonably high capacity model with the look and feel of the old days, this is the roaster for you.  For small operations it may be too large or costly, but since it will also do coffee and other nuts and has that nostalgic appearance, it could be considered as a top choice.  The price is $10,500.00 plus shipping.  Lead time 2-4 weeks. Special Discounts available.

The S&R Portable is the best choice for swap meets, farmers markets and fairs.  This roaster is especially convenient when there is no electricity provided because it runs off a car battery and propane bottle (not included but available everywhere).  Click on the videos to see a short demonstration video.  The price is $1,700.00 plus shipping (around $150).

As for the warmer carts they are specially made to order and can help you merchandise the products by gaining visibility.  If they don’t see you, your not there.  The model show is the 2660PW on a separate two wheel cart.  The warmer is $525 and the cart $415.  Allow 4 week lead time.  Special  peanut kiosks can be built to give you maximum exposure and are designed around the roasters for great eye appeal.  Prices start around $5500 for fully equipped models.

The following is a general breakdown of the potential profitability of roasting your own.  Roasting on site is a great attention getter that will bring customers to your location. The aroma, sights and sounds of an operational peanut roaster will help create traffic.  The great taste of fresh roasted will bring them back. 

Once at your store or stand, it is wise to carry salted in-shells and perhaps our seasoned varieties (they are great!)  Keep in mind the roasters  can only be used on raw (unsalted in-shell peanuts).  Use a warmer to put Salted in shell or Cajun in shell peanuts on display. 
 
Start with a pound of raw peanuts for $.55 to .75 cents per pound.  Divide by 16 (ounces) to get the per ounce price. Using $.75, for example), multiply by  the number of ounces per bag.  $.75 ¸ 16= $.047 per ounce X 4 ounce bag = $.18¾  per bag cost ( the bag should cost you 1 to 2 cents each) therefore if you sell it for $1.00 you make a 400% profit.  And a  4 ounce bag is a good measure for a customer to buy, it could be enough for two.  That size could also be sold for up to $1.50, but we find that customers like high value and will likely buy 2 or 3 bags for an even amount, like $1.00.  The easy way to do it is find a cup that measures the amount you wish to sell and use it to fill the bags.

The real beauty to these machines is that, unlike the original ROYAL roasters, it is made of a solid drum and can roast shelled peanuts (or other nuts like pecans or soy nuts) and even coffee.  A comparable coffee roaster would cost over $15,000 and not do a better job. You could process your own-shelled nuts and even peanut splits for peanut butter.

UNIT INCLUDES:  Built in cooling drawer with a exhaust fan to cool nuts. Stainless frame, cylinder, drum cover and chutes.
