Agtron numbers are defined as two scale expressions designed to meet the
specific needs of different types of coffee roast.
Agtron Commercial Scale:
This was originally defined as a roast scale, developed primarily for large
commercial plants, corresponding to the carbide ratio of soluble organic matter,
in order to evaluate soluble coffee in the form of dehydration. The measuring
values ranging from 0 to 100, indicates deep to shallow degree. However, as the
market evolved, this type of measuring method is gradually replaced by other
measuring equipment that turned to the primary use of assessing the degree of
roasting.
Agtron Gourmet Scale:
To meet the development of better roast machine performance and more
extreme market roast demands, this higher resolution scale was born. This scale
is typically ranging from 0 to 133, which has a wider measurement ranges than
the Commercial Scale.
Most products on the market now are fixed with Gourmet scale. Our product
supports both scales and can be selected on demand, in order to meet a wider
range of application needs.
