Meet Lucent – our new roasting solution for cocoa production Designed to improve both efficiency and flavor control, Lucent combines heat recovery, smart roasting controls, and a fully sealed product chamber. The result: ▪ At least 20% less energy use ▪ Up to 20% higher throughput ▪ No increase in machine footprint ▪ Self-learning control for consistent roast levels ▪ Product separation from combustion air throughout the roasting cycle “Roasting has always been as much about expertise as technology. Lucent combines both by embedding process knowledge into the machine, making repeatable flavor profiles and consistent roast levels easier to achieve.” Isabelle Kirckof, Product Manager Market Segment Cocoa & Malt Manufactured in Appenzell, Switzerland, Lucent is currently in prototype development, with the first customer installation planned in Asia in Q1 2027.
