To achieve even further temperature stability, the S8X comes with a redirected internal airflow pathways while maintaining cooler temperatures surrounding the roaster itself.
Bring smart to your roastery
S8X's capacity allows for 1.5kg to 4.5kg batches. Whether you are a large roastery looking to run smaller and uncompromised batches for exclusive coffees, or you are a roastery cafe, wanting to freshly roast your own coffees, the S8X's capacity is a sweetspot for all.
Upgraded airflow and exhaust system allows for better thermal stability. Now with variable blower speed, share the exact cup profile you envisioned with your customers

Built-In LED Light
S8X's cooling tray has LED light built in to aid in easy visual assessment of the roasted coffees during the final cooling stage.
No need to purchase separate light to check your work!
World's First
Triple Heat System
Stronghold's patented tower drum design technology
allows for even agitation of the coffees as you manage
convective, radiant, and conductive heat applications.
This triple heat system results in optimal roasting approach.
Conductive heat
Agitating blade pushes the coffees from center of the drum
to the far edges of the drum.
Conductive heat is evenly and efficiently applied to the coffees. With X-Series technology's new drum heater,
you can now independently manage conductive heat
on top of the existing convective and radiant heat controls.
You can now express even more complex and fine-tuned taste
and aroma experience.
Radiant heat
Halogen's radiant heat truly differentiates our Smart Roasters
from our competitors. Penetrating more energy
through multiple layers of the coffees, you can now
more evenly develop your coffee inside and out.
Convective heat
Hot air circulates throughout the drum and
transfers heat to every bean for even heat distribution
Roastware,
where the smart roasting is
Spawned from the research of many dedicated
engineers, chemists, and roasting professionals,
the embedded Roastware is ready
to simplify your roasting experience and needs.
Program roasting
By selecting the coffees' origin, processing method,
and desired roast level, Roastware will factor in
all the information and run optimized roasts for you.
Manual roasting
Manual roasting mode gives precise control over
conductive, convective, and radiant heat, allowing you
to define your roast like never before.
Profile auto-save
Reliable roasting data is readily available through
integration of advanced sensing technology
and the embedded software. Saved roasting profile
can be easily managed and analyzed.
Cooling Tray LED Light
LED light for visual assessment of the roast as it cools
Cooling Tray
Rapid cool down, from release to room temperature in less than 90 seconds.
