Exceptional Afterburners for our Exceptional Roasters
We believe that extraordinary coffee starts with exceptional equipment. So as part of our commitment to quality, precision, and environmental responsibility, we incorporate German-engineered Weishaupt digital combustion burner technology into our afterburners, which are built locally, by our sister company, Selkirk Manufacturing L.L.C. This advanced system ensures that our roasters meet the highest standards of performance, emissions control, and efficiency—allowing you to focus on what you do best: crafting extraordinary coffee.
Why Afterburners Matter for Coffee Roasters
The roasting process generates emissions, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulates, which can affect both the environment and the taste of your coffee. Afterburners play a critical role in mitigating these emissions by incinerating the byproducts of roasting before they are released into the atmosphere. This not only helps roasters comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations but also improves the quality of the coffee itself by reducing unwanted smoke and odors that can compromise flavor.
For larger capacity roasters, afterburners are essential for maintaining clean operations and ensuring that the roasting environment remains free from contaminants that could impact the final product. By investing in a quality afterburner, you are investing in the integrity of your coffee and the future of your business.
The Weishaupt Advantage: Precision Engineering for Peak Performance
Our choice to integrate Weishaupt’s WG30 and WG40 burners into our SF-25 and SF-75 roasters reflects our dedication to delivering the best technology available to coffee professionals. Weishaupt, a renowned leader in combustion technology, manufactures over 600 burners daily at their cutting-edge production facility in Schwendi, Germany. Each burner undergoes rigorous mechanical and electrical testing to ensure top-tier quality.
Key benefits of the Weishaupt afterburner technology include:

Seamless Integration with San Franciscan Roasters
We’ve made sure that the Weishaupt afterburners integrate seamlessly with our SF-25 and SF-75 roasters, but they can also be adapted for smaller roasters if needed, depending on environmental regulations. This flexibility allows us to cater to a wide range of roasting operations, from small-batch artisans to large-scale commercial roasters.
By incorporating Weishaupt technology, we ensure that you get the best of both worlds—environmental compliance and superior coffee quality. The elimination of roasting byproducts means that your coffee can shine through without being compromised by unwanted flavors or aromas. The result? A cleaner roast, a cleaner environment, and happier customers.

“I love the quality that the machine puts out”
“We’re known around this area for quality coffee and If I didn’t have a San Franciscan, I don’t know that I would have that quality. I have roasted with other people on other roasters and I don’t believe that I could get that quality with other roasters.”

“It would work 24 hours a day if we let it”
“It’s Consistent, I love it. The machines themselves, once they get up to temperature and Robbie gets them throttled right, they’re steady. This thing would work 24 hours a day if we let it. As we grow, we will buy another San Franciscan.”
