PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a roasting device in which heat is uniformly transmitted in whole beans, and sharp expansion of the beans is suppressed, and thereby the beans of good quality can be roasted.SOLUTION: A roasting device includes: a roaster 3 for roasting beans a hot-air oven 1 for sending hot air off to the roaster 3 a feeding path 2 for forming a flow path to feed the hot air from the hot-air oven 1 to the roaster 3 a circulation path 7 for returning the hot air passing the roaster 3 to the hot-air oven 1 a discharging path 5 for discharging the hot air passing the roaster 3 and a branched path 8 branched off from the feeding path 2. The roasting device also includes humidification means 4 provided in the feeding path 2 and control means for controlling this humidification means 4. The control means controls so as to bring the humidification means 4 into a non-operating state in a drying step of the beans, and to operate the humidification means 4 and feed moisture into the roaster 3 in a roast step following the drying step.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】豆全体に熱が均一に伝わるようにして、豆の急激な膨張を抑えて、品質の良い豆の焙煎を行うことのできる焙煎装置を提供する。【解決手段】豆の焙煎を行う焙煎機3と、焙煎機3へ熱風を送り出すための熱風炉1と、熱風炉1から焙煎機3へと熱風を送り込むための流路を形成する送り込み経路2と、焙煎機3を通過した熱風を熱風炉1へと戻す循環経路7と、焙煎機3を通過した熱風を排出させる排出経路5と、送り込み経路2から分岐した分岐経路8と、を備えた焙煎装置であって、送り込み経路2に設けられた加湿手段4と、この加湿手段4を制御する制御手段とを備え、制御手段は、豆の乾燥工程において加湿手段4を非動作とし、乾燥工程に続く焙煎工程において加湿手段4を動作させて、水分を焙煎機3に送り込むように制御する。【選択図】図3
