EMBLA
The opening model from NORDRE.
Etymology
Embla is the first human woman created by Odin in Norse mythology. Her name symbolizes origin and new beginnings, but also circularity, since the world is understood as cyclical in ancient Scandinavian cosmology.
EMBLA specifications
Roast profiling
The EMBLA utilizes inlet temperature based roast control. That means recipes are structured as IT@BT steps independent of time. The consequence is shifting the roast variable focus from independent variables to dependent variables. In other words our recipe system focuses on the variable that causes the change in bean temperature - the incoming hot air.

Batch size range
The EMBLA has a batch range of 1kg - 15kg.
15kg is the actual maximum batch size. You can roast 15kg without any decrease of quality in roast results.
Roast time is usually between 6:00 to 10:00 minutes thanks to the fluid bed design.
Hardware interface
The EMBLA connects to the NORDRE KAPTEN app - our in house roast control software - on your computer of choice via ethernet cable.
Physical dimensions
The allocated area required is less than 2.0 sqm with a maximum height of 2.40 m.
The EMBLA can also be split into two units, the roasting chamber and the machine house, and be deployed in two adjacent rooms with a separating wall.
