Question
what is the best temperature to use for roasting unshelled peanuts?How long should the roasting and cooling of the peanuts be?

Answer
I would suggest that you contact a roaster manufacturer, who has this info. I do not. Do a Google search on "Peanut Roasting Equipment Suppliers".
BTW, the first thing they'll ask you is whether it would be a dry roast or hot oil roast...so you need to be ready to answer that.
