It's not that simple, Shane.  It depends on the type, size,  design,
load, and ambient air temperature.  I roast on an older Diedrich
IR-12.  With the window open on a cold January day and a five pound
load, I can get the beans cool enough to handle in 2 minutes.  With a
15 pound load in July, it takes four minutes.  My Diedrich doesn't
have much air flow running through the cooling tray, but it does have
a non-stock larger cooling tray that helps cool the beans down a bit
faster.

As Steve Ackman mentioned, even an IR-12 is not considered a large
commercial roaster.  The guy I bought my roaster from was roasting
150 pounds/batch, if I recall correctly.
