2.2 - DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The main features of the continuous supply coffee machine with electronic coffee dosage control are listed
below.
- Machine for ground coffee or coffee in pods or capsules (on request), with electronic microprocessor dosage
control using a push-button panel.
- Automatic boiler lling.
- Stainless steel body.
- Large capacity boiler: used to contain hot water and steam and made of nickel-plated copper in order to
ensure its properties remain unchanged over time.
- Supply group and heat exchanger: The brass supply group is the component in which, on attaching the
portalter (containing the lter and the ground coffee or coffee pods), when the hot water arrives, the infusion
and supply phases for the drinks take place.
The heat exchanger, one for each group, is immersed in the boiler water and allows the mains water to be
brought up to the optimum temperature in a short time, preventing thermal imbalances to the system.
- Bullone Rosso (OPTIONAL) is the exclusive technology of Brasilia S.p.a. which, thanks to it particular
circuitry, allows the optimisation of heat stability, resulting in better coffee extraction.
- Heating element: made up of an electrical resistance immersed in the boiler water to allow water heating
and steam production.
- Rotary pump, with pressure control device.
Used to raise the mains pressure, normally insufcient for the purpose, to 9 bar, the ideal pressure to make
the best use of the coffee.
- Steam nozzles: steam production with a two-position lever allows steam to be used to prepare cappuccinos
or hot chocolates and heat water. Stainless steel nozzles.
- Hot water nozzle: a specic button allows the user to produce water to prepare hot drinks or infusions.
Stainless steel nozzles.
- Cappuccino maker (Optional): Emulsies and heats the milk (using steam) to produce frothed milk for
making cappuccinos or hot milk.
- Control instruments:
Pressure gauges: these indicate the pressure in the boiler and the operating pressure of the pump.
Pressure switches: these check the pressure and insertion of the heat sources to keep the temperature of
the water in the boiler constant.
Level indicator: this marks the water level in the boiler.
Alarm lights: these show boiler lling and the insertion of the heating elements.
