Espresso on the go.

The Fracino 1 ,2 and 3 group Contempo and Retro coffee machines are also available as a dual fuel option. With the same great specification as our standard 1 ,2 and 3 group machines, but with the option to use LPG, Butane or electricity, they provide unrivalled flexibility and mobility whilst still retaining high volume output. These machines are ideal for mobile catering units and ‘espresso on the go’.

During Gas operation, the control systems and rotary pump, where fitted, require a 240v electricity supply at up to 350w. This low power requirement can be easily provided by a 12v gel battery and 12v-240v Inverter to enable fully ‘off-grid’ mobile operation. A pressurised water supply is required by all models in the range. We recommend the use of the FloJet pump system when the equipment is to be connected to portable water containers.

The high powered gas burners for these machines provide the equivalent power of their electric counterparts, ensuring that there will be no loss of steam pressure during busy serving periods. Fracino are proud to claim that their gas machines are the most powerful in the world.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Installation Requirements

* Note: The installed gas supply system must comply with the Gas Safety Regulations and be certfied by a COMCAT registered engineer.

1. The Rotary Pump is supplied as standard with the Coffee Machine.

2. All items shown can be purchased from Fracino. The following which need to be purchased locally:

• High Pressure Hose attached after 1/4″ Fulham nozzle.
• Pressure Regulator and Gas Bottle.
• Fresh Water Tank.

3. The Flojet Pump and Fresh Water Tank can be replaced by a fixed tank in the vehicle. This tank would require an external 1.5 bar pump.
