The Fracino Contempo Dual Fuel is a portable, professional grade espresso machine primarily made for mobile or off-grid coffee needs. The dual fuel can use LPG, Butane, or electricity (electronic or semi-automatic), allowing the user to operate professionally from anywhere – a coffee truck, mobile coffee cart, coffee shop, office, and more. The high-powered gas burners the equivalent power to their electric counterparts, ensuring that there will be no loss of steam pressure during busy serving periods. These portable gas-fueled Fracino espresso machines are the most powerful in the world.
- Comes with one, two, or three group heads
- Electronic model includes four accurately pre-programmed espresso distribution options
- Semi-automatic models is operated by a push-button switch, allowing the user to control the amount of espresso being dispensed.
- For gas operation: The control systems and rotary pump 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 pressurized water supply is required by all models. We recommend the use of the FloJet pump system when the equipment is to be connected to portable water containers.
- High quality copper boiler heated by a powerful multi-looped element or by gas
- Pressure controlled by a triple contact pressure switch (electric machine only)
- Automatic water level system with a probe, electronic control unit, and solenoid valve.
- The water and steam pressure is controlled separately by brass safety valves
- Hot water and steam are released by rotating the valve handles on the solid brass valves.
- Brass bodied group heads with stainless steel shower plate, solenoid valve, and high pressure pump.
- Thermosyphonic heat exchangers within the boiler maintain a steady, hot temperature within the group head to ensure consistent espresso extraction.
- Stainless steel (304) case, waste and cup tray
- High group heads (5.2 inches) to accommodate large to-go cups
- Espresso tray comes with the high group head feature, ensuring a perfect espresso shot
- LPG or Butane fueled heater system fitted with electronic ignition and flame failure safety device
- Boiler pressure controlled by gas pressure valve set at 1.0 bar, with a low flame adjustment which controls the gas burner. Please note: a 37(LPG) / 30(BUTANE) mbar gas pressure regulator must be fitted prior to installation of the machine (dual fuel gas machine only). This is equivalent to about an 11 WC bbq grill propane regulator.
- Easy-to-clean stainless steel steam wands
