The Brullen range

Serve rates below are the supplier's figures at 80 g per serve.

Baby. Countertop, gravity fed at 30% overrun, around 100 cups an hour, with mix-tank pre-cooling and 1,050 W on a 10 A plug.
i91. Single flavour, countertop, 12 litre mix tank and only 324 mm wide, rated at 210 to 425 serves an hour.
i91 Pro. Single flavour, 12 litre mix tank, rated at 250 to 500 serves an hour; the air-pump build offers an optional 20 litre tank.
i26 Pro. Countertop twist machine with two 12 litre cooled, agitated hoppers and two 2 litre freezing cylinders, running from a single 15 A dedicated circuit.
i26 Pro Twin. Two flavours plus twist with a separate compressor for each side, rated at 450 to 700 serves an hour. It weighs 165 to 180 kg, so the bench or stand must be rated for it.
i36 Pro. Two flavours plus twist, two 10 litre pre-cooled mix tanks, around 480 cups an hour and overrun adjustable from 15 to 60%.
i95 Pro. Floor-standing, two flavours plus twist, two 12 litre tanks with separate mix pre-cooling, rated at 440 to 880 serves an hour.
Beast. Floor-standing, two flavours plus twist, two 20 litre tanks and two compressors, rated at 900 to 1,400 serves an hour.

Gravity feed or air pump?

Most models come in a gravity-feed build and an air-pump build. Overrun is the amount of air worked into the mix, and it decides both texture and yield. Gravity-feed builds run about 15 to 45% overrun for a denser, richer serve. Air-pump builds run up to 80% (30 to 80% on the i26 Pro and i26 Pro Twin, 40 to 80% on the i91, i91 Pro, i95 Pro and Beast), giving a lighter serve and more product from each litre of mix: at 80% overrun, one litre of mix yields roughly 1.8 litres of product.

Power and installation

Check the electrical requirement before you order. The Baby runs from a standard 10 A outlet, and most other countertop models need a 15 A circuit, usually dedicated. The twin-compressor machines need two dedicated circuits: 2 x 20 A on the i95 Pro and i26 Pro Twin, and 2 x 25 A on the Beast. That means switchboard work by a licensed electrician.

Some listings are offered in pasteurising builds, and pasteurisation, a wash kit and defrost are listed as options on some models. Confirm the exact specification with our team before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Is Brullen an Australian company?

Yes. Brullen Pty Ltd is based in Sydney and describes itself as a manufacturer of commercial soft serve, frozen yoghurt and acai machines.

Which Brullen machine suits a small cafe?

For lower volumes and a standard power point, the countertop Baby runs from a 10 A outlet at around 100 cups an hour. For more output, the i91 and i91 Pro are rated at up to 425 and 500 serves an hour on a dedicated 15 A circuit.

What is the difference between gravity feed and air pump?

Overrun. Gravity-feed builds run about 15 to 45 percent overrun for a denser serve. Air-pump builds run up to 80 percent for a lighter serve and more product per litre of mix.

What power does a Brullen machine need?

It depends on the model. The Baby plugs into a 10 A outlet, most countertop models need a 15 A circuit, and the i95 Pro, i26 Pro Twin and Beast need two dedicated circuits, so plan switchboard work with a licensed electrician.
