Brullen Beast Soft Serve Machine Air Pump Non-Pasteurise BEAST_NP-AMP

The Brullen Beast is a floor-standing two-flavour-plus-twist soft serve machine with two 20 litre mix tanks and two separate compressors, rated at 900 to 1,400 serves per hour. This is the air-pump build, running 40% to 80% overrun — lighter product and substantially more yield per litre of mix than the gravity-feed version. It requires two separate 25 A dedicated circuits.

Why operators choose the BEAST_NP-AMP

• Air pump: up to 80% overrun — the commercial argument for this build over gravity feed. At 80% overrun a litre of mix yields close to 1.8 litres of product - on a high-volume machine that difference compounds every single day
• It needs 2 x 25 A dedicated circuits — two outlets, both dedicated. Switchboard work rather than a power point, and the requirement most likely to delay commissioning
• Two compressors, not one shared system — each flavour holds its own temperature independently, so a busy flavour does not drag the other out of spec
• 900 to 1,400 serves an hour — high-volume output for sites where the queue is the constraint
• Air pump: 40% to 80% overrun — the pump forces air into the mix, so you get a lighter, classic soft-serve texture AND materially more product per litre. At 80% overrun a litre of mix yields roughly 1.8 litres of finished product, which is where the machine pays for itself
• Soft-touch operator menu — the controls a staff member actually uses, on a sealed panel that survives a sticky bench
• POM plastic scraper blades — the blades scrape the frozen layer off the cylinder wall. Plastic rather than steel means they wear instead of the cylinder
• R404a refrigerant, air-cooled condenser — no plumbing for the condenser - but it does need airflow around it

Specifications

Venue suitability

This is the high-yield build of the Beast, for high-volume dessert bars, entertainment venues and QSR sites. Choose it over the gravity-feed version if yield per litre of mix matters to you; choose gravity feed if you want a denser, gelato-style product. It is 10 kg heavier than the gravity-feed model at 255 kg.

Installation & delivery

This machine requires two separate 25 A single-phase dedicated circuits. Have your electrician confirm switchboard capacity before ordering. Recorded nominal power is 3.95 kW, which is well inside what two 25 A circuits carry — the circuit specification is likely about compressor start-up surge across two refrigeration circuits, but provide what the manufacturer specifies. Dimensions are recorded width x depth x height: 620 x 880 x 1,500 mm, weighing 255 kg (285 kg crated). The air-cooled condenser needs clear airflow around it.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What is overrun, and why does it matter more than anything else here?

Overrun is the percentage of air whipped into the mix. It sets both the texture and your yield. A gravity-feed machine runs 15-45% overrun and gives a denser, gelato-like product; an air-pump machine runs 40-80% and gives classic light soft serve. The commercial consequence is the yield: at 80% overrun one litre of mix becomes roughly 1.8 litres of finished product, where at 20% it becomes 1.2. If you are comparing a gravity-feed and an air-pump version of the same machine, that is the difference you are actually choosing between.

Q: Should I choose air pump or gravity feed?

It comes down to product style and yield. This air-pump build runs 40-80% overrun: lighter, classic soft-serve texture and close to 1.8 litres of product from a litre of mix at the top of the range. The gravity-feed Beast runs 16-45%: denser, closer to gelato, and fewer serves per litre. If your margin depends on yield, the pump build is the commercial choice; if your product is the selling point, gravity feed gives a richer result.

Q: What electrical supply does it need?

Two separate 25 amp single-phase dedicated circuits - switchboard work rather than a power point. Confirm capacity with your electrician before ordering; it is the most common reason a machine like this cannot be commissioned on arrival.

Q: How does it differ from the gravity-feed Beast?

Overrun and weight. This one runs 40-80% overrun against 16-45%, and weighs 255 kg against 245 kg. Flavours, tanks (2 x 20 L), compressors, output, dimensions and electrical requirement are identical.

Q: Does it need plumbing or extra ventilation?

The condenser is air-cooled, so there is no water connection for cooling - but it does need clear airflow around it, and boxing it into a tight cabinet will cost you capacity on a hot day. Our data does not record a ventilation clearance figure for this model, so check the equipment manual or ask us before you build it into joinery.

Q: What is the scraper blade made of and why does that matter?

POM plastic. The blades scrape the frozen layer off the inside of the freezing cylinder thousands of times a day, and the choice of material decides what wears out. Plastic blades wear instead of the cylinder, so the consumable is a cheap replaceable part rather than the machine itself.
