Brullen i26 Pro Twist Soft Serve Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Machine (Air Mix Pump) i26_PRO-NP-AMP

The Brullen i26 Pro is a countertop twist soft serve and frozen yoghurt machine with two 12 litre cooled, agitated hoppers and two 2 litre freezing cylinders. This is the air-mix-pump build at 30% to 80% overrun, running a Tecumseh 1.75 HP compressor with Danfoss components from a single 15 A dedicated circuit — two hoppers and a twist without switchboard work.

Why operators choose the i26_PRO-NP-AMP

• Twin hoppers and a twist on one 15 A circuit — the i95 Pro needs two 20 A dedicated circuits and the Beast two at 25 A. This machine does two hoppers from a single 15 A supply, which is what makes it viable where switchboard work is not
• Cooled hoppers with agitators — mix is chilled and kept moving rather than sitting still - food safety on dairy held through a trading day, and consistency in the product
• Named-brand refrigeration components — Tecumseh 1.75 HP compressor, Danfoss dryer and Danfoss expansion valve - the parts that decide service life on a machine that runs continuously
• Pasteurising, wash kit and defrost are listed as options — recorded as optional rather than fitted. Confirm with us before ordering if any matters to you; the wash kit also needs plumbing
• 2 x 2 litre freezing cylinders — cylinder size drives recovery between serves
• Air pump: 30% 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 suits cafes, dessert bars and frozen-yoghurt counters wanting two flavours plus twist with air-pump yield, on a bench and a single circuit. It is 15 kg heavier than the gravity-feed build at 160 kg — the pump hardware.

Installation & delivery

A single 15 A dedicated circuit at a recorded 2.55 kW. Dimensions are recorded width x depth x height: 515 x 700 x 955 mm including drip tray and feet, weighing 160 kg (180 kg crated) — heavy for a bench, so confirm what your counter is rated to carry. Warm air discharges from the right-hand side, so keep that side clear. The source refers you to the equipment manual for ventilation clearances rather than stating them.

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: Is pasteurisation included?

No. Our data lists 'Pasteurize' as an OPTION on this machine rather than as fitted equipment. This is the only machine in the Brullen range whose data mentions pasteurisation at all, so if you need a pasteurising machine, speak to us before ordering rather than assuming it is included.

Q: How does it differ from the gravity-feed i26 Pro?

Overrun and weight. This build runs 30-80% overrun against 15-45%, and weighs 160 kg against 145 kg. Hoppers, cylinders, compressor, components, output, dimensions and the single 15 amp circuit are identical.

Q: What electrical supply does it need?

A single 15 amp dedicated circuit at a recorded 2.55 kW. That is genuinely useful on a twin-hopper twist machine - the floor-standing i95 Pro needs two 20 amp dedicated circuits and the Beast two at 25 amps.

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.
