Brullen i36 Pro Two Flavours + Twist Soft Serve & Frozen Yoghurt Machines (Gravity Feed) i36_PRO-NP-GF

The Brullen i36 Pro is a gravity-feed soft serve and frozen yoghurt machine serving two flavours plus a twist, rated at 480 cups an hour at 80 g a cup. It has two 10 litre mix tanks with pre-cooling — the tanks are refrigerated as well as the cylinders, which is what lets you hold mix safely through a long trading day. Overrun is adjustable from 15 to 60 per cent, it runs a 1.75 hp compressor, and it operates from a 15 amp single-phase supply.

Why operators choose the i36_PRO-NP-GF

• Two flavours plus twist — three products from one machine and one footprint. The twist is free menu range - it costs you nothing extra to offer
• Pre-cooled mix tanks, not just cooled cylinders — the tanks have their own twin refrigeration circuit. Without it, mix sitting in the hopper warms through the day and you either discard it or risk it - this is the feature that decides whether the machine suits long trading hours
• Overrun adjustable 15 to 60 per cent — overrun is how much air is whipped into the product. Low overrun is dense, premium and expensive per serve; high overrun is lighter and stretches the mix further. Being able to set it is a margin control
• 480 cups per hour at 80 g — a genuine high-volume rate - eight serves a minute, so the machine is not the queue
• 2 x 10 litre tanks over 2 x 2.1 litre freezing cylinders — a full day of mix on board for most sites, without refilling mid-rush
• Gravity feed — mix flows to the cylinder under its own weight - simpler than a pumped system, fewer parts to fail and to clean
• Soft-touch screen operator menu — settings and cycles through a screen rather than a bank of switches
• 15 A single phase - no three-phase needed — a machine of this capability on a 15 A outlet is a genuinely easier installation than the three-phase alternatives
• 226 kg — this is floor-standing equipment, not a counter-top machine - plan the position before it arrives

Specifications

Venue suitability

The i36 Pro suits dessert bars, ice cream shops, food courts, cinemas, theme parks and any high-traffic venue where soft serve is a core line rather than an afterthought. The pre-cooled tanks are what make it viable for long trading hours; the 480-cup rate is what makes it viable for queues.

Installation & delivery

It needs a 15 A outlet — not a standard 10 A point — so an electrician will need to install one if you do not have it. That is still far simpler than the three-phase installations common on machines at this output. At 226 kg and 1,435 mm tall it is a multi-person placement on a floor that can carry it; check the route against the 710 x 900 x 1600 mm packed size and the 256 kg packed weight. The condenser is air cooled, so it needs clear air around it — boxing it into a cabinet will cost you output on the hottest days, which are exactly the days you need it. Allow for daily cleaning: soft serve equipment is a food safety item, and a gravity system still has to come apart.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What does overrun mean and why is 15 to 60 per cent useful?

Overrun is the air whipped into the product as it freezes. At 15 per cent you get a dense, premium, gelato-like serve that costs more per cup in mix; at 60 per cent the product is lighter and the same mix yields far more serves. Being able to set it means you can position your product and control your margin rather than accepting whatever the machine does.

Q: Why do pre-cooled mix tanks matter?

Because mix is a dairy product sitting in a hopper all day. A machine that only refrigerates the freezing cylinder lets the tank warm, which limits how long you can safely hold mix and how much you can load at once. This machine has a separate twin refrigeration circuit on the tanks, so you can fill 2 x 10 litres in the morning and trade through.

Q: What electrical supply does it need?

A 15 amp single-phase outlet - larger than a standard 10 amp power point, so an electrician will need to fit one if you do not already have it. The recorded fuse size is 14 A. Notably it does not need three phase, which many machines at this output do.

Q: How many serves an hour will it really do?

480 cups per hour at 80 grams per cup, which is the manufacturer's figure and the basis matters - a larger serve size proportionally reduces the count. At 8 serves a minute the machine will not be your bottleneck; your service point will be.

Q: What is the difference between gravity feed and pumped?

In a gravity system the mix flows into the freezing cylinder under its own weight. A pumped system forces mix in under pressure, which allows higher overrun and more consistent output at maximum volume, at the cost of more components to maintain and clean. This is the gravity model - simpler, and the 15 to 60 per cent overrun range is generous for the type.

Q: What warranty does the i36_PRO-NP-GF come with?

Covered for 12 months. Our records state the duration but not whether labour is included, so confirm the exact cover with our team before ordering rather than assuming it. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
