2. DESCRIPTION

The machines in the EPOCA series have been desi- gned to prepare express coffee and hot beverages.

Apositive-displacement pump inside the machine powers the heater in which the water is heated. By pressing the appropriate buttons, water is supplied to the spouts in the form of hot water or steam, ac- cording to needs.

The water to be used for the beverages is supplied directly by the water supply, pressurized by the pump and immediately heated by the steam produced by the boiler.

2.1. Specifications and composition

AB

The machine is composed of a steel carrying struc- ture on which the mechanical and electrical compo- nents are fitted. These are completely covered with panels made of painted polyurethane and stainless

steel.

The beverages are dispensed at the front of the machine, where all the buttons, control devices and dispensers are to be found.

There is a cup-warming plate on the top of the ma- chine.
