2. DESCRIPTION

The machines in the S20 series have been designed to prepare espresso 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, according to needs.

In the model with an economizer, 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.

Model S24 has an incorporated water-tank and does not, therefore, need to be connected to the waterworks. A water-softener inside the tank softens the water, filtering the calcium salts in it.

The machine consists of a steel supporting structure on which the mechanical and electrical components are fitted. These are completely covered with panels in varnished steel 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 machine.
