BRAVILOR BONOMAT RLX 55 Coffee Machine for Professional Use

A coffee machine designed for continuous service in professional kitchens, the BRAVILOR BONOMAT RLX 55 brews fresh coffee by circulating hot water through ground coffee held in a stainless steel filter. The water is heated electrically and forced through the coffee under controlled pressure, extracting flavour and aroma without over-extraction that can cause bitterness. The machine maintains a steady temperature and flow rate, ensuring each batch matches the last in strength and taste.

Operation begins by loading the filter with ground coffee, then positioning it beneath the water outlet. The operator selects the brewing cycle, and the machine heats the water to the required temperature before releasing it through the coffee. A signal indicates when the coffee is ready, and the brewed liquid flows into insulated containers that keep it at serving temperature. The containers monitor the coffee's freshness, alerting staff when it needs replacing to maintain consistent quality. A descaling indicator prompts maintenance to prevent scale build-up, which can affect heating efficiency and taste.

The RLX 55 is built with a stainless steel filter pan and housing, providing durability and resistance to corrosion in a busy kitchen environment. Its construction allows for easy access to internal components for cleaning and servicing. The machine operates on either a 230 V single-phase or 400 V three-phase electrical supply, accommodating different kitchen power setups. The power rating of 2.06 kW or 4.13 kW reflects the load it places on the circuit, requiring a dedicated line in most professional settings.

Controls include a brewing cycle selector, a coffee-ready signal, and a descaling indicator. The brewing cycle selector allows the operator to adjust the volume of water dispensed, while the coffee-ready signal confirms when the batch is complete. The descaling indicator ensures timely maintenance by alerting staff when the machine requires cleaning to remove mineral deposits.

The machine's footprint of 475 mm width, 509 mm depth, and 611 mm height determines the space it occupies on a worktop or counter. Its size allows for placement in most professional kitchens without requiring structural modifications. The stainless steel construction simplifies cleaning, as surfaces can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The filter pan and water pathways require regular rinsing to prevent coffee oils and residue from affecting flavour.

The RLX 55 is available in configurations compatible with either 230 V or 400 V electrical supplies, allowing it to be installed in kitchens with different power infrastructures. The catalogue lists it under professional coffee equipment, alongside machines designed for high-volume beverage service.
