Our milk stations can dispense raw or pasteurised milk, full fat or semi skimmed, cow’s milk or goat’s milk or even buffalo milk. We also have machines that can dispense two types of milk from the same machine-bifluid machines though we don’t believe that most EHOs would accept raw and pasteurised milk being dispensed from the same machine. Nut milk is not advisable due to the particle content that could block the filters and kefir is too thick.
Machines are usually sited in a purpose made shed or cabin but sometimes customers adapt old shipping containers or even a trailer and one of our customers produces fully kitted out containers if you want. Machines can be outdoors but the delicate coin mechanisms need to be protected from direct rain. The machines are all stainless steel so do not rust.
If you are creating a building on a site where none existed before, it is likely you will need planning permission but most customers repurpose existing buildings. If in doubt , it is always best to seek permission rather than forgiveness.
Provided they are protected from the worst of the weather, they can go almost anywhere: for example one customer has theirs in a static milk float, one in a car wash, one in a hole in the wall and so on. They just need a power supply but don’t need a water supply.
We have several customers that use modified trailers and horseboxes and move the machines from one site to another.
All our machines come with a straightforward coin acceptor that takes exact money and tokens as standard. You can upgrade to include a coin change mechanism to give customers their change back, as well as note readers and contactless card readers. These upgrades can be specified when you order your machine, or we can retrofit them later if your needs change.
The tank sizes depend a bit on the model you choose. Brunimats can have 50, 100 and 200 litre tanks in the same machine (depending on size and capacity of chosen machine) and provide a double machine with up to 2 x 200 litre tanks or four 50 litre tanks. Please note that none of the Brunimat tanks are on wheels, so careful consideration must be given to lifting and moving the tanks.
DFItalia have different machines with different tanks- 100, 150 & 200 litres (their larger models combine multiple 200L tanks – two in a MOD400, 3 in a MOD600, etc). 150L & 200L tanks are on wheels, but the 100L tank is not.
No. All machines are built to order, with a lead time of 4-6 weeks for Brunimat and 8-12 weeks for DF Italia. All machines are shipped directly from Switzerland & Italy to the customer.
Yes. We have a dedicated member of the team who can co-ordinate your bottle requirements. Most popular is the 1L glass bottle, which we sell by the pallet (approx. 1352 bottles). We recommend ceramically printing them with your branding, as this really helps with your marketing, and supplies vital information to the customer about provenance, shelf life etc. Other sizes of glass bottles are available: 250ml & 500ml being the most popular.

We can also create clear, helpful instruction panels that make it easy for customers to use your machine. It’s all about making sure your machine not only works perfectly but looks fantastic and represents your business in the best possible way.
