Ipeco introduces new SAROS Beverage Maker

Aircraft crew and executive jet passenger seating supplier Ipeco has expanded its growing presence within the aircraft galley insert market with a new range of inserts for both new and retrofit installations.

Ipeco says its SAROS products combine technological innovation and robust performance, improve food and beverage service for airlines and operators worldwide across multiple platforms and allow for customisation and configuration where required.

The SAROS beverage maker showcases new and exciting technological innovations, according to Luis Ruiz, Ipeco’s senior project engineer.

He said: “Key features include the ability to brew 1.5 litres of beverages to 88⁰C in under four minutes. However, flow-through heating which facilitates non-stop brewing is the game-changer, generating instant access to hot coffee or hot water for every passenger.”

The SAROS beverage maker can perform back-to-back brewing without any pre-heat, refill or re-heating time, generating significant efficiencies for crew and improving customer satisfaction. It also autonomously maintains the temperature within the heater to ensure that there is always instant access to hot water at the faucet, ensuring the next brew cycle is ready to go immediately.

Ruiz added: “The light bar display features patented technology unique to the SAROS range. This presents a live output of the equipment’s status providing cabin crew with important information that is visible from across the galley or down the aisle, thus reducing the need for cabin crew to return to the equipment to check its readiness.”

According to Ipeco, the SAROS beverage maker is designed to reduce the effects of limescale build-up on critical control and safety components by limiting their contact with hot water. The flow-through heater design also reduces the amount of water stored within the system and therefore lowers the amount of potential limescale deposited into the hydraulics, improving reliability and maintainability.
