The Controller Box

The brain, the pumps and the software in one unit. Plug it into the mains, run the tubes into your bottles, and the enclosure is yours to choose.

How it works

Two boxes, one machine

The brain decides what to pour. The pump modules pour it. Everything around them - the counter, the doors, the finish - is yours to choose.

Front of the brain box, with PWR, RUN, NET, LIC and PUMP status lights

The brain

The computer, the software and your licence, in one rack-sized case. The lights on the front tell you at a glance that it is powered, running, online and pouring.

The pump module

Eight numbered channels behind one front panel. A tube runs from the bottle to IN, another from OUT to the glass. No soldering, no wiring.

One cable between them

More drinks on the menu? Add a module and plug it into the one before it. The software finds it on its own. Five modules chain that way, which is 40 pumps on one machine.

1. Configure Your Box

Price follows the pump count. Start where you need to and extend later - the same box drives 4 pumps or 40.

Your pump mix

Mix families freely. Every channel on the board drives a DC pump or a valve indifferently, so the mix costs you nothing in modules - and a head can be swapped for the other family later on the same channel.

DC Pump Time-based dosing. The standard choice for spirits, juices and syrups. From €165 per pump
8
Valve For pressurised lines - beer, soda, tonic, sparkling mixers. The valve is only the head that opens the line: the keg kit (coupler, CO2, regulator, cooling, food-grade line) is not supplied here. From €135 per pump
0
Total pumps 8

Between 4 and 40 pumps.

Above 5 pumps the machine needs a paid licence - Personal at 99 EUR once, or Pro for analytics, pricing and cashless.

Your module stack

One brain, then enough pump modules to carry the channels. A PM-4 carries 4, a PM-8 carries 8, and neither cares which pump family sits on them.

1x Brain

Brain module (Raspberry Pi, power supply, I2C bus master, software preinstalled) €1,050
8 pumps and their modules, tubing and calibration €1,460
Box total €2,510

One-off hardware price, VAT excluded. The software licence is billed separately.

Extension Packs

Every box ships with the spare channels its modules carry. Adding pumps later is a head and a calibration - a new module only when the channels run out.

4 DC pumps €660
8 DC pumps €1,240
