TECNIQUE HX 3 GR | VBM
The Tecnique HX 3 Group by VBM represents a significant technological evolution in the professional espresso market. By refining traditional HX technology, VBM has successfully reduced energy consumption from 5kW to 4kW while maintaining high extraction performance. Its sophisticated "Low Profile" design stands at a maximum height of 47.7 cm, facilitating constant dialogue between baristas and their customers. For maintenance, the innovative "Bulloneasy" system allows for limescale removal in less than 20 minutes without tools or moving the machine from the counter. This model is the perfect blend of extreme ease of use and professional stability.

The advantages of product:
1. Optimized Design & Interaction (The Lines)
Low Profile Design: Similar to the 2-group version, the machine maintains a low height of just 47.7 cm. This is particularly important for the 3-group model (which has a larger width) to prevent creating a visual wall, allowing baristas to communicate easily with customers.
Robust Structure: The body combines stainless steel with modern colored panels, providing a professional and durable appearance for high-volume environments.
Compact Grid: An intelligent drip tray grid system that is easy to remove and safe to clean in a dishwasher.
2. Superior Extraction Technology (Technology)
3-Group Tecnique System: Each group head is cast in chromed brass and features a mechanical pre-infusion chamber, ensuring consistent and rich espresso extraction.
Improved HX (Heat Exchanger) Technology: VBM's proprietary heat exchange system is refined to optimize thermal recovery, ensuring the group heads are always ready, even when operating simultaneously.
Thermal Stability: Every group head has its own dedicated heat exchanger, preventing temperature drops during continuous brewing in peak hours.
3. Performance & Energy Efficiency (Energy Efficiency)
Power Optimization: Thanks to thermal technology evolution, the 3-group version has reduced power consumption from 5kW to 4kW, an impressive figure for a high-capacity machine.
Smart Standby Mode: Integrated standby feature saves up to 30% of energy during slower business periods.
Efficiency Rating: Reduces energy consumption by approximately 0.15kW/h for large extraction cycles (equivalent to 120 double extractions per hour).
4. Control Interface (Interface)
Analogic Keypad: A durable mechanical button system with great tactile feedback, helping baristas manage volumetric dosing accurately and quickly.
Smart Steam Tap: Equipped with steam valves featuring a 120° wide-opening angle, allowing for maximum steam pressure instantly with a slight turn—perfect for fast milk frothing during rush orders.
Hot Water Wand: A dedicated analog button allows for quick hot water dispensing for Americanos or tea.
5. Bulloneasy Maintenance Solution (Maintenance)
Rapid Limescale Cleaning: The Bulloneasy system allows for the removal of limescale within the hydraulic circuits of all 3 groups in less than 20 minutes.
On-site Self-Service: No need to dismantle the machine, move the equipment, or use any specialized tools, significantly reducing routine maintenance costs.
