Boiler Inspections (PSSR)
Boiler Inspections (PSSR) are a vital part of owning a commercial coffee machine and are fairly straight forward to book with us. If you fall into one or more of the areas below you must have your boiler inspected to make sure you are covered by your insurance company.
- You have owned the traditional espresso / bean to cup machine for 12 months or more.
- Your traditional espresso / bean to cup machine has not had a PSSR inspection in the last 12-14 months (signed off by Coffee Safe, you may see the sticker somewhere on your machine).
- You are concerned about any of the above.
What happens during this process (usually carried out on site)
PSSR Boiler Certification
- Completely power down the coffee machine.
- Full strip down of the coffee machine by one of our qualified service engineers.
- We then drain the boiler and remove the heating element.
- The engineer will then start to examine the pressure boiler.
- Once the engineer has finished the inspection, they will reassemble the coffee machine and refit the heating element with a new gasket.
- The Machine will then be tested to full pressure (1.7-.1.9 Bar) to check the safety valve functions correctly and opens at the designated pressure (usually 1.8 Bar).
- After the works have been completed, the engineer will submit the findings to our support team who in conjunction with ‘Coffee Safe’ will then issue a PSSR Test Certificate for the coffee machine to indicate it has passed and is legally compliant.
- If the machine fails inspection for any reason and cannot be repaired within the allotted testing period, then a second inspection will be necessary. Your machine cannot be used until it has been passed and a certificate issued.
