Jiangsu Bingluo Refrigeration Equipment Co., Ltd. has manufactured beverage and refrigeration equipment from Shanghai since 2006, and today produces the Commercial Steamer Milk Frother line at our Dianshanhu production base in Kunshan, Suzhou. The range covers automatic electric milk foaming machines and manual steam milk frothers built around 304 stainless steel bodies, 2000W heating and 0.1MPa steam pressure.
These machines serve coffee shops, hotel kitchens, bakeries, dessert counters, milk tea shops and mobile beverage bars — anywhere staff need repeatable microfoam and hot milk at counter speed rather than one cup at a time.
Where Steam Frothers Sit in a Beverage Line
A steam frother is a hot-side unit. It draws on the same counter run as the espresso machine, hot water dispenser and rinse sink, and it feeds directly into the drink assembly point. Getting the steam capacity, recovery time and footprint right matters more than the number of buttons on the panel.
We build two operating philosophies into the category: an automatic electric foaming machine that heats and aerates to a set program, and a manual steam wand unit where the barista controls aeration and texturing by hand. Both use the same stainless housing platform and the same 0.1MPa steam circuit.
- Automatic foaming: consistent foam structure with limited operator skill; suited to high staff turnover and multi-outlet chains.
- Manual steam wand: full control over microfoam density for latte art and specialty menus; preferred by trained baristas.
- Milk heating only: for cocoa, matcha, milk tea and dessert bases where texture is secondary to temperature and throughput.

Configuration notes |
| Automatic electric milk foaming machine |
Programmed heat and aeration, auto-shutoff timer |
Cafes, hotel breakfast, dessert shops, chain outlets |
2000W heating, 0.1MPa steam, 304 stainless housing, OEM branding |
| Manual commercial coffee frother / milk steamer |

Both families are produced on a dedicated commercial steam milk frother line inside the 12,500 square metre Kunshan factory, alongside our Commercial Hot Water Dispenser and bar equipment lines, so a full hot-beverage counter can be specified from one production source.
Critical Specifications That Shape the Proposal
Steam performance is the specification that decides whether a frother keeps up with a rush. Heating power, boiler recovery and wand geometry together determine how many pitchers can be textured back to back without the steam falling flat.
- Heating power: 2000W elements bring the steam circuit to working pressure quickly; the figure also drives the electrical supply requirement.
- Steam pressure: 0.1MPa is the working point of our current models — enough for fine microfoam on whole and plant milks without scorching.
- Working capacity: the manual unit carries a 5L capacity, sized for consecutive pitchers rather than single-cup use.
- Footprint: the 30x20x45cm body fits under-counter returns and narrow back bars where a full espresso machine will not go.
- Wetted materials: food-grade 304 stainless steel housing and steam path components resist corrosion from daily milk and cleaning cycles.
Matching the Machine to the Menu
Milk type changes the frothing behaviour more than most operators expect. Whole milk textures readily at moderate steam; plant milks vary widely in protein and fat content and need a gentler aeration profile. A programmable automatic unit lets you lock a profile per milk, while a manual wand leaves that judgement with the barista.

Utilities, Installation and Operator Safety
A steam frother is a simple install but an unforgiving one if the supply is wrong. The 2000W element sets the circuit requirement, and the machine needs a stable counter, clearance for the wand swing and a drain or drip route for condensate and purge water.
- Dedicated power circuit matched to the element rating and local voltage.
- Water supply for steam generation where the model is plumbed; otherwise a filled reservoir routine.
- Wand clearance so pitchers can be angled without contacting the housing.
- Auto-shutoff timer and cool-touch housing surfaces to reduce burn risk during busy service.
- Daily purge and wand wipe-down written into the opening and closing routine.
Build Quality and Compliance Evidence
Our frothers are built on food-grade 304 stainless steel with corrosion-resistant internal components, and the models are CE and RoHS compliant for international placement. Production runs under the Industry 3.0 management system introduced at the Kunshan base, with in-house laboratory testing before dispatch.
For projects that require documentation, we supply the compliance paperwork that accompanies the shipped configuration. Where a site has additional local requirements, those are raised at quotation stage so the correct variant is built rather than retrofitted.
Customization, Branding and Spare Parts
OEM customization is part of the standard offer on this line. Branding can be applied to the housing and interface so the equipment matches a chain identity, and our R&D team develops variants from customer samples where a project needs a different body or control layout.
- Housing branding and interface language options.
- Sample-based development for non-standard configurations.
- Original spare parts supply to shorten replacement downtime.
- Warranty terms agreed per project, with extended options available.
Information We Use to Configure Your Solution
A frother quotation is only accurate when it reflects the counter it will stand on and the drinks it will make. The following inputs let us select the right model, confirm the electrical scope and prepare a proposal that will not need revising on site.
| Project input |
Why we need it |
| Outlet type and daily cup volume |
Sets the choice between automatic and manual control and the required recovery rate |
| Milk types and menu range |
Determines aeration profiles and whether presets are needed |
| Counter dimensions and available height |
Confirms footprint and wand clearance |
| Voltage, phase and circuit capacity |
Matches the 2000W heating element to the site supply |
| Water supply and drainage arrangement |
Defines plumbed versus reservoir configuration |
| Branding, interface language and quantity |
Drives OEM customization and packing scope |
| Destination market and compliance needs |
Aligns documentation with CE, RoHS and local requirements |
Where a project covers a full beverage counter, we coordinate the frother with our Bar Equipment and ice supply so that power, water and layout are planned as one installation rather than three separate deliveries.
Frequently Asked Questions
What steam pressure do Bingluo milk frothers operate at?
Our current commercial steamer milk frother models run at 0.1MPa steam pressure with a 2000W heating system, which produces microfoam and hot milk quickly enough for peak service in cafes and hotel kitchens.
Should I choose the automatic or the manual model?
Choose the automatic electric foaming machine where staff rotate frequently or volume is sustained and consistency matters most. Choose the manual steam wand unit where trained baristas need control over foam density for latte art and specialty drinks.
What materials are used in the housing and steam path?
The machines use food-grade 304 stainless steel housings with corrosion-resistant internal components, built to withstand daily milk contact and cleaning cycles in commercial operation.
Can the frother be branded for our chain?
Yes. OEM customization is available on this line, covering housing branding and interface language. Our R&D team can also develop variants from customer samples where a project needs a different body or control layout.
What compliance documentation accompanies the equipment?
The models are CE and RoHS compliant, and the matching documentation is supplied with the shipped configuration. Any additional market-specific requirement is confirmed at quotation stage so the correct variant is produced.
How are spare parts and after-sales support handled?
We supply original spare parts to shorten replacement downtime and provide remote technical support, with warranty terms agreed per project and extended options available. Installation guidance and commissioning checks are part of the delivery scope.
