At 1,540 mm wide, 870 mm deep, and 2,015 mm high, these net dimensions are listed in the manufacturer brochure in the order width, depth, height (B × T × H). Net weight is 560 kg. Operators should check the planned floor space, transport route, and installation against these exact dimensions. The data sheet lists four combination feet with transport functionality, but does not publish floor load or clearance requirements. These points belong in site planning and in the specific quote.

The manufacturer website lists an adjustable cooking time of 35 to 240 seconds. The shorter time is for quick mode; four minutes is described as the normal operating setting. According to the manufacturer, the dual-basket system can use a pre-cooking stage. This allows cooking cycles to be adjusted for different sales periods. Whether both timings deliver the same product quality under identical conditions has not been independently confirmed.

For refrigerated storage, the data sheet lists a Liebherr freezer with an automatic feed system. It does not specify the freezer model, storage temperature, refrigerant, or refrigerant charge. Warm-up time from a cold start is also missing. Operators therefore cannot treat the stated cooking time as the time from a powered-off machine to the first sale-ready portion.

The manufacturer brochure lists coin, bill, and cashless payment with Nayax-Onyx. It also documents integrated telemetry with internet access to machine data, an accounting system, and remote control. The manufacturer website lists fill levels, machine parameters, statistics, and sales. These are manufacturer specifications and have not been independently confirmed. For a specific purchase decision, operators should clarify which functions and payment methods will be enabled in the delivered configuration. A specific MDB version and network connection are not documented for the PomMat in the reviewed manufacturer materials.

Currency note: the current Automatic Food Solutions product page says normal operation takes 2.5 minutes. The older PomMat page says four minutes. These are conflicting supplier statements, and the exact software/configuration behind each is unclear. The 35-second fast mode is not a promise for every serving.

According to the manufacturer brochure, old oil is pumped into a used-oil container. The manufacturer website describes continuous oil replacement and a replaceable charcoal air filter. This leaves operators with specific tasks: refill fresh oil and frozen product, handle the used-oil container, check the filter condition, and clean accessible parts. The source does not quantify cleaning time or replacement intervals. A reliable daily or weekly work plan must come from the operating manual and training.

The supplier says on the manufacturer website that it provides a site-specific HACCP plan for food monitoring. This is not a documented certification of the machine. A traceable operation needs documented inspection and cleaning procedures for the specific machine and its location. Operators should ask for a demonstration of which readings the telemetry records for this purpose before signing a contract. The mere mention of a plan does not establish that a complete hygiene plan is in place or that all operator obligations are automatically met.

Online support, on-site service, maintenance, spare parts, and training are listed on the manufacturer website. It specifies two days of training. According to the supplier, telephone support and assistance are free during the first year after purchase, except in cases of external interference or negligence. From the second year, service work is charged according to the work required. Specific repair prices and a warranty period are not published. With frying and freezing equipment in particular, operators should specify in the quote who handles regular maintenance, which wear parts to budget for, and how used-oil disposal will be organized at the site.

According to the manufacturer, the machine holds up to 12.5 kg of frozen fries. The supplier equates this with about 100 portions. This is a guide for replenishment planning, not a guaranteed daily output: the figure describes product capacity and does not account for the selected cooking cycle, cleaning, refilling, or interruptions. At a location with highly concentrated demand, dispensing rate and refill access should therefore be assessed separately.

The manufacturer website describes frozen fries, commercially available oils with an antifoaming agent, and salt, seasoning, and toppings as possible products. The machine is thus designed for one prepared product category. The published data do not fully show which toppings the specific configuration can accommodate or how they are stored hygienically. For operators, a demonstration with the actual ingredients planned for use is more useful here than a general product list.

On its FAQ page, the supplier cites average demand of 25 portions per day as a benchmark for a suitable location. This is a sales estimate, not an independently verified profitability threshold. According to the same source, cups must be purchased from the supplier; the operator sources the fries and fry picks. This purchasing requirement belongs in the cost calculation. It affects ongoing costs as well as product quality and replenishment logistics, while the published portion capacity alone does not indicate revenue.

Price on request: the official PomMat model page does not list a public net purchase price. The supplier describes outright purchase and installment purchase but does not give a machine price. The price fields in this review are therefore left blank. Depreciation per portion or a complete total cost calculation would also be misleading without a purchase price and reliable sales volume. An investment decision requires a written quote specifying machine configuration, enclosure, training, and service terms.

A dealer listing for the Integra Saratoga gives the same net measurements for size and weight, but refers to a different model. The identity of the 2 machines has not been established. The listing is also marked sold out and includes VAT. Its price is therefore not a documented net purchase price for the PomMat and has not been used in the price fields or treated as its purchase price in the assessment.

Ongoing costs also cannot be quantified from the published data. The manufacturer data sheet lists 220–240 VAC, approximately 16 A, and 50–60 Hz for the single-phase connection. It does not give rated power in watts, standby power, or consumption in kWh. Annual consumption based on a defined number of portions per day and operating days is also missing. The manufacturer’s stated A++ energy class is no substitute for these figures without a published label or measurement report. Electricity, oil, fries, cups, cleaning, and maintenance can therefore only be reasonably calculated per portion using quote and operating data. Last updated: October 27, 2026.

Illustrative scenario only, not a PomMat price: assuming an investment budget of €25,000–€38,000 net and a five-year useful life produces €5,000–€7,600 in purchase cost per year. At an assumed 25 portions on each of 365 days (9,125 portions/year), that is about €0.55–€0.83 per portion for the purchase cost alone. Oil, product, cups, electricity, cleaning, service, location, financing, and taxes are NOT included. This range is not supported by a PomMat quote and must not be presented as a market price.
