• Increased flexibility metered into the freezing cylinder by a gear pump. A con-
stant airflow is fed into the cylinder together with the mix.
• Can handle a wider product range
The freezing cylinder is cooled by the built-in freon refrig-
• Low product loss eration plant. During the passage through the cylinder, the
air is whipped into the mix by a dasher.
• User-friendly
The stainless steel blades mounted on the dasher continu-
ously scrape the frozen ice cream from the inside wall of
the cylinder. The ice cream then passes to the outlet pump.

chosen to minimize wear. The pumps are driven by frequen-
cy-innverter-controlled gear motors.

Air metering
An air mass flow controller regulates the air flow and se-
cures that the overrun of frozen ice cream is kept at the
preselected value. A built-in air-drying unit secures that the
water content is less than 0.8 g/m3 (0.02 g/cu. ft.).

Control panel
The freezer is equipped with Siemens PLC and all opera-
tions of the machine are operated from the front touch-
screen panel. The control panel provides clear and easily
understood information to the operator by means of
graphic displays and written text and includes the following
features:
• Easy monitoring and adjustments of process param-
eters.
• Up to 100 recipes for different products can be stored
to facilitate fast start-up and easy operation.
• Automatic viscosity or outlet temperature control with
display of pre-selected and actual viscosity / tempera-
ture.
• Protection against impending overload.

Installation
After connection to power, water, air and mix supply, the
freezer is ready for production.
