Vertical Batch Freezer

A vertical batch freezer is a machine that freezes ice cream in batches inside a vertical cylinder while churning the mix to incorporate air and create a smooth, fully frozen product. It’s commonly used in small to medium ice cream parlours, gelato shops, and dessert kitchens. These machines are highly favored in artisanal production for their ability.

Features of Vertical Batch Freezer

Design

The vertical cylinder design allows for easy loading of the mix and addition of ingredients like fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips at any stage of the production cycle without interfering with the process.

Precision Control

Features an automatic consistency control system and an LCD display, allowing operators to monitor the freezing process and adjust overrun and temperature precisely.

Material

The freezing cylinder, beater with Teflon scraping blades, and all contact parts are made of high-quality, food-grade stainless steel (SS 304) to ensure hygiene and durability.

Efficiency

Direct expansion cylinders ensure quick and efficient freezing, with production cycles typically lasting 12 to 15 minutes, allowing multiple batches per hour.
