Continuous freezer for ice cream processing

Achieve exceptional product uniformity and optimal texture with a continuous freezer designed to streamline your ice cream and specialty food production, enhancing efficiency through precise air incorporation and consistent output.

Freezes and Incorporates Air in Ice Cream

The Tetra Pak® Continuous Freezer S700 A2 is designed for ice cream manufacturers and specialty food producers seeking consistent quality and precise control in their production processes. This self-contained unit is engineered for high-speed, continuous freezing, mixing, and air incorporation, essential for creating diverse products such as ice cream bars, gelato, and sorbet. With a capacity ranging from 150 to 700 liters per hour, it accommodates varying production needs with ease.

Its working principle involves using a mass flow meter to accurately incorporate air, allowing for customizable texture control and minimizing production fluctuations with up to 140% overrun capabilities. The use of IE3 motors ensures high energy efficiency by significantly minimizing power consumption, while a compact footprint maximizes space utilization. The hygienic design features an automatic CIP cycle and a shaft seal that reduces downtime and ensures food safety.

Advanced automation is facilitated through an operator-friendly touch screen control panel, which supports quick start-up processes and stores up to 100 product recipes. Additional options such as dual outlet pumps and variable dasher speeds offer flexibility in production, enabling cost savings and tailored product results. Heavy-duty shaft seal kits and a low-temperature kit enhance durability and energy efficiency, providing optimized production conditions for enhanced texture and mouthfeel of ice cream products.

Benefits

  • Ensures consistent product quality and texture, reducing production variability and waste.
  • Lowers operational costs with energy-efficient IE3 motors and minimized power consumption.
  • Enhances production flexibility with adjustable air incorporation and variable dasher speeds.
  • Increases space efficiency with a compact design, optimizing production area usage.
