Extruded ice cream with large inclusions
Streamline your ice cream production with an innovative extrusion solution, allowing for the seamless integration of large inclusions like cookies and biscuits, ensuring intact textures and unique product designs that captivate the consumer market.
Extrudes and Shapes Ice Cream with Inclusions
The LIFE and LIFE-3D extruders from Gram Equipment are designed for ice cream producers seeking innovative ways to integrate large inclusions into their products without compromising quality. These units utilize the patented Cryo-ZAT™ (Zero Adhesion Technology) to extrude, shape, and stamp ice cream while maintaining the structural integrity and size of inclusions, such as whole biscuits and large cookie pieces. They cater to a wide range of frozen dessert applications, including dairy-free ice cream bars and 3D-shaped treats.
Capable of producing up to 120 products per minute, the LIFE system operates efficiently in both stick and stickless formats, adapting to existing production line configurations. It supports continuous high-speed operation, ensuring seamless integration across different processing stages, from ingredient feeding to final conditioning.
Material options for the LIFE unit are robust, providing reliable performance and durability. With an emphasis on reduced maintenance, the system includes easy-to-clean components to support rigorous hygiene standards. Whether customizing inclusion types or seeking engineering support, Gram Equipment offers tailored solutions to enhance your product offerings.
