High capacity molding line for ice cream sticks
Optimize your frozen dessert production with a high-capacity system that integrates molding, freezing, and precise stick insertion, ensuring consistent quality and efficiency.
Molds and Extracts Ice Cream Stick Products
The RIA 8 from Gram Equipment is a high-capacity ice cream molding machine tailored for large-scale production of stick-based frozen desserts. This self-contained unit integrates a hot and cold brine system with minimal maintenance requirements, featuring servo-driven operations for precise and efficient processes. Capable of producing up to 27,000 pieces per hour, the RIA 8 accommodates a wide range of applications, including ice cream bars, fruit popsicles, and gelato sticks.
Leveraging its internal coil evaporator, the machine ensures optimal brine contact, thereby enhancing energy efficiency and freezing performance. The RIA 8’s modular design empowers seamless integration into existing production lines, offering flexibility through quick changeovers and recipe-based setups. Its automated stick insertion system and servo-controlled extraction provide consistent product quality while reducing the risk of downtime.
The RIA 8 is constructed from durable materials, with double-sealed mold tables that prevent leaks and improve product uniformity. Optional features, such as CO2 cooling and external evaporators, allow further customization to meet specific operational needs. This molding line is ideal for ice cream manufacturers and frozen dessert producers seeking robust, continuous, and efficient solutions for their processing lines.
