High capacity molding line for stick ice cream

Transform your frozen dessert production with an advanced molding line designed for high-capacity output, ensuring energy efficiency and enhanced product consistency from ice cream sticks to water ice novelties.

Molds and Freezes Novelty Ice Cream Products

The RIA 14 from Gram Equipment represents a cutting-edge solution in the realm of high-capacity ice cream production, capable of outputting up to 42,000 pieces per hour. This rotary molding line excels in crafting novelty molded stick ice creams and water ice treats by integrating a self-contained brine system, which ensures optimal freezing conditions and energy efficiency through its servo-driven mechanics.

With its advanced automation, the RIA 14 supports seamless transitions between products, reducing downtime and maximizing throughput for manufacturers of diverse frozen dessert offerings—from traditional ice cream bars to innovative dairy-free and layered fruit creations. The equipment’s internal coil evaporator and CO2 cooling options further enhance energy efficiency, while the durable moldtable design and precise stick inserter system uphold product quality and consistency.

Ensuring streamlined operations, the RIA 14 also features servo-controlled extraction and dipping capabilities, allowing for precise customization of the end product. Its design supports easy changeovers, enhanced by a low-maintenance requirement, making it a reliable workhorse for demanding production environments. Available in materials suited for rigorous food safety standards, Gram Equipment’s RIA 14 delivers both performance and compliance, underpinned by an intuitive PLC-controlled interface for integration into broader production lines.
