Industrial freezer for ice cream production
Achieve consistent ice cream quality with precision freezing and texture control, minimizing waste while ensuring smooth operation through advanced start-up and freeze-up protection features.
Freezes and Controls Texture of Ice Cream
The WS Series from Gram Equipment offers a highly reliable solution for continuous ice cream production, designed to meet 3A sanitary and quality standards. This equipment stands out with its ability to deliver consistent texture and low deviation levels, making it ideal for ice cream bars, cones, tubs, gelato, sorbet, frozen yogurt, and soft serve ice cream. With a capacity range of 100 to 3,200 liters per hour, it ensures efficient throughput in demanding processing environments.
Key features include a smart start system and multi-language HMI for minimal start-up rework, and an air-purge function for quick cylinder draining, reducing downtime. The WS Series integrates seamlessly with existing production lines and minimizes waste with precise process control and freeze-up protection. Operating at low RPMs, it conserves energy while maintaining production quality.
Constructed from robust materials, it is compatible with CO2 refrigeration systems and offers reduced maintenance due to its efficient pump, knife, and dasher design. Easy access for inspection and service, combined with options for RFID-based access control, ensure user-friendly and secure operation. The WS Series also supports future-proof customization and engineering support to meet specific production requirements.
