Pilot plant for ice cream production
Optimize your ice cream production with a flexible pilot plant that seamlessly integrates processes from mixing to extrusion, enabling precise control and experimentation for diverse dessert creations.

Mixes, Freezes, and Moulds Ice Cream Products
The K60 and K120 pilot plants from Catta 27 are engineered to streamline the development and semi-industrial production of ice cream and desserts. These versatile systems mix, freeze, and mold various products, including ice cream cups, cones, and sticks. With cycle production capacities of 200 and 300 liters respectively, they offer tailored solutions for both small-scale R&D and larger production environments. Integrated PLC controls enable precise management of all processes, from mixing to hardening, ensuring consistency across batches. The equipment utilizes an R 404A and R 507 refrigerant system, optimized for energy efficiency and environmental compliance. Built to withstand demanding production schedules, the K60 and K120 feature robust construction in corrosion-resistant materials. Maintenance is straightforward with easily accessible components, and the entire system can be configured to meet specific operational needs, backed by Catta 27’s expert engineering support.
