Serve Elegant Frozen Desserts with Gelato Machines

Commercial gelato machines are designed to make the popular Italian ice cream gelato thicker in texture and shinier in appearance. Agitators churn a base mix as the freezing cylinder chills it. The blending and freezing actions happen simultaneously to prevent the formation of ice crystals and create a fluffy, creamy texture. Most gelato makers can prepare a range of milk-based frozen desserts, from sorbets to custards. Therefore, they are ideal profit drivers for all the foodservice facilities.

3 Crucial Points For Buying A Gelato Machine

All gelato machines work in the same way. The frame and mixing paddles are often stainless steel to withstand heavy use in commercial environments. They can have one or two removable, dishwasher-safe hoppers for flavor diversity. However, some gelato ice cream makers can offer multiple flavors in one hopper with a unique feature that twists different flavors as they are dispensed. The number and capacity of cylinders specify the gelato ice cream machine’s hourly production. You can make your selection based on the following points.

  • Installation Type: Countertop gelato machines are perfect for low to medium-volume demands, producing 10 to 50 quarts per hour. Floor models often come with a higher capacity and additional features, like casters for mobility. Their hourly throughput ranges from around 25 to over 150 quarts.
  • Cooling: Gelato maker machines have self-contained refrigeration cooled with air or water. Air-cooled systems are more widespread as they are more affordable. Fans blow out hot air to help with the cooling process, which may increase the ambient temperatures and reduce efficiency. Therefore, if you are in a hot place and do not have a powerful A/C system, you should prefer water cooling.
  • Operation Type: Professional gelato machines feed the base mix from the hopper into the freezing cylinder in two ways. Gravity-fed machines let the mixture flow through a tube down the cylinder. These gelato machines are easier to maintain as there are fewer moving components. Air pump models use a pump to do the same job, which allows operators to adjust the air in the mix. This operation type yields greater output and a softer texture, lending itself suitable for high-volume facilities.
