Ice cream machine SPM-ICE 563211

A pump-fed soft ice cream machine freezes and aerates liquid mix into smooth, creamy servings on demand. The refrigeration system circulates a natural refrigerant through a sealed coil wrapped around the freezing cylinder. As the mix enters the cylinder, a rotating dasher scrapes the chilled walls, folding air into the mixture and breaking ice crystals before they grow large. The result is a light, scoopable texture that holds its shape without hardening.

The operator pours prepared mix into the 4.5-litre upper tank, where a cooling coil keeps it chilled. A pump draws the mix down into the 2.3-litre freezing cylinder. Once the cylinder reaches working temperature, the dasher starts and the pump begins feeding mix at a controlled rate. The operator selects one of three consistency settings to adjust the ratio of mix to air, producing anything from a dense frozen yogurt to a fluffy soft-serve. Servings are dispensed directly from the tap into cones or cups, and the machine continues to freeze and aerate fresh mix as long as the tank is replenished.

The body is stainless steel finished in white and black panels. The upper tank and freezing cylinder are aluminium, chosen for rapid heat transfer. A pump feeding system eliminates manual ladling and maintains steady flow regardless of mix viscosity. The refrigerant is R290, a hydrocarbon that cools efficiently without ozone depletion potential.

Controls consist of a power switch, a three-position consistency selector, and a dispensing tap. The selector adjusts the pump speed and dasher torque to vary overrun and texture. The tap opens a valve at the base of the cylinder, releasing the finished product under its own pressure.

A 1.15 kW power rating indicates the load on the electrical circuit; the machine requires a dedicated 220-240 V single-phase supply. The 70 kg weight means the unit is moved on a trolley or pallet jack, not carried by hand. The 357 mm width, 521 mm depth and 647 mm height determine the space it occupies on a counter or floor stand, leaving clearance for the tap and hinged lid.

Cleaning involves flushing the tank and cylinder with warm water and sanitiser after each session. The pump and dasher assembly are removable for thorough scrubbing. The aluminium surfaces should be dried immediately to prevent oxidation. The refrigerant circuit is sealed and requires no maintenance.

The KARMA-PUMP is a single model with no variants. It is categorised under soft ice cream equipment in the SPM-ICE professional range.
