Ice cream machine SPM-ICE 563212

A soft ice cream machine that dispenses product by gravity, eliminating the need for a pump and reducing moving parts. The mixture flows from the upper tank into the freezing cylinder under its own weight, where a refrigeration system chills and aerates it to the desired consistency. This method ensures steady output without surging or clogging, even during continuous service.

The operator fills the 6.5-litre upper tank with prepared mix, selects one of three texture settings, and starts the refrigeration cycle. The built-in cooling function in the tank pre-chills the mixture, cutting the wait before the first serving. Once the cylinder reaches the set temperature, the machine maintains it automatically, allowing the operator to pull the lever and dispense portions of consistent softness and overrun throughout the day. A second, smaller 2.3-litre cylinder sits below, ready for a different flavour or a secondary product such as frozen yogurt.

Construction is a white and black cabinet of food-safe materials, sized to fit on a standard worktop or counter. The gravity feed system has no pump or impeller, so cleaning is limited to the tanks, cylinder and dispensing head. Both tanks and the cylinder are removable for thorough washing and sanitising after each session. The refrigerant is R290, a hydrocarbon chosen for its low environmental impact and efficient cooling properties.

Controls consist of a three-position texture selector and a power switch. The selector adjusts the dasher speed and refrigeration cycle to produce soft-serve that ranges from light and fluffy to denser and creamier. The 1.0 kW power rating draws a modest load on a 220-240 V single-phase circuit, suitable for most commercial kitchens. The 70 kg weight requires two people to move the unit safely, while the 357 mm width and 521 mm depth leave room on either side for ingredient storage or additional equipment.

The machine is designed for counter-top use in cafés, dessert parlours and mobile units where space is limited but output must remain steady. Its footprint and weight make it easy to position near the point of sale without occupying floor space reserved for customer traffic.
