Ice cream machine STAFF Ice system 1959 HSX300

The STAFF Ice system 1959 HSX300 is a batch freezer designed for producing ice cream, gelato, and sorbets. This type of machine operates by chilling a base mixture while simultaneously agitating it. The internal mixer, driven by a motor, incorporates scrapers that continuously remove the freezing mixture from the cold walls of the tank, preventing large ice crystals from forming and ensuring a smooth texture. An inverter with an acceleration ramp controls the mixer's speed, and its torque is managed by an algorithm to adapt to the product's consistency.

The process begins by loading the ice cream base into the tank. The operator can then select one of the three mixer speeds and activate the freezing cycle. The machine allows for control over compressor operation and features ad hoc consistency control, enabling the production of gelato and sorbets with varying structures, densities, and trowel textures. Recipes can be tailored to achieve specific consistencies, whether creamy, compact, or dry. A tank defrost switch is available for clearing residual product, and a freezing cycle can be initiated during the extraction of finished product.

Construction includes a stainless steel mixer with self-adjusting, long-lasting POM scrapers. The unit is equipped with a high thickness stainless steel door and double door hinges. For operational feedback, it provides acoustic and visual malfunction indicators. A non-slip mat is included for the tank area.

The machine has a production capacity of 30 litres per hour. Its dimensions are 435 mm in length, 798 mm in width, and 1257 mm in height. The unit operates on a 400 V electrical supply and weighs 130 kg.

Cleaning involves the stainless steel mixer and tank components. The machine is listed in the catalogue under bar equipment and ice cream machines.
