Ice cream machine STAFF Ice system 1959 HSX800

The STAFF Ice system 1959 HSX800 is a digital batch freezer designed for producing ice cream and similar frozen desserts.

A batch freezer operates by chilling and mixing a base liquid, typically ice cream mix, to a specific temperature while incorporating air. The internal beater or mixer churns the mixture, breaking up ice crystals as they form and introducing air to create a smooth, light texture. This process continues until the desired consistency is reached. The HSX800 features a stainless steel mixer equipped with self-adjusting and long-lasting POM scrapers that provide scraping of the inner tank walls, preventing ice build-up and promoting even freezing.

To use the HSX800, operators can prepare their ice cream base and load it into the tank. The machine offers customisable recipes and uses an Ad Hoc consistency control with a control algorithm for torque to manage the freezing process. The mixer has three selectable speeds, and an inverter with an acceleration ramp allows for controlled start-up. Once the batch is complete, the operator can remove the finished product. The machine is equipped with acoustic and visual malfunction indicators to alert the user to any issues. A tank defrost switch is also present for operational convenience.

Construction includes a high thickness stainless steel door and a stainless steel mixer. The unit is fitted with double door hinges for durability.

The controls include a tank defrost switch, and the unit features acoustic and visual malfunction indicators. The Ad Hoc consistency control and the torque control algorithm manage the freezing process, while customisable recipes allow for varied outputs.

The capacity specification of 80 L/h indicates the maximum volume of product the freezer can produce over a one-hour period. The machine can produce up to 16 litres of ice cream in a single work cycle. The voltage requirement of 400 V details the electrical supply needed for operation. The dimensions of 600 mm (length), 830 mm (width), and 1388 mm (height) specify the floor space and vertical clearance required. The weight of 300 kg indicates the unit's mass.

Cleaning and upkeep would involve maintaining the stainless steel mixer and tank, and ensuring the POM scrapers are functioning correctly. The defrost switch aids in cleaning the tank.
