Ice-cream storage display STAFF Ice system 1959 V410VFI

An ice cream cabinet keeps gelato and sorbet at serving consistency by circulating cold air around fixed stainless-steel vats. The static cooling system removes heat without forced fans, relying on natural convection to maintain an even temperature across every vat. This method avoids dehydration and ice-crystal growth, preserving texture and flavour over long service periods without the noise or vibration of a compressor-driven cycle.

The operator loads the vats with pre-frozen product, closes the hinged glass lid, and sets the electronic thermostat to the desired holding temperature between -25 °C and +4 °C. A built-in thermometer displays the current reading, allowing visual checks without opening the cabinet. When the temperature rises above the set point, the cooling cycle starts automatically; when it falls below, the system pauses, preventing over-chill. Manual defrost is initiated by switching the thermostat to defrost mode, melting any frost build-up on the evaporator coils.

The cabinet is constructed from stainless steel with an insulated double-walled body. The interior holds two 5 L vats, four 2.5 L vats, or one 5 L and two 2.5 L vats, arranged on a single shelf. The exterior footprint of 495 mm by 495 mm fits on a standard worktop or under a counter, while the 665 mm height allows easy reach over the glass lid. A weight of 34 kg permits two-person movement without a trolley.

The electronic thermostat-thermometer control sets the holding temperature and initiates defrost. The 230 V voltage requirement matches a single-phase domestic or commercial circuit, drawing current only during the cooling cycle. The -25 °C to +4 °C range covers deep-freeze storage, tempering, and serving temperatures for gelato, sorbet, and soft-serve mixes.

Cleaning involves wiping the interior and vats with a damp cloth after defrosting, ensuring no moisture remains on the evaporator coils. The glass lid is cleaned with a non-abrasive detergent to maintain visibility. The static cooling system requires no filter changes or fan maintenance.

The V410VFI is listed in the STAFF Ice system 1959 catalogue under static-cooling ice cream cabinets.
