What you need to know about the Ice Clean ice cream machine

The Ice Clean machine is the ideal piece of equipment for companies looking to produce gelato. They are designed specifically for the production of gelato, acai and ice cream but include functions that go above and beyond in design details.

In this article we will explore the secrets of the Ice Clean line and try to understand why it's such an important piece of machinery when it comes to building an ice cream business. 

What is the Ice Clean ice cream machine?

The Ice Clean machine was developed to revolutionize the production of gelatos, incorporating a special heating system for the utilization of pasteurization within the machine. This ensures that small amounts of mixture are pasteurized during the production process making it a less expensive but a more effective option for small artisan shops.  

Although it was created with inspiration from gelato machines, the Ice Clean machine is multifunctional. It also makes other products of the segment, such as aerated ice cream and açaí.

Another advantage of the Ice Clean machine is its ability to create extra fine ice crystals for silky smooth texture. The gelato will be consistent and soft right out of the machine. Yielding a much better result than traditional ice cream production.  

As post-freezing is not necessary, everything that comes out of Ice Clean can be decorated and served instantly allowing for a very quick turnaround time.

In addition, the machine creates completely natural ice cream. It has professional grade cooling and churning capability. Introducing ingredients such as fruits and chocolates during production is easy, as operators will not need to grind them separately before incorporation. Just adjust the ice cream and set to lower rotations for the cylinder..

Ice Clean also brings advanced air incorporation control, which helps you create premium products. Working with small or large amounts of ice cream, it will be possible to produce multiple flavors without waste.

How does the Ice Clean ice cream machine work?

The Ice Clean ice cream machine has an intelligent texture control. It works by measuring consistency of the product within the machine itself. In gelato, this consistency is a differential — after all, you don't get the same result with machines made for the production of aerated ice cream.

The Ice Clean has a digital cooling feature, which controls consistency for production. It is the only one on the market that works with an algorithm to make the necessary changes for the best texture in all recipes. 

Ice Clean continues its consistency at the time of extraction. Allowing all ice creams removed from the machine to have the same quality throughout the entire production process, even if it is the last to be extracted.

What processes are done on this equipment?

As we mentioned, Ice Clean machines can incorporate the pasteurization process, making it possible to produce gelato from scratch, using the ingredients you want.

The machine has an ice cream beater that spreads the liquid mixture throughout the freezer cylinder. Blades supported on springs remove the layers of frozen ice cream from the cylinder wall, mixing it all together. The air is incorporated in a strategic way, which guarantees great consistency and creaminess for the gelato.

The machine controls the cold on the ice cream intelligently, so as not to super freeze the mixture when there is less product in the cylinder. This helps your company save on energy consumption and ensure the integrity of each gelato's flavor.

The output of the ice cream is also optimized, helping to avoid thermal losses or the formation of crystals, which are common to the metal caps of other gelato machines. The food slides through a hatch that can be easily sanitized after production.

Self-adjusting scraping spatulas are positioned on the side and bottom of the cylinder, eliminating the waste of ingredients in the heated mixture. Draining the machine is also a simpler process, done with an electric valve located in the cylinder inlet funnel.

What is the production capacity of the Ice Clean ice cream machine?

Ice Clean's production capacity really depends on the product being made. It can range from 30 to 100 liters per hour in the production of ice cream or açaí. The ideal measurement for gelatos, however, is done in kilos, and the output production is 80 kg/hour

For whom is this product recommended?

The equipment was specially developed for gelaterias, focused on working specifically with gourmet products. We also enjoy working with shops who want to incorporate the exhibition of the equipment as a way to attract customers by visual impact. Made to create high quality products, Ice Clean is ideal for artisanal producers.

What are the differentiators for Ice Clean Line ice cream machines?

The Ice Clean line has two models, which serve specific audiences. The Ice Clean P comes with a built-in pasteurizer. It's for producers who are starting out and do not own a dedicated pasteurizing machine. In general, these ice cream parlors make a smaller amount of gelato and must acquire the Ice Clean P.

The Ice Clean machine, on the other hand, does not come with the heating system needed to pasteurize the gelato. This is for ice cream parlors that already have pasteurizer, but do not make the frozen treat yet.

Where can I find the Ice Clean ice cream machine to buy?

The Ice Clean ice cream machine is a 100% national product, authorized to operate worldwide. It has sanitary and ecological certifications that are a requirement for first world countries. You can ask for a quote on the FINAMAC website.

The Ice Clean machine is designed to be different from all other machines sold around the world. It's not just a stainless steel crate with a number of components inside. The design of the machine has a beautiful aesthetic and draws attention anywhere it goes. 

For this reason, your Ice Clean ice cream machine can be placed in front of the gelateria and does not need to be hidden from customers. By bringing the production line closer to customers, your company will be able to clearly display the process of creating the gelato which is a great marketing tool to help spread awareness about your brand.
