SPM-ICE GT TOUCH 5 L cold cream-slush dispenser

A counter-top dispenser chills and aerates water- or milk-based mixes into soft-serve ice cream, frozen yoghurt, cold creams and sorbets without freezing solid. The unit circulates refrigerant through an evaporator coil wrapped around each stainless-steel bowl. As the refrigerant evaporates, it absorbs heat from the mix, lowering its temperature while a built-in dasher stirs continuously. The stirring incorporates air, lightens the texture and prevents ice crystals from forming, so the product stays creamy and scoopable rather than turning into a block of ice.

The operator fills each of the independent 5 L tanks with the prepared mix, closes the lockable lid and selects the desired product on the interactive touch screen. The screen displays the menu in Italian or English, with additional languages programmable. Once the programme starts, the compressor and dasher run until the mix reaches the set consistency. A safety-stop system halts the dasher if the lid is opened, preventing contact with moving parts. The operator then presses the dispense button and the product flows through the tap into cups or cones.

The dispenser is built on a black or white plastic chassis with a stainless-steel finish. The lid and rear panel can be customised with graphics, subject to negotiation. An air-cooled condenser at the rear expels heat from the refrigerant, while I-Tank Technology reduces condensation on the bowl exteriors, keeping the unit looking clean and professional.

The touch screen controls all functions: selecting the product to dispense, adjusting settings and monitoring the process. Each tank operates independently, allowing different products to be prepared and dispensed simultaneously.

The 0.42 kW power rating indicates the load on the electrical circuit, suitable for a standard 220-240 V single-phase supply found in most professional kitchens. The 28 kg weight means the unit can be moved by two people or with a small trolley, while the 260 mm width, 425 mm depth and 650 mm height allow it to fit on a standard worktop or counter. The 5 L volume per tank determines how much product can be prepared in a single batch, reducing the need for frequent refills during service.

Cleaning involves removing the tanks for washing, wiping down the stainless-steel surfaces and ensuring the condenser fins remain free of dust. The lockable lid prevents contamination when the unit is not in use.

The dispenser is available in black or white. It works with powder-based mixes or ready-to-use product bases for ice cream, slush, cream or sherbet.

The product is listed in the SPM-ICE catalogue under cream-slush dispensers.
