STAFF Ice system 1959 BFM10 A Batch Freezer

The STAFF Ice system 1959 BFM10 A is an electromechanical batch freezer.

An electromechanical batch freezer operates by chilling a mixture while simultaneously agitating it. The agitation prevents large ice crystals from forming, resulting in a smoother texture. The machine typically consists of a freezing cylinder where the mixture is cooled by a refrigeration system, and a stirrer that incorporates air and breaks up ice crystals as they form. This process is carried out in batches, meaning a specific quantity of mixture is processed at one time.

To use the BFM10 A, the operator would prepare the ice cream mix and load it into the machine. The timer can be set to control the freezing duration. Once the batch is complete, the product can be dispensed. The freezer is equipped with a double lid, allowing for the addition of ingredients during the mixing process without interrupting the cycle. A safety feature, a micro magnet, stops the stirrer before the lid can be fully opened.

The construction of the BFM10 A includes a stainless steel body and polyurethane insulation, providing thermal efficiency. The stirrer is fitted with a polyethylene blade. All components that come into contact with food are made from stainless steel and non-toxic materials, adhering to hygiene standards.

Controls on the unit include a timer for managing the freezing cycle and a reset function. The double lid facilitates ingredient addition.

The capacity specification of 10 L/h indicates the potential output rate of the machine over an hour. The 1.5 L volume refers to the size of the batch that can be processed at one time. The dimensions of 435 mm in length, 564 mm in width, and 940 mm in height define the physical space the unit occupies. The 230 V voltage rating specifies the electrical power requirement. At 66 kg, the weight indicates the unit's mass.

Cleaning of the machine should focus on the parts that come into contact with the product, ensuring they are maintained according to hygiene regulations. The stainless steel and non-toxic materials used in these parts facilitate cleaning.
