STAFF Ice system 1959 Electromechanical Batch Freezer BTM5 A

The STAFF Ice system 1959 BTM5 A is an electromechanical batch freezer designed for producing frozen desserts.

An electromechanical batch freezer operates by chilling a mixture while simultaneously agitating it. The refrigeration system lowers the temperature of the mixture within a freezing cylinder, while a mixer, in this case with a polyethylene friction surface, incorporates air and prevents ice crystals from forming too large. This process allows for the creation of smooth, consistent textures in products like ice cream or sorbet. The vertical cylinder design of the BTM5 A enables the operator to monitor the progress of the production cycle directly.

To use the BTM5 A, ingredients are loaded into the machine. The double lid allows for additional ingredients to be introduced during the freezing cycle without interrupting the process. The unit is air-cooled and features micromagnetic protection, which automatically stops the device if the cover is opened, enhancing safety. Once the batch is ready, it can be dispensed. A water drain is conveniently located directly under the cylinder for easy cleaning.

Construction details include food-contact parts made from non-toxic stainless steel, ensuring hygiene and durability. The outer casing is designed with rounded edges.

Specifications for this model include a production capacity of 6 litres per hour, with a capacity of 1 to 1.5 litres per work cycle. The unit measures 435 mm in length, 570 mm in width, and 515 mm in height, with a weight of 40 kg. It operates on a 230-volt electrical supply.

Cleaning is facilitated by the water drain and the materials used in its construction.
