STAFF Ice system BFE400 A Electromechanical Batch Freezer

The STAFF Ice system 1959 BFE400 A is an electromechanical batch freezer designed for the production of gelato, ice cream, and sorbets.

An electromechanical batch freezer operates by chilling a mixture while simultaneously agitating it. The refrigeration system lowers the temperature of the mixture, while the mixer incorporates air and prevents large ice crystals from forming, resulting in a smooth texture. This process is carried out in batches, meaning a set quantity of mixture is processed at one time.

To use the BFE400 A, the operator would prepare the ice cream mixture and load it into the machine. The machine is designed to produce up to 5 litres of ice cream per work cycle. Once the cycle is complete, the finished product can be removed. The machine is equipped with air cooling.

The construction includes stainless steel and non-toxic materials for all parts that come into contact with the product. These components are designed for easy access and removal to facilitate cleaning.

Operation is managed via a front control panel featuring reference switches and icons. A key safety feature is the certified safety control unit that stops the mixer when the lid is opened. The machine also includes a shelf that can accommodate various container types and is adjustable for both height and depth.

The capacity of 40 litres per hour indicates the potential output over a continuous period. The dimensions of the unit are 600 mm in length, 836 mm in width, and 1335 mm in height. It operates on a 400 V electrical supply and weighs 180 kg.

Cleaning is simplified by the removable and accessible parts that come into contact with the product.
