For a vertical type gelato batch freezer, which combines the functions of gelato production, storage, and display, the gelato can be made at a chilling temperature of approximately -12 degrees Celsius. The gelato produced in this type of batch freezer does not need to undergo a second freezing process and can be consumed immediately. This type of gelato batch freezer is suitable for small-scale gelato producers.
On the other hand, a horizontal type gelato batch freezer is more suitable for high-volume production with multiple flavors. In order to ensure efficient dispensing, the gelato is typically made at a temperature of around -5 degrees Celsius. After being dispensed from the batch freezer, the gelato is transferred to a blast freezer at approximately -40 degrees Celsius for about 10 to 15 minutes, and then moved to a commercial freezer at around -18 degrees Celsius. The gelato can then be displayed and sold in a gelato showcase or transferred in insulated containers to other selling locations.
It is important to choose the appropriate gelato batch freezer based on your specific commercial needs.
