Frequently asked questions
What counts as mid-size gelato equipment?
Batch freezers that make 20 to 90 kg of gelato an hour, with pasteurisers from 60 to 120 L. It suits a busy gelato shop, a group of shops or a central kitchen. Below that, see the Entry package; above it, industrial lines.
What does a mid-size gelato production line include?
A pasteuriser, a batch freezer, a blast freezer and storage, with a mixer and a filler if you need them. The Artisan Gelato HE Package is a ready-made five-machine line in this range.
How much gelato can the machines make?
The Labo 20 30 makes 20 to 30 kg an hour and the Labo 50 90 makes 50 to 90 kg an hour (70 to 126 L), in batches of 6 to 13 kg. The Pastomaster 120 HE pasteurises 120 L in a 120-minute cycle.
Can one pasteuriser supply several shops?
Yes. The Master Filler fills containers or bags with pasteurised mix, so you pasteurise once in a central lab and each shop only keeps its gelato fresh each day.
What power and water do they need?
Mid-size batch freezers and pasteurisers run on 400 V three-phase power and are water-cooled. We check power, water and floor space with you before installation.
When should I move to the large range?
When you need more than about 90 kg an hour, or you are supplying wholesale customers. The large range starts at 110 kg an hour and adds continuous production lines.
Is training, service and finance available?
Yes. Installation and hands-on training come with your order, our national service team looks after the machines, and finance options are available.
