Carpigiani technology in the 161 K SP Shake Acai Machine

Carpigiani engineers its own control systems and components, giving you technology other manufacturers can’t offer. Here is every technology Carpigiani’s official catalogue lists for the 161 K SP Shake Acai Machine:

Control, consistency and performance (4)

• Hard-O-Tronic® (H-O-T): Electronic control lets you easily change shake consistency to suit the product or style, from classic milkshakes to creamy modern shakes with more pronounced ice crystals.
• High Efficiency Helical Beater: A metal-bodied helical beater with interchangeable plastic flap maximises extraction performance and lets you adjust ice crystal size for your shake style.
• Adjustable dispensing speed: Delivery flow can be adjusted to suit different volume and speed requirements.
• High-performance electric gearmotors and condensers: New high-performance gearmotors and condensers are presented as a running-cost saving.

Hygiene, cleaning and food safety (4)

• Automatic self-pasteurisation (42-day cleaning interval): Choose when to wash, up to a 42-day maximum; if the full clean is not done by the set day the machine locks automatically for hygiene safety.
• Black-out and water outage protection: After a power or water failure the machine resumes if time-temperature data show the mix is unaffected; otherwise a self-pasteurising unit runs a pasteurisation cycle and alerts the operator.
• Multifunctional cleaning button with hot cleaning: Run pump and beater separately or together for cleaning; hot cleaning heats the cylinder while stirring to quickly dissolve production residues.
• Carpi Care kit and Carpi Clean kit: Dedicated gasket and brush kits, available from your dealer, to keep the machine hygienic and clean.

Build, design and convenience (10)

• Start Up Phase software: At start-up Carpigiani software modulates cylinder temperature to create an ideal compact, creamy shake with ice crystals present.
• Gravity feed – Version G: Different hole diameters in the feed tube naturally meter mix with air, suiting distinctive creamy, compact shake styles.
• 7 L direct expansion cylinder: Optimised refrigeration speeds freezing and avoids energy waste; the larger cylinder supports high production, and a repositioned feed hole makes pre-loading simple and safe.
• Tank agitator: Keeps the mix from separating in storage and improves heat exchange during pasteurisation.
• Button lock: Display buttons can be locked for added security against accidental errors.
• Scheduled start: Production, pasteurisation and storage programs can be timed to run automatically, such as overnight, so the machine is ready next day.
• Tank lids: 161 K has an ergonomic plastic hopper lid, 191 K a rubber lid that opens without removal, and K Shake a transparent ergonomic lid for inspection.
• Front panel options: 191 K comes with a classic plastic front panel; 161 K and K Shake have stainless steel front panels.
• Ergonomic design: Corners are more rounded where the operator works to reduce the risk of injury.
• QR code equipment information: Scanning the front QR code opens the latest instruction manual and Carpi Care and Carpi Clean kit information.

Optional extras (2)

• Teorema: Online monitoring and diagnosis via tablet, phone or PC; technicians can see configuration parameters as if at the machine. (optional)
• Mixer Shake: An integrated mixer incorporates toppings and inclusions into the shake. (optional)

Optional features can be added to your order. Ask us about the configuration you need.
