Technology & features
What the 161 K SP Shake Acai Machine does for you
22 features in 5 groups. The tabs change by themselves until you choose one.
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.
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.
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
Teorema
Online monitoring and diagnosis via tablet, phone or PC; technicians can see configuration parameters as if at the machine.
Optional

Optional extras can be added to your order or, for most items, fitted later. All Carpigiani options and accessories →
