Technology & features
What the 161 T G SP does for you
25 features in 6 groups. The tabs change by themselves until you choose one.
Hard-O-Tronic® (H-O-T)
Carpigiani’s electronic consistency control lets the operator set and change soft serve texture quickly, from light vanilla to dense chocolate, sorbet or frozen yoghurt.
Gravity feed – Version G with overrun adjuster
Feed tube holes of different diameters naturally dose air into the mix; overrun can be adjusted even with a full tank using the overrun adjuster.
Removable high-efficiency POM beater
Removable beater with interchangeable food-safe plastic blades and shaft, designed to produce a smooth, creamy soft serve.
Tank agitator with adjustable speed
Keeps the stored mix from separating into layers and improves heat exchange during pasteurisation.
Adjustable dispensing speed
Delivery flow can be adjusted to suit different portion volumes and production requirements.
High-performance gearmotors and condensers
New high-performance electric gearmotors and condensers are presented as the machine’s energy-saving features.
Air cooling with rear chimney
The air-cooled design vents through a rear chimney, optimising installation space and allowing machines to be placed side by side.
Modular programmable fan speed
Fan motor management offers three settings: prioritising hourly output, running quietly with low noise, or fixed operator-set speeds.
Automatic self-pasteurisation
The standard heat-treatment system lets you choose the washing interval up to 42 days; if the full clean is not done in time the machine locks automatically.
Black-out and water outage protection
After a power or water failure the machine checks time and temperature; if the mix is safe it resumes, otherwise it starts a pasteurisation cycle or requests washing.
Multifunctional Cleaning Button with hot cleaning
Pump and beater can be switched on individually or together for cleaning; hot cleaning runs the stirrer while heating the cylinder to dissolve fat residues.
1.35 L direct expansion cylinder
The direct expansion freezing cylinder optimises refrigeration, shortening freezing times and cutting energy waste; a relocated feed hole makes pre-loading simple and safe.
Star Door
The Star Door dispensing door allows the new shaped nozzles and the single-portion kit to be fitted.
Self Closing levers
Automatic lever-closing taps stop the product flow after dispensing to avoid waste, and are easy to assemble and disassemble.
Scheduled start
Production, pasteurisation and storage programs can be timed to run automatically, such as overnight, so the machine is ready the next day.
Button lock
Display buttons can be locked for extra security against accidental operator errors.
Ergonomic design
Corners are more rounded in the areas where the operator works, lowering the risk of knocks and injuries.
QR Code equipment information
A QR Code on the front of the machine links to the latest instruction manual and Carpi Care and Carpi Clean kit details.
Optional
Teorema remote control and diagnosis
Online system for remote monitoring of machine operation; Carpigiani technicians can see configuration parameters remotely, making service faster.
Optional
Blockchain technology – Pay Per Use
Enables a secure pay-per-use sales method, using an innovative sensor that measures the quantity of mix in the tank very precisely.
Optional
Nozzles
Optional shaped nozzles let you choose and customise the look of each soft serve.
Optional
Monoportion kit
A kit of nozzles suited to filling small cups, cannoli and other single-portion frozen desserts.
Optional
Carpi Care kit & Carpi Clean kit
Dedicated kits of replacement gaskets and cleaning brushes, ordered through your dealer, to keep the machine in hygienic condition.
Optional extras can be added to your order or, for most items, fitted later. All Carpigiani options and accessories →
