Technology & features
What the 241 SP Steel does for you
33 features in 5 groups. The tabs change by themselves until you choose one.
Hard-O-Tronic® (H-O-T) consistency control
Carpigiani’s electronic consistency control lets operators set and change soft serve texture, from delicate vanilla to firm chocolate, to suit different product styles.
Choice of mix feeding system: pump (P) or gravity (G)
Pump versions use a pressurised steel pump with thermoplastic polymer gears for dry, compact product; gravity versions meter air through feed-tube holes for up to 40% overrun.
Adjustable overrun (pump regulator / overrun adjuster)
On pump models the regulator holes deliver 40–80% overrun; on gravity models an overrun adjuster uses feed-tube holes above and below the mix. Both can be changed without emptying the tank.
2E-RSI High Efficiency Beater
A stainless steel high-efficiency beater with plastic scrapers and a removable shaft, suited to soft, creamy soft serve.
High Efficiency POM Beater
A convenient one-piece beater made from food-grade plastic, supplied as standard on gravity-fed versions.
Adjustable dispensing speed
Dispensing flow can be adjusted to suit different serving volumes and speeds.
Independent pump transmission
On pump versions a separate pump transmission prolongs the life of the pump and gears while keeping performance high.
High-performance gearmotors and condensers
New high-performance electric gearmotors and condensers are used to reduce running costs.
Choice of cooling: air or water
Air-cooled units have a rear chimney so machines can sit side by side; water-cooled units use rear-mounted inlet and outlet connections. Water cooling is optional.
Removable pump shaft
The pump shaft can be removed, making cleaning easier and supporting hygiene and reliability.
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 self-pasteurising units run a pasteurisation cycle and non-pasteurising units prompt a wash.
Multifunctional cleaning button with hot cleaning
One button switches the pump and beater on or off separately or together; the hot-cleaning function heats the cylinder surface while stirring to break down fatty residues quickly.
Carpi Care kit / Carpi Clean kit
Dedicated kits of gaskets and brushes, available from the dealer, for keeping the machine hygienic and clean.
1.75 L direct expansion cylinder
The 1.75 L direct-expansion freezing cylinder optimises refrigeration for quicker freezing and energy savings, with a repositioned feed hole for simple, safe pre-loading.
Scheduled start
Production, pasteurisation and storage programs can be set to start automatically, for example overnight, so the machine is ready to serve the next day.
Tank agitator
Keeps the stored mix from stratifying and improves heat exchange during pasteurisation.
Button lock
Display buttons can be locked to avoid accidental operating errors.
Rubber tank lid
The rubber lid opens partially so the tank can be topped up without removing it; on 193 models each tank opens separately to avoid filling the wrong one.
Ergonomic design
Corners in the operator’s working area are more rounded to lower the risk of injury.
QR code documentation access
Scanning the QR code on the machine front brings up the current instruction manual and Carpi Care and Carpi Clean kit details.
Optional
Self-pasteurisation system
The automatic self-pasteurisation system lets you schedule full cleaning at intervals of up to 42 days; if cleaning is not done by the deadline, the machine locks itself for hygiene. Standard on 241 SP.
Optional
Teorema remote monitoring and diagnosis
Teorema lets owners check machine operation from a computer, tablet or phone and gives Carpigiani technicians remote access to settings for faster support.
Optional
Blockchain technology Pay-Per-Use
Enables a secure pay-per-use sales method, using a precise sensor that measures the quantity of mix in the tank.
Optional
Self Closing levers / Self Closing Door
Dispensing levers close automatically to stop product flow, reducing waste; they are easy to fit and remove, suiting venues with rotating staff.
Optional
Star Door
An alternative dispensing door (one-lever or twin-twist) that accepts Carpigiani’s newer shaped nozzles and the single-portion kit.
Optional
Nozzles
A choice of new, distinctive nozzles lets operators shape soft serve to match their own style.
Optional
Monoportion kit
A nozzle kit designed for filling small cups, cannoli and other single-portion frozen desserts.
Optional
Wash kit (water tap)
A water tap fitted above the tank makes cleaning easier.
Optional
Mixer Shake
An integrated mixer for blending toppings and inclusions into shakes.
Optional
Cabinet
A cabinet lets the machine be positioned and moved easily and safely, and includes an internal compartment for storing supplies.
Optional
Only You / Total Only You personalisation
Only You colours the front panel, while Total Only You colours the entire machine, chosen from Carpigiani’s dedicated colour range.
Optional
Stainless steel front panel
A stainless steel front panel is available in place of the classic plastic panel; standard on 241 SP.
Optional extras can be added to your order or, for most items, fitted later. All Carpigiani options and accessories →
