Carpigiani 243 T SP: The most compact and simple twin-twist machine to produce more than 300 servings of 75g in one hour

The ideal Carpigiani soft serve machine for soft gelato, sorbets and frozen yoghurt.
Thanks to the Hard-O-Tronic® electronic control system, the desired consistency can be set quickly and easily. Thanks to the independent cylinders, products of different consistencies can be frozen simultaneously. The system can either be pump-fed or gravity-fed, with overrun adjustment even with a full hopper. Customisation with mixed system also possible: 1 pump feed and 1 gravity feed.
It is equipped with the Star Door that allows fitting the 18 different nozzles that can be purchased individually or in the optional kit. The machine can be equipped with the Winter Door, which allows the use of two completely separate cylinders by inhibiting the middle part.
The machine is air-cooled, and thanks to the rear chimney it is possible to optimise installation space and place several machines side by side. With the automatic self-pasteurisation system, you can choose when to wash the machine and schedule the next washing at a maximum interval of 42 days.

Carpigiani technology in the 243 T SP
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 243 T SP:
Control, consistency and performance (9)
- 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.
- Pressurised pump – Version P: Stainless steel pressurised pump with advanced thermoplastic polymer gears; holes in the pump regulator set overrun between 40% and 80%, adjustable even with a full tank.
- 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.
- Removable pump shaft: The pump shaft can be removed, simplifying cleaning and supporting hygiene and reliability.
- 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.
Programs and recipes (1)
- Modular programmable fan speed: Fan motor management offers three settings: prioritising hourly output, running quietly with low noise, or fixed operator-set speeds.
Hygiene, cleaning and food safety (3)
- 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.
Build, design and convenience (9)
- Independent cylinders: On the 243 T SP each cylinder runs independently, so products of different consistencies can be made simultaneously.
- 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.
- Versatile machine (single-side operation): Three operating functions let you use only the left or right side in low season and both sides at peak times; used with the optional Winter Door.
- 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 extras (7)
- Teorema remote control and diagnosis: Online system for remote monitoring of machine operation; Carpigiani technicians can see configuration parameters remotely, making service faster. (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)
- Blender: Built-in blender uses disposable spoons to mix toppings or syrups into a soft serve cup conveniently and hygienically. (optional)
- Pump / Gravity kit: Allows one cylinder to be pump-fed and the other gravity-fed at the same time. (optional)
- Winter Door: Blocks the central twist section so the two cylinders operate completely separately, adding flexibility in both washing and production. (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)
Optional features can be added to your order. Ask us about the configuration you need.
