Carpigiani technology in the Pastochef RTL
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 Pastochef RTL:
Control, consistency and performance (6)
- Dry bain-marie heating and cooling: Heating and cooling through a dry bain-marie give consistent heat exchange, performance and energy use, and avoid scorching or crusting on the cylinder.
- Inverter speed control: Variable speed via the inverter improves the texture and final structure of products.
- Spiral-action beater and removable flap: Beater scraper paddles and a specially shaped removable flap move the mix vertically and horizontally for thorough mixing and cooking.
- Guided display: The large display shows production phases, temperatures and when to add each ingredient.
- Hot product warning display: A red display warns operators when contents exceed 50 °C, helping prevent mistakes with hot products.
- High-efficiency electric motors: Energy savings come from high-efficiency electric motors and high-performance capacitors.
Programs and recipes (9)
- Automatic pastry programs: Includes speed, classic and excellent custards, chocolate and zabaglione custards, lemon cream, panna cotta, tiramisù, Bavarian cream, jam, poached fruit, fruit jellies, glaze and dessert syrup.
- Customisable programs: Each program holds precise temperatures for consistent results, and parameters can be modified to suit the user’s recipes.
- Gelato mix pasteurisation programs: High pasteurisation at 85 °C, variable pasteurisation from 65 °C to 95 °C, semifreddo base and mix storage between 0 °C and +4 °C.
- Chocolate programs: Tempering for dark, milk, white and gianduia chocolate, speed tempering with cocoa butter, ganache, chocolate sauce, spreadable cream and storage tempering.
- Specialty programs: Cream puffs, brutti ma buoni, honey almond nougat, petit fours, butter cookies, frittelle, yoghurt and brigadeiro, all relying on precise temperatures.
- Gastronomy programs: Savoury cream, white sauce, savoury shortcrust, polenta, Italian meat sauce, rice cooking and fresh cheese.
- Free programs: Pastry chefs can store their own production cycles in five free programs, creating exclusive automatic programs.
- Custard Storage program: Keeps already pasteurised creams in storage if the machine stops unexpectedly or when products just need holding.
- Downloadable recipe book: Detailed recipes and ingredient information are available to download through the front-panel QR code.
Hygiene, cleaning and food safety (6)
- Black-Out and Water Supply Cut-Off protection: If time-temperature data show the product is unaffected, the cycle resumes; otherwise gelato mixes are re-pasteurised and cooked recipes go to storage, with a display warning.
- Double safety extraction spigot: Extraction is only possible after releasing a safety lock operable with one hand, and the spigot sends unextracted product back to the hopper.
- Three-position extraction spigot: The spigot has one position for cleaning, one for normal extraction and a larger one for fast extraction of dense products.
- Monolithic upper cylinder and spigot: The upper cylinder and spigot form a single continuous piece, preventing build-up of condensation and residue.
- Hot washing: Heating the cylinder surface quickly detaches and melts leftover fat.
- Drying program: After washing, the drying program eliminates humidity from the cylinder, which is essential before chocolate tempering.
Build, design and convenience (7)
- Transparent splash guard: A clear guard over the tap shields the operator from hot splashes during production.
- Removable extraction chute: The chute comes off to remove all gelato, cream or chocolate residue.
- Double ergonomic lid: A rigid, transparent double lid with a large hopper for adding ingredients while mixing, made from polymer that tolerates alcohol-based products.
- Versatile steel shelf: The shelf can be set in four positions, upright or flat, to hold containers and trays of different sizes.
- Rubber shelf mat: A hard-wearing rubber mat steadies containers of various sizes during extraction.
- Ergonomic rounded corners: Corners in the operator’s working area are more rounded to lower the chance of knocks and injuries during daily use.
- QR code information access: A QR code on the machine front links to the latest equipment information, including the instruction manual and Carpi Care and Carpi Clean kit details.
Optional extras (3)
- Teorema: Carpigiani’s remote control and diagnosis system lets owners and technicians monitor the machine over the internet, supporting faster service and continuity of 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 hygienically perfect condition. (optional)
