Carpigiani Ready: pasteurise, age and batch freeze gelato in one machine
Ready completes the entire gelato production process in one floor-standing machine: pasteurisation, ageing and freezing. It processes both hot and cold mixes in the same cylinder, so you need one machine instead of two.
Water Filling doses the exact amount of water for recipes and cleaning, and Hard-O-Tronic® lets you set and adjust the consistency of every batch.

Technology & features
What the Ready does for you
23 features in 5 groups. The tabs change by themselves until you choose one.
Hard-O-Tronic®
The LCD continuously shows programmed and actual gelato consistency; arrow buttons let the operator adjust to their ideal texture.
POM Beater
No central shaft and cold-resistant POM blades allow full extraction; self-adjusting scrapers keep the cylinder clean and efficient.
Post Cooling
Injects cold into the gelato as it exits the cylinder to keep its consistency.
Upright operation with accessible controls
The operator works standing upright, and the clear controls remain accessible while mix is being poured in.
Six automatic batch-freezing programs
Two programs for milk gelato and fruit sorbets, one for fruit slushes, two for milk- or fruit-based Crystal gelato and one for ice cream.
Six Water Filling programs (three hot, three cold)
Automatic hot and cold programs that use Water Filling to hydrate and mix ingredients inside the machine.
Six automatic heat-treatment programs
Three each for gelato and ice cream: pasteurise then freeze; pasteurise, age then freeze; or heat, cool and hold until you choose to freeze.
Ready technology – pasteurise, age and freeze in one machine
Processes hot and cold mixes to complete the full gelato cycle of pasteurisation, ageing and freezing in a single machine.
About Ready technology: pasteurise, age and freeze in one machine →
Automatic defrost after power loss
An automatic defrost is triggered after a power loss or accidental stop during production, allowing a quick restart.
Delayed cleaning program
Controls cylinder temperature after extraction so immediate washing is not needed during long stoppages.
Hot-cleaning and removable gelato chute
Heating the cylinder during cleaning plus a removable gelato chute simplify cleaning.
Water Filling (WF)
Dispenses the exact amount of water needed for recipes and cleaning; hydration and mixing happen inside the machine, saving time.
Door spacer
Can be fitted at any time to reduce the door opening, easing Crystal extraction and washing.
Shelf mat
Keeps trays and tubs in place while gelato is extracted.
Single-piece cylinder and front panel
Cylinder and front panel are a single piece for maximum cleanliness.
Scotch-Brite treatment
Treated steel panels resist stains and fat residues, making them quick to clean.
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
Internet-based monitoring and diagnosis via PC, tablet or smartphone make assistance easier.
Optional
3E beater
A special beater for ice cream, suitable for all models and available as a spare part.
Optional
Crystal Dispensing Door
Used with the Crystal program to fill containers and jars directly from the machine.
Optional
Air cooling option
Water-cooled as standard, with an air-cooled version available for a surcharge.
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 →
