SOFT SERVE MACHINE REFR HOPPER &AIR PUMP
Key Specifications (Typical)
Model: Varies by manufacturer ( SQL922-RH-AP, Donper D900H, Taylor C712).
Power: 220V / 230V, Single Phase, 2kW - 3kW
Hopper Capacity: Typically features two hoppers, with capacities ranging from 5.8 liters to 9.5 liters each. The refrigerated hoppers maintain the mix at a safe, cool temperature (below 41°F or 5°C).
Production Output: Varies depending on the model, but a common output is around 180 cones per hour or 20-25 liters per hour.
Dimensions (L x W x H): Generally range from 550 x 700 x 1330mm for floor models, but countertop units are also available.
Weight: Can range from 140kg to over 350kg for larger, more robust models.
Refrigerant: Typically uses a common refrigerant like R404a.
Key Features and Benefits
Air Pump (Overrun Pump): This is a key feature that pressurizes the mix and adds air to the product. This results in a lighter, fluffier texture and a higher "overrun" (the volume increase from added air), which leads to a greater yield and increased profitability.
Refrigerated Hoppers (Pre-cooling): These hoppers keep the liquid mix at a safe temperature before it enters the freezing cylinder. This function is crucial for food safety, as it prevents bacterial growth and reduces the need for frequent cleaning. Many machines have a "standby" mode to keep the hoppers cool overnight.
Construction: The machines are typically made from durable, easy-to-clean 304-grade stainless steel.
Digital Controls: Most modern units feature a digital display for easy operation, allowing you to monitor and adjust settings like temperature and viscosity.
Versatility: These machines are designed to dispense a variety of frozen desserts, including soft-serve ice cream, frozen yogurt, sorbet, and custard.
