PROCESS

Prepares and heats all ingredients up to 80°C / 176°F in the process tank (preparation and heating time: 50 min.).

Activates the pump in order to transfer the mixture into the transfer tank.

Begins preparing a new mixture in the process tank.

Connects the cooling tower and the cooling water reservoir.

Activates the circulating pump to force the mixture through the homogenizer.

When leaving the homogenizer, the mixture circulates through the heat exchanger, dropping the temperature from 80°C to 4°C / 176°F to 39.2°F, then conducts the pasteurized mixture to a maturation vat (refrigeration time to 4°C / 39.2°F: 60 min).

After the cooling is concluded, the process restarts by loading the new mixture, which has already been prepared in the process tank, into the transfer tank (this cycle is continuosly repeated).

The maturation vat is connected to a continuous freezer through a non-toxic hose.

The continuous freezer (SUPER C, SUPER C PLUS, SUPER C3 or C-JET) has a special pump that suctions the mixture from the maturation vat and produces the ice cream. Finamac™ continuous freezers allow enough outlet ice cream pressure to supply automatic filling machines to fill cups, sundaes, cones, etc.

Has the optional capability to connect the continuous freezer to a Finamac™ Fruit Feeder to introduce pulps and solid ingredients into the ice cream.

*Production depends on the climatic conditions of the location where the machine is installed.

- HEAT EXCHANGER

PURPOSE: To cool the homogenized mixture, completing the pasteurization cycle.

This cooling occurs by turbulent flowing through the lines formed between the plates, in thin threads that are a millimeter thick. On one side of the plates the product circulates to be cooled; on the other side, counterclockwise, the cooling fluid flows in two stages: First, it cools the mixture from 80ºC to 32ºC (176ºF to 89.6ºF) with water derived from the hydraulic circuit of the cooling tower; second, it cools down from 40°C to 4°C (104°F to 39.2°F) with a 30% water and alcohol solution. Outlet temperature of mixture: + 4ºC / 39.2°F. Solution temperature derived from the cooling unit: + 2°C / 35.6°F.

DESCRIPTION:

Counter-flow heat exchanger uses AISI 316 stainless steel plates, insulated with dismountable nitrile rubber joints.
