Rokk’s Veloce-Freeze barrel makes industrial artisanal gelato possible

fiogf49gjkf0d Rokk Processing has continued its tradition of evolving ice cream production techniques with the launch of the new Veloce-Freeze barrel, which, with its ability to freeze an entering ice cream mix in a few seconds, allows manufacturers to produce artisanal, gelato-quality ice cream on an industrial scale.
Available with all of ROKK’s RFE range of continuous freezers, the Veloce-Freeze barrel utilises new design technologies to ensure that the quality and flavour of the mix ingredients is maximised in a luxurious, hard and dry gelato-style end-product.
Phil Darvell, managing director, ROKK Processing, said, “Ensuring a quick freeze is essential for producing high-quality ice cream. Failure to do so allows ice crystals to form within the product, leaving it with that opened and refrozen texture, not to mention the negative, watering down effect on the flavour.”
In addition to an improved texture and flavour, the speed at which the new barrel is able to freeze the mix also heavily reduces the common problem of start-up wastage and unusually, considering its freezing power, cooling water usage.
Darvell added, “Traditionally, when starting a new production run, there is a delay between start-up and the production of a sellable product. The result is a wasted mix. It may not be exponential amount, but it is unquestionably a daily occurrence, and if measured over the course of a year, or even a month, it is a loss that should not, and no longer has to be, considered acceptable.”
“The Veloce-Freeze barrel’s freezing power negates this wastage, allowing for profit margins to be increased. And with the reduced cooling water usage and the subsequent reduction in bills, companies can expect these margins to be increased further,” he added.
As with all Rokk machines, the RFE range hosting the new Veloce-Freeze barrel has been designed and manufactured around Rokk’s core principles of being simple, solid and dependable, resulting in only the very best, industry-recognised, components being used to ensure each machine is of the highest quality, versatile and extremely reliable.
The over-sized chassis used to construct the RFE series are built entirely out of premium stainless steel to maximise performance and reduce vibrations and sound pollution.
“Getting the best results from these machines is extremely simple, ” said Darvell. He added, “As the components already work in union to create a high-quality, luxurious end-product. There is no need for a complicated programmable logic controller (PLC) system. As such, the RFE range utilises easy-to-use switches, which eradicate the unreliability that can be associated with continuous freezers fitted with touch-screen controls, as well as the cost of repair or replacement should they fail.”
“Despite all the positives the freezing barrel and RFE series brings to the table, its standout feature is its most important one, and that’s its ability to produce an end-product that consumers would desire. After all, without demand, there is no need for supply, and in the current marketplace, many consumers want a quality ice cream that they can consider a treat, and they don’t mind paying a little more for it,” he added.
The RFE continuous freezer range comes in three sizes - the RFE 600 (which offers upto 620 litre per hour); the RFE 800 (which offers 840 litre per hour), and the largest of the current range, the RFE 1200 (which offers up to 1,250 litre per hour).
