Summer is the best of all seasons! But for us - ice cream people - it is also the time of hard work.

In order not to lose a sense of humor in the daily whirl, we decided to collect some products we helped to manufacture, presenting them in a funny way.

In our “Summer Shorts” video series we recall different ice cream categories and different types of machines produced by us.

Here, in Ice Group, it is very rare that we manufacture equipment for a single product and its mass production. Our machines, usually multi-product and multi-functional, do not leave the changing market needs without an answer. This is our niche and our specialty. We invite the

perfect summer and sunny smile to every ice cream company in 2020!

We were just informed that two new machines sent to our Client in Latin America at the beginning of September have been successfully delivered. This time the Client ordered Frosto 750 Automatic continuous freezer in premium version, which will help the Client to meet the growing market demand. The second choice was Jumbo Servo Double, versatile semi-automatic servo-driven dosing station, which will help to make the production process easier for the Client and the use of different filling nozzles will make the final product more attractive for the final consumers.

We are proud to inform that we have shipped a 2 -wide rotary dairy filler Expert RVF 2 D.V. to a Customer in Bavaria. The product is coconut yoghurt (so dairy filler for non-dairy product). The machine ensures high hygiene, it’s equipped with many special functions, such as filters, air blowers, UV lids sterilization, steam cleaning of the product ducts, sealing tightness control with ejection of improperly closed cups.

We are about to ship the first part of ordered equipment to another new Customer outside of Europe. Being present in the market for many years and having the possibility of extending our cooperation with new Customers is the best appreciation of our work and our equipment.

The first shipment includes a highly customized line consisting of Expert LCF 6 wide, high speed machine for two sizes of cones along with Iglo Line 1500kg/h hardening tunnel. The line is equipped with robotized transfer system for unloading cones from Expert LCF onto the Iglo Line 1500 kg/h and then, second robotized transfer, unloading hardened cones from Iglo Line 1500kg/h and placing it onto outfeed conveyor. Not mentioned the dosing system, airless sprays, decorations, dry and wet topping, enabling the Customer to produce both, low budget and Super Premium cones.

With the beginning of October we are sending to our regular Russian Client Jumbo Robot 6 machine, used for filling large containers and decorating upper layer of ice cream in shapes imitating artisan ice cream.

The decorating hand of the robot allows to perform such movements as a result of which we obtain different shapes and forms: spirals, zigzags, waves, rosettes in large volume containers (1l, 5l) and cakes.

В начале октября мы высылаем в Россию очередного 6-ти осевого Jumbo Robota, с помощью которого можно наполнить мороженым  большие упаковки, а верхний слой мороженого заверишить  узором, что позволит создать имитацию ремесленного мороженого

Шесть осей движения руки-манипулятора робота позволит создавать много разнообразных узоров: спирали, зиг-заги, волны, розочки как в объёмных упаковках (1 л, 5 л) , так и в виде тортов.

We are happy to announce that our Expert CRF 4000 machine, accompanied by independent piston syrup pumps, will soon be delivered to the Pacific Islands!

This compact filler, controlled with Allen Bradley PLC and touch screen panel, is equipped with two enlarged by-pass valves that will allow the Client to fill ice cream with extra large solid pieces. Special dosing system with syrup not only on the outside but also injected inside the product will transform ice cream cups for the consumers into an exquisite product. Safety is key both on the production and consumption level, this is why the machine is equipped with CE standard safety shields and sealing station for hygiene assurance. In the future the machine will also produce cones.

One of our Customers, a Austrian producer of BIO ice cream, after buying our Frosto Automatic 600, has decided to take another step in automation and apply an Expert CRF 4000 for filling 250 and 500 ml cups. Both cups are sealed with pre-cut lids and closed with additional cardboard lids. This will allow the Customer to produce faster, meeting the growing demand for his excellent ice cream.

Expert CRF has been shipped and successfully launched and is now swiftly filling and sealing cups.

The growth of our Clients is of key importance to us. This is why we are very happy to inform about the delivery of a set of machines to our Client in Sweden, who is a producer of super premium, ecologic ice cream.

Frosto 600 Automatic continuous in premium version will allow to increase the Client’s production capacity and maintain the superb quality of his ice cream. Master FF 1200 fruit feeder will bring the ice cream composition to a whole new level, which enhanced by the multi point sauce injection unit will give the consumers unforgettable mouthwatering experience.

However, the greatest change comes with Expert CRF 4000 machine, which will allow the Client to fully automatize his cups production and save a lot of work. Equipped with special by-pass valve and enlarged dosing system Expert CRF 4000 machine will help to offer the Clients the most popular 500ml cups (with sealable lid and snap-on lid) and 125ml cups in American style – with large solid pieces and syrups inside and additional dry nuts topping.

During the past couple of months, we have been working even more intensively than usually. Our observations and, at the same time, conclusions, are surely subjective and it would be good to venture to make them objective. This article by our L. Arkadiusz Geratowski, published in parts on Linked-In in June 2020, is an attempt to launch a discussion regarding changes in relation to industrial ice cream market and to consumer habits. Which changes in your opinion are just temporary and which ones can turn out to be permanent?
