As an example, single-skinned tanks if you have space in your 4 deg cool room, or insulated and jacketed tanks so we can circulate glycol to keep your premium ice cream mix in the best possible condition.

Depending on the degree of accuracy that your process demands, we will use load cells, flow meters, or level sensors (or a combination of these) for measuring and dosing your ingredient.

From powder blending, wet milling, high-shearing and hydration of your ingredient we accurately build your product mix for further processing.

The most common application for homogenisation in dairy is to disperse the cream in milk or ice cream mix into a homogenous emulsion, preventing future cream separation and keeping the product in a consistent state over time.

Homogenisation occurs via mechanical means, the product is subjected to high pressure/velocity as it is forced through a small orifice causing turbulence and cavitation thus high shear breaking the particles down and dispersing them throughout.

Homogenisers are also used for various different pharmaceutical or laboratory applications. With a fully integrated design and process team at Thermaflo, we are able to specify the correct homogeniser and high-pressure pump units specifically for your application.

The range boasts uniquely designed high-efficiency barrels that are capable of cooling an entering ice cream solution to ultra-low temperatures in a matter of seconds. As a result of this exceptionally quick ability to freeze, the machines ensure that ice molecules don’t have time to form, producing a hard, dry and luxurious end product each and every time.

As well as a hot gas defrosting system to provide accurate regulation of viscosity and automatic freeze-up protection, each RFE continuous freezer is also fitted with a powerful twin-piston pump to ensure that seeds, fruit and other particles are passed through easily without the risk of causing blockages and disruption to the business through subsequent downtime.

The RFE continuous freezer range comes in seven sizes, ranging from the RFE 300, an entry-level continuous ice cream churn, suitable for small scale production of 100- 300 litres of product per hour, all the way through to the industrial scale RFE 1600 which offers up to 1600 litres per hour.

Why Choose A RFE Continuous Freezer Ice Cream Churn

Simple to operate: Each machine in the RFE series is fitted with electromechanical controls to provide complete yet simple control throughout the freezing process.

Quick and efficient freezing: Each machine is host to an industry-unique, high-efficiency barrel to ensure a rapid freezing procedure that doesn’t allow for ice crystals to form within the product.

Powerful pumps: Powerful twin piston pumps allow for seeds and fruit pulp to pass through easily without the risk of causing blockages.

Consistent aesthetic fill design: The RFE series provides a steady and controlled output to ensure easy product management and consistent, aesthetically pleasing fill designs.

Well-engineered and highly reliable: the range has been designed and manufactured around 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.

Chassis: The over-sized chassis’ used to construct the RFE series are built entirely out of premium stainless steel and aluminium to maximise performance and reduce vibrations and noise pollution.

We have a wealth of experience with ice cream mix plant design and fabrication, with many of our clients winning top awards for their product.  Whether you require a boutique batch process, or a larger scale inline ice cream mix plant, we will design the process to your requirements.

Depending on what ingredients you are putting into your mix, the amount of sugar, gums, additional cream, all effects the pasteurisation, homogenisation and storage processes. By understanding what ingredients you are incorporating into your mix, we use our expertise to ensure that the design is optimal to create your ice cream mix.

Following on from the pasteurisation and homogenisation of your ice cream mix, our engineers then integrate the required aging vats with your process. We are able to build custom tanks that are designed specifically for your process and plant layout to best utilise the space that is available.

We offer a complete range of ice cream mix preparation equipment, from small boutique processes all the way through to large commercial scale equipment. It is this flexibility that ensures you get a mix plant that is fit for purpose, will allow you to produce a top-quality product and will assist your company as it continues to grow while production levels increase. We also supply batch and continuous freezer churns as well as ice cream fillers to provide you a complete line.

With a maximum ingredient dispensing capacity of 200kgs per hour from its 30-litre hopper, the RIF 1500 utilises a Lamella pumping system to ensure that it can easily handle a wide variety of products including chocolate, toffee, sweets, candy, fruit and jams. Furthermore, each is supplied with two feed augers which are machined to different pitches to ideally suit the size of the supplementary ingredient being added and guarantee a steady, controlled feed.

The RIF 1500 ice cream ingredient feeder is fully adjustable with three internal variable speed motors that independently control the auger, pump and blender, allowing manufacturers to easily and accurately manage the process from beginning to end.

Each ice cream ingredient feeder is constructed on a 100% stainless steel over-sized chassis to reduce vibrations and noise pollution and guarantee long-lasting reliability. The inner working parts are a unique blend of stainless and special alloys.

Why Choose a RIF 1500 Ice Cream Ingredient Feeder?

Well engineered and reliable: The internal mechanics, quality components and premier materials used in the construction of the RIF 1500 seamlessly combine to produce a machine that can be depended on day-in, day-out.
