TWIST range – cutting-edge technological features
Gamma TWIST includes models with different capacities – 35, 45, 60, 75 and 100 kg – offering solutions for production labs of various sizes. Among the outstanding technical features are:
• Automatic freezing cycles: Adaptable to the type and quantity of the mixture, ensuring the rapid achievement of the optimal consistency.
• “PLUS” freezing function: For a higher level of consistency, ideal for recipes that require extra density.
• Semi-automatic programs with advanced control: Allows precise adjustment of consistency and processing time.
• “TURBO” mixing system: Optimizes the final volume of the product through a controlled "overrun".
• Customizable recipe menu: Operators can choose from predefined recipes or create their own formulas.
• Automatic consistency maintenance: At the end of the cycle, for a stable and uniform product.
• Direct expansion cooling cylinder and steel mixer with movable scrapers, for efficient processing.
• Fast extraction, with the “cold extraction” option: Allows you to obtain a perfect consistency depending on the recipe used.
• An Automatic Washing System for Maximum Hygiene
Automatic washing system
One of the major innovations of the TWIST series is the automatic washing system, which eliminates the need for manual cleaning and ensures complete sanitization through predefined cycles:
• Standard rinse: With water at mains temperature.
• Special fruit rinse: Adapted for the elimination of organic waste.
• Rinse for seeded fruits: A special cycle that effectively removes seeds.
• Semi-intensive wash (40°C): Ideal for routine cleaning.
• Intensive wash (60°C): Recommended for removing grease and allergens.
• Disinfection (60°C + detergent and disinfectant solution): Ensures high food safety standards.
This entire process is facilitated by the integrated water heating system and automatic dosing of detergent and disinfectant, thus reducing human intervention and optimizing cleaning times.
Intuitive control panel and advanced functionalities
Each TWIST model is equipped with a 7” touch-screen control panel, with Frigomat's proprietary, easy-to-use graphical interface. Operators can quickly access the history of activities, alarms and washes performed, thus having full control over the production process.
Technical Data and Available Variants
The TWIST series includes several models, adapted to the specific needs of producers:
• TWIST 35: Production capacity of 35 kg, weight 310 kg, consumption of 3.6-3.7 kW.
• TWIST 45: Capacity 45 kg, weight 340 kg, consumption 5.0 kW.
