The GIF 2000/4000 range of ice cream freezers from Gram Equipment offers a number of features. The units are extremely compact, the wet/cold and dry components are kept completely separate for superior hygiene, and the freezers work with a very small ammonia charge, due to the cyclone in the refrigeration system. They can also operate with sub-cooled liquids. The space-saving compact design means a 33% reduction in footprint compared with previous models. The extremely small ammonia charge benefits the ice cream manufacturer's environmental profile, which receives a further boost from the lower energy consumption needed for any given production volume. The GIF 2000 and 4000 ice cream freezers are equipped with a PLC control system that features a color touch screen with a wide range of programmable pre-set configurations that provide information about maintenance, alarm lists, system status, service requirements and spare part lists. Programmable settings ensure the most efficient operations possible,
as well as making it easier for a manufacturer to adjust production to meet changing requirements, with a minimum of delay or waste of product.
