  • Ice cream machines for gelato, ice, sorbet and yoghurt are self-contained machines refrigerated by cooling systems. These machines produce ice cream for consumption on streets or in cafés, restaurants and small food shops. They typically operate in small spaces in view of the customers. They must deliver a long reliable life while being compact and clean with operation at low sound levels.

Although the drive was enclosed inside a cover, black belt dust contamination was still an issue the customer wanted to resolve and eliminate from the system.
