With the UK gelato consumption growing faster than ever, you no longer need to jump on a plane to Italy to sample the finest sweet treats. Carpigiani, the world’s leading gelato and ice cream equipment manufacturer is supporting this growing sector across the UK with an expansive portfolio of equipment – the latest of which being the brand new Ready 14 20.
The second model in the recently announced Carpigiani ‘Restaurant Range’ the Ready 14 20 delivers the entire gelato production process in one, space saving, countertop appliance. Capable of pasteurising, aging and freezing in one, the Ready 14 20 builds on the success of the existing, floor standing Carpigiani Ready, to offer a highly efficient, compact gelato maker, capable of producing between 14kg – 20kg of finished product per hour.
Innovative ‘Ready’ technology
Initially launched at Sigep 2019, the Ready 14 20 is now available for the first time in the UK. Featuring innovative ‘Ready’ technology, operators can complete the entire production process in one machine. With nine pre-set programmes, including six for gelato and sorbet, one for fruit slush, two for special milk or fruit-based mixes and three dedicated to pasteurisation using the heat-cool cycles, the Ready 14 20 is intuitive, simple to use and archives exceptional results.
Complete with innovative Hard-O-Tronic® technology and the latest POM blades, the Ready 14 20 instinctively senses the consistency of the gelato to ensure the optimal result every time. Self-regulating scraper blades help to constantly clean the cylinder and maximise yield, whilst a clever post cooling system helps to maintain consistency during the extraction process.
Taking much of the technology found in the larger, floor standing ‘Ready’, the new countertop Carpigiani Ready 14 20 features a design optimised for compact professional kitchens and those lacking in available space. Complete with a single-phase supply, the new appliance is not only simple to use, but is quick to setup and to operate.
Fast cleaning, improved hygiene
An optional spray gun with spiral hose and the inclusion of a delayed cleaning cycle which controls the temperature in the cylinder once the gelato has been extracted makes for a fast cleaning and improved hygiene standards.
“The new Carpigiani Ready 14 20 represents one of the larger capacity machines in our recently launched ‘Restaurant Range’ yet features a relatively compact design and small footprint,” says Scott Duncan, Sales Director at Carpigiani UK. “This makes it ideal for those chefs looking to produce vibrant, fresh, artisan gelato for their menu, but don’t have the available space for multiple units.
“With it’s innovative hot and cold technology in one, the Ready 14 20, allows the operator to effortlessly pasteurise, age, churn and freeze a mix in one space-efficient appliance. With the pre-set programmes, it’s incredibly simple to create delicious gelato, sorbet, slush, patisserie, sauces and toppings in one,” says Duncan.
As an optional extra, the new Ready 14 20 can be fitted with Carpigiani’s Teorema technology. Designed to remotely monitor use and diagnose faults via the internet, operators can be confident and have the added peace-of-mind that their Carpigiani equipment is fully working when it is needed most.
