BDM- 500LPB Ice Cream Ageing Vat

A 500 Liter Per Batch (LPB) ice cream ageing vat is a specialized vertical storage tank designed for the dairy industry to cool and store ice cream mix at a controlled temperature of around  for 4–24 hours. This maturation process allows proteins to hydrate and fats to crystallize, which improves the texture, flavor, and overrun of the final ice cream product

Key Features of 500 LPB Ageing Vats Capacity: 

500 liters of storage, ideal for medium to large-scale,batch production.Material: Constructed from high-grade stainless steel (SS304 or SS316) for hygienic and food-safe operations.Insulation: Features high-density Polyurethane Foam (PUF) insulation to maintain low temperatures and reduce energy consumption.Agitation/Stirring: Equipped with a vertical or anchor-type agitator with a geared motor to ensure slow, constant agitation for uniform cooling.Cooling System: Often utilizes a jacketed design (single or double jacket) with chilled water or glycol circulation.

Functional Descriptions Mix Maturation: 

The primary function is to rest the mixed ingredients, improving consistency and flavor development.Improved Quality: Aids in increasing the viscosity and creaminess of the mix, which leads to better melting resistance and smoother texture.Hygienic Design: Designed to be easily cleaned, sometimes including CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems.Automation: Available in both semi-automatic and fully automatic configurations with 3-phase power, offering automated cooling and mixing cycles.Design Variations: Available as single vat or double vat systems for continuous, uninterrupted processing.
