STB-Ice Cream Semi-Automatic Small Cup Processing | RFQ Sourcing Details

Product overview The STB-Ice Cream processing line is a customizable, semi-automatic system intended for small-cup ice cream production. It uses electric power and is specified for thermal processing.

The listed production capacity ranges from 1,000 to 10,000 L/h, with the final configuration and specification customizable for the project. Supported process information The described ice cream process begins with ingredient mixing at 50–60°C. Homogenization is shown at 50–60°C and 150–180 bar.

Two listed sterilization conditions are 77°C for 15 minutes or 85°C for 16–30 seconds. The sequence then includes cooling and aging at 0–6°C, followed by downstream routes for soft, base, or hard ice cream.

Depending on the selected route, the process can include filling, packing, freezing, cutting, chocolate topping, and cold-chain handling. The pasteurizer description lists a buffer tank, pump, plate heat exchanger, hot-water system, temperature-control system, and concentrated acid and caustic systems.

A separator, homogenizer, and flash-evaporation module are identified as optional. Fat standardization is also listed as an optional function during sterilization. Construction and controls Product- .

The system description includes back-pressure control designed to keep pressure on the sterilized-product side above the unsterilized side if plate damage occurs. A temperature-control and backflow system is included in the stated design. AB and Siemens PLC options are listed.

The supplied performance description states heat-exchange efficiency up to 90% and steam consumption of 30–40 kg per ton. These figures should be confirmed for the buyer’s actual recipe, throughput, inlet conditions, utility supply, and selected equipment configuration.

Procurement questions to confirm Before ordering, the buyer should define the required finished product, hourly capacity, cup format, filling and packing method, recipe characteristics, and desired automation level.

Confirm which tanks, homogenizers, separators, freezers, fillers, packing machines, cleaning equipment, and optional sterilization modules are included in the proposed scope. Request a project-specific process-flow diagram, equipment list, utility schedule, footprint, control architecture, and acceptance criteria.

Also confirm the applicable SS304 or SS316L construction areas, electrical requirements, steam and cooling demand, cleaning method, installation responsibilities, commissioning scope, spare-parts package, documentation, shipping arrangement, lead time, warranty, and after-sales support.

Verify the stated CE and ISO 9001 information and determine which certificates and technical records apply to the exact delivered configuration.
