2.4 Special warnings
2.5 Ambient operating limits
2.6 Residual risks
The Frigus maker is used for combining ice-
cream mixture with sanitary air in fixed
quantities and, subsequently, for forming the
ice-cream with the addition of cold generated
by a refrigeration cycle.
The mixture of ice-cream and sanitary air is
blended inside a manifold by means of the
pressure of a rotating pump and the injection of
compressed air which is then pushed to the
cylindrical evaporator of a refrigerating system
for the treatment of ice-cream.
Several issues arise when adapting the pre-
printer to suit the needs of man: more precisely,
centralizing the controls on a single instrument
panel for the functions of adjustment and control.
The top lid of the freezing cylinder is interfaced
with a safety microswitch. The machine will stop
if the lid is removed.
All the transmission parts, the kinematic motions
and the refrigerating system are protected by
fixed boards.
Dismantling side panels (anchored in place with
screws) permits contact with moving parts.
This residual risk is referred to in section 3.5
Prohibition and hazard signs and with a sign
indicating moving parts positioned on the
panels.
A signal of danger is placed on the flap of the
electric box to indicate live equipment.
For additional safety, the remaining risk is
recalled in paragraph 3.5 Instructions on ban
and danger signals.

3.1 Description of the machine
The machine mixes sanitised air into ice cream
mix to obtain the desired overrun, cools and agi-
tate the mix with air incorporated in it to create
the viscous product known as ice cream, and
supplies sufficient pressure to convey the ice
cream to its destination through a pipe.
In order to carry out these functions the machine
incorporates the following components:
-aset of filters which sanitise air coming from
the compressed air supply.
-apump which receives mix from ageing vats,
and sends the product to the freezing cylinder.
-freezing cylinder with a dasher and blades,
inside which air is uniformly blended into
the mix and the product is cooled until it takes
on a thick consistency.
-arefrigerating plant connected to the outside
wall of the freezing cylinder to cool it down.
The shop’s compressed air (the machine does
not have an air compressor of its own) passes
through a pressure reducer (1) and a mesh filter
(2) to separate out any large particles; these are
followed by a microfilter for oil vapours (3) and
an active carbon filter (4) to eliminate odours.
Finally, the clean air goes through a (sterilisable)
Teflon (5) membrane filter with microscopic
pores specifically intended to stop the passage
of bacteria.
The sanitised air thus obtained is let in between
the first and second stage of the mixing pump at
a rate of flow which may be controlled by the
operator using the control panel; changes in the
rate of flow permit variation of ice cream volu-
me.
3.1.1 Filter set (3.2)
-an electrical system for command and control
of all machine functions.
All these items of equipment are assembled on a
strong, compact stainless steel frame.

It is a two-stage pump constructed with two
pistons of different sizes; the first (1) receives
and batches a quantity of mix determined by the
operator on the basis of the desired hourly
production; the second stage (2) receives mix
dispensed by the first stage and sanitised air let
in between the two stages and puts it all into the
freezer cylinder.
As the difference in volume between the first
and the second stage (a result of the size of the
pistons) does not change under different pump
pressure and speed conditions, the quantity of
air let in per mixing unit is also constant and
depends on the rate of flow of the air. By
adjusting the flow of sanitised air, the operator
therefore controls the increase in volume, which
remains constant throughout the production
cycle.
The pump is driven by an electric motor
commanded by an inverter (for speed changes)
3.1.2 Mix pump
This is the most important part of the machine:
an upright pipe with a chrome coating on its
inside walls, surrounded by a jacket in which
coolant fluid flows to cool down the cylinder. A
dasher (1) with three blades rotates inside it,
scraping the chrome-plated inside surface to
ensure that frozen ice cream does not build up
on the walls. The top (2) and bottom (3) ends of
the cylinder are closed by two covers, which in-
corporate the mix feed pipe (bottom) (3) and the
ice cream exit valve (top) (2).
Mix blended with sanitary air coming from the
pump flows into the bottom part of the cylinder
(3); on its way to the top it is whisked by the
dasher (1) and cooled by contact with the walls
of the cylinder, kept cold by the refrigerating
plant. The ice cream forms and then flows out
of the ice cream outlet valve (2), which is
controlled pneumatically to regulate the pressure
of ice cream in the cylinder.
In order to make sure the machine operates
correctly, it is important to be very careful not to
damage the cylinder, always making sure that
3.1.3 Freezing cylinder
the scraper blades are in perfect condition and

and incorporates a pneumatically driven by pass
(optional) for CIP washing. It works properly at
relatively high pressures, so that no extraction
pump is needed coming off the machine.

Composed of the freezing cylinder (evaporator),
a Scroll Compliant rotary compressor, a high
efficiency condenser, an economiser, a
thermostatic valve and a number of minor
accessories. All these components are designed
specifically for operation at low temperatures
using R404A coolant gas.
Cooling is carried out by steam compression: the
compressor pumps gas into the condenser, where
it is cooled and liquefied, and the liquid gas then
passes through the thermostatic valve and is
vaporized in the freezer cylinder (transforming
into gaseous state once more) before returning
to the compressor and starting the cycle again.
Vaporization of gas in the freezing cylinder
removes heat from the ice cream mix, which
3.1.4 Refrigerating plant
The electrical system consists of the operator
panel and the electrical panel which covers all
of the rear of the machine. The operator panel
may be used to activate or deactivate all machine
functions, adjust functions and indicate
anomalies. The electrical box at the rear contains
the main switch and all control and power
devices.
3.1.5 Electrical system
cools down; the heat is then disposed of in the
condenser, where it is transferred to the water
coming from the cooling tower (or well), heating
it.
A pressure switch valve assembled on the
condenser water circuit keeps condensation
pressure constant, independently of water tem-
perature.
The system mounted on the Frigus 600 is a
particularly efficient one which makes use of a
dependable, low maintenance Scroll compressor
which acts as a two-stage compressor with an
economiser to obtain considerable cooling
capacity and improved dependability.

The machine is fully tested and regulated in the
factory with about one hour of ice cream
production prior to shipment to the customer.
Installation simply involves connecting up the
pipes for the condenser cooling water supply, ice
cream mix intake and outlet, compressed air
supply and electric power supply. There is no
need for internal adjustments to the machine; we
recommend that factory settings not be changed.
Proceed with the installation procedure as
follows:
a. Position the machine in its operating position
and check the plate data to make sure that
the machine is compatible with the site’s
electrical power supply, and compressed air
supply.
b. Level the machine with a spirit level by
means of the adjustable feet.
The plates provided may be applied
underneath the feet.
c. Connect up the condenser cooling water
pipes (1) (2). If tower water (+28°C) is used
for cooling, use inlet (7) and shut off inlet
(2).
d. Connect up the ice cream mix intake (3) and
outlet (4) pipes to the production line.
e. Connect up the compressed air pipe (5).
f. Connect the machine to the ground and to
the electrical power supply (6).

4.2.1 Cooling water connection (tower water)
Connect up the supply of condenser cooling
water, taking care to get the direction of water
flow correct: water must flow in through the
connection at the bottom (1) and out through the
connection at the top (2). It is recommended that
two on/off taps (3) (4) be installed close to the
machine, as well as a small drain tap (5) close to
the bottom connection; it is also a good idea to
connect up these two taps with the machine
through two pipe unions (three-piece connectors)
to make it easy to separate the freezer from the
installation.
The machine is fitted with a pressure valve which
controls the flow of water in inverse proportion
to its temperature to obtain constant cooling
(constant condensation pressure on the coolant
side); this makes it possible to use water supplies
with widely varying temperatures for cooling the
condenser. The water flow varies as a result, from
about 600 litres/hour at 5ºC to 3600 litres/hour
at 28ºC (average values for machine in operation
at maximum production rate).
Pipe diameter depends on pipe length and the
pumps available, and must never be less than
the diameter of the connections, which is 1” gas.
It is essential to wash out the pipes BEFORE
connecting them to the machine by flushing them
with water to eliminate any particles or dirt. If
the water that flows out of the pipes continues
to be dirty, it will be necessary to install a filter
with a filtering capacity and size appropriate to
the type and amount of dirt conveyed at the intake
(1) (the bottom connection). In any case, it is
recommended that you install the filter to redu-
ce soiling of the condenser.

4.2.2 Ice cream intake and outlet connection
Connect the mix supply pipe to the mix pump
inlet connection (6) on the front of the machine.
The machine has a CIP washing programme
permitting thorough, safe washing of the machine
without dismantling its parts; it will therefore be
necessary to prepare the required connections
between the CIP washing pump and solutions and
the mix pipe.
Make sure that the mix flows “spontaneously”
to the machine connection (6), and does not need
to be suctioned by the freezer pump; this may be
done by simply positioning the aging vats higher
than the freezer (check that the spontaneously
flowing supply is sufficient even when the mix
level in the containers is low), or by installing a
suitable centrifugal pump close to the vats. Take
care to ensure that there is no air getting into the
pipes, which could pollute the product and result
in fluctuation of ice cream overrun.
CAUTION:
Pipes must be dismantled and washed
thoroughly after completing this procedure
to ensure that no hard solid particles are
conveyed toward the freezer mix pump. This
is very important as solid particles such as
metal burr or welding residues could severely
damage the freezer pump and will invalidate
the guarantee.
Connect up the ice cream outlet (7) to the utility.
Use the shortest possible pipe, with as few
curves as possible, and use a pipe which is shiny
inside; the pipe does not need to be insulated.
Make sure that ice cream pressure in the
cylinders does not exceed 12 bar (the absolute
maximum permitted value); if this should occur,
move the freezer closer to the ice cream utility
and/or use hot gas to produce softer ice cream.
Connect the compressed air supply pipe to the
connection on the rear of the machine; it is
recommended that an easily removable tap and
connection be assembled close to the machine
connection.
The supply pressure measured on the machine
4.2.3 Compressed air connection
must never drop below 6 bar. It is strongly
recommended that the compressed air supply
in the place of installation be fitted with an air
drying system and A0 filters to remove oil
vapours and residual fine particles.
CAUTION:
Electrical connection must be made
exclusively by competent technicians who are
familiar with safety legislation and authorised
to perform and certify electrical installations.
Check the identification plate to make sure that
the machine is compatible with the site’s power
supply. Connect the machine’s power supply to
the site’s distribution panel and protect it with a
4.2.4 Electrical connection
suitable device, complying with all regulations
for correct electrical installation in effect in the
place of installation.
We recommend installing an automatic circuit
breaker on the distribution panel, complying
with local regulations.
