Application Scenarios of Ice Cream Production Line

Jun 11, 2025

The application scenarios of ice cream production line equipment cover large-scale industrial production, food service chains, innovative product development, and more. Below is a detailed overview of the types of ice cream and the corresponding production processes and equipment:

1. Types of Ice Cream
Ice cream can be categorized into multiple types based on production techniques, ingredients, and forms: 
● Soft-Serve Ice Cream: Made with lower fat content and higher air incorporation (overrun), typically served directly from a continuous freezer. Common in fast-food chains and kiosks. 
● Hard Ice Cream: Higher fat content, slower freezing process, and denser texture. Often used in packaged retail products. 
● Sorbet: Dairy-free, fruit-based frozen dessert with a smooth texture, requiring specialized mixing and freezing equipment.

2. Core Production Line Components
Modern ice cream production lines integrate automated equipment to achieve efficiency and consistency: 
Pasteurizer: Ensures microbial safety by heating mixtures to 83–85°C for 15 seconds. 
Homogenizer: Breaks down fat globules for smoother texture (e.g., high-pressure homogenizers). 
Continuous Freezer: Churns and aerates the mixture to create overrun (volume expansion up to 100%). 
Filling Machine: Deposits ice cream into cups, cones, or molds; supports multi-flavor layering.
Quick-Freezing Tunnel: Rapidly hardens products at -40°C to preserve structure.

3. Application Scenarios
1Large-Scale Industrial Production 
Key Users: Dairy factories, frozen dessert manufacturers. 
Features: 
■Fully automated lines (e.g., mixing → aging → freezing → packaging) for outputs of 2,000–10,000 cups/hour. 
■Compatibility with diverse formats: cups, cones, bars, and novelty shapes.
