Single-flavour machines keep it simple. Twin-flavour machines serve two flavours plus a twist from one unit.
Compare the hourly output in the table below with your busiest hour, and allow for growth.
Countertop models save space. The floor-standing BV Easy 2 GR frees up your counter and sits on swivel castors.
Giotto: INCODIS 3.0 touchscreen with video tutorials. Easy: ECOS controls with a photocell that recognises the cone or cup.
Spread the cost with equipment finance through our New Zealand finance partners, up to 100% of a new asset’s purchase price.
Gelmatic machines freeze to order: the mix goes into the cylinder as a liquid and comes out ready to serve, so every portion is fresh. One counter can carry a long dessert and drinks menu.
Plain cones where the mix does the talking, or dressed-up cones with dips, sauces and sprinkles. Giotto has four preset recipes, each with its own texture, temperature and overrun.
Sundaes, cups and blended desserts with fruit, sauces and crushed biscuits, built on the same soft serve base and finished at the counter.
Froyo is frozen to order in minutes and served plain or topped with fruit and cereal. The Easy range is built for froyo shops and self-serve bars, and runs açaí too.
Milkshakes, thick shakes, frozen cocktails and iced coffee, built on a soft serve base with syrups, fruit and toppings. Giotto DR 14 dispenses shakes and frozen cocktails direct from the machine.
Soft serve earns a strong margin from a small footprint, which is why Gelmatic machines turn up in very different businesses. These are the most common.
Quick service at peak times, two flavours and a twist from one machine, and frozen yoghurt on the same counter.
Add soft serve, shakes and dessert cups to a coffee and cake menu. The countertop Giotto 11 is just 300 mm wide.
A dessert made on the spot completes the meal. Pump-fed models hold a consistent texture through the lunch and dinner rush.
An ice cream for the road gives drivers and families a reason to come inside, and a countertop model fits beside the coffee machine.
Soft serve and shakes sit naturally beside popcorn at the candy bar, served in seconds between sessions.
Pool bars, kiosks and buffets, often run by seasonal staff. Touchscreen controls and preset recipes keep training short.
Staff canteens and catering kitchens get a dessert that is quick to make and serve, and adds value to every tray.
Turn your own milk into soft serve and frozen yoghurt at the farm gate, and sell a higher-value product to visitors.
Gel Matic was founded in 1972 by Giambattista Guerini, who assembled the first gelato machines. The business grew quickly and in 2001 Andrea Guerini, son of the founder, joined the company. Dynamism and flexibility are now the hallmarks of a family company focused on one thing: express blending and freezing.
The Giotto range runs on a 7-inch touchscreen for programs, texture and cleaning cycles.
Easy and Giotto models are available gravity-fed for simplicity or pump-fed for higher overrun and output.
Twin-cylinder models serve two flavours and a twist from one footprint – Giotto 21, BC Easy 2 and BV Easy 2.
Set-up, recipe and menu development, one-on-one monthly training and service from our Auckland and Christchurch teams with genuine parts.
Gelmatic groups its after-sales support into three programs. In New Zealand, Majors Group delivers them locally, from installation to service and training.
GTECH ECOS on the Easy range is a colour touchscreen with five capacitive keys. GTECH INCODIS 3.0 on Giotto is a 7-inch touchscreen that flags problems early, and Giotto’s GTECH HT cycle heat-treats the mix so it keeps longer.
Gelmatic’s GCARE program covers spare parts, warranty and remote diagnostics. In New Zealand, our Auckland and Christchurch technicians install and service every machine with genuine parts.
Gelmatic trains every member of its sales network on the machines. We pass that on: training at installation, then one-on-one monthly sessions on recipes and menus.

Start with what you will serve and how busy you get. Single-flavour countertop machines such as the Giotto 11 suit cafés and smaller sites; twin-flavour models such as the Giotto 21 or BC Easy 2 GR add a twist; the HC Easy 1 GR and floor-standing BV Easy 2 GR suit busier service. Call 0508 625 677 and we will match a machine to your menu and volume.
Giotto is the premium countertop range for express gelato and soft serve, with a 7-inch INCODIS 3.0 touchscreen, four preset recipes and GTECH HT heat treatment. The Easy range is gravity-fed, with ECOS controls and a photocell that recognises the cone or cup, in countertop and floor-standing models from 22 to 42 kg an hour. It is built for frozen yoghurt, soft serve and açaí.
Gravity feed is the simplest. A metering valve lets mix and air into the freezing cylinder, there are few parts to clean, and it handles mixes with small pieces of fruit. Pump feed uses a gear pump to hold a consistent texture and lets you set overrun above 100%, so you serve more portions from each litre of mix.
Yes. Giotto models run a GTECH HT heat-treatment cycle that raises the mix to 65 °C, holds it for 30 minutes and cools it back to 4 °C. The mix stays microbiologically safe for longer, so you clean less often.
Soft serve, frozen yoghurt, açaí and, with the Giotto DR 14, frozen cocktails and milkshakes of up to 66 litres an hour. See our frozen yoghurt, açaí and ingredients pages for mixes to pair with your machine.
Gelmatic machines run fresh, semi-finished and UHT mixes. We supply Rubicone soft serve, frozen yoghurt and açaí mixes and set the machine up for the mix you choose.
