Gelato machines

Carpigiani, the world leader in gelato equipment: choose by how you make and serve your gelato.

Display and sell

The sales area matters as much as the workshop. Well-lit cabinets at the right temperature sell gelato on sight.

Gelato ingredients

Rubicone (Italy) ingredients for artisan gelato: ISO 9001 certified quality, Halal and Kosher certified.

All Rubicone ingredients →

Signature Rubicone flavours

Customer favourites to put on your counter from day one.

Packaging and consumables

Custom printed with your design, with no print plate charge.

Business options: how will you make your gelato?

The right equipment depends on your activity, forecast volume and production method. We have designed 6 specially priced start-up packages, and we build customised solutions for every site.

Classic ageing method

For medium-to-high volumes and long shelf life: the hot process with a pasteuriser and batch freezer, for a comfortable work rhythm and high quality.

Twin method

For lots of fresh flavours in small quantities, ready to serve: a twin machine that makes mix and gelato.

Blast freezing

A blast freezer preserves texture and flavour and allows longer storage without damaging the product structure.

Display

Horizontal or vertical cabinets, well lit and strategically positioned, to turn your gelato into sales.

Technology other brands don't offer

The brands we represent engineer their own control systems and refrigeration, giving you features, functionality and efficiency you won't get from everyday equipment. Features vary by model, so ask us which machines include them.

01Exclusive to Carpigiani

Hard-O-Tronic®

Detects when gelato reaches the ideal texture and holds it there until the batch is extracted, so every batch is consistent.

02Exclusive to Carpigiani

Teorema remote diagnosis

Monitor the machine over the internet. Our technicians can see what the machine sees, for faster service and less downtime.

03Exclusive to Carpigiani

Crystal program

Semi-dense Crystal gelato for gelato cakes and take-away tubs, filled straight from the batch freezer with the Crystal dispensing door.

04

Self-pasteurisation

Soft serve machines that pasteurise their own mix, so full wash-downs can be spaced out to as long as 42 days.

05

Black-out protection

After a power or water outage the machine checks time and temperature, then resumes or re-pasteurises to keep the mix safe.

06

Scheduled start

Production, pasteurisation and storage programs run automatically, for example overnight, so you open ready to serve.

07

Direct expansion cylinders

Optimised refrigeration for quicker freeze-down, less product waste, higher quality and lower energy use.

08

Techfrost blast freezing

Gelato hardening from −10 °C to −18 °C in 15 minutes, and blast chilling from +90 °C to +3 °C in 90 minutes.

What is gelato?

Gelato, ice cream, sorbet and frozen yoghurt: the difference

Gelato has less fat and less air than ice cream and is served a few degrees warmer, so it tastes denser and the flavour comes through faster. Sorbet is the dairy-free version. Frozen yoghurt is served soft, straight from the machine.

Carpigiani entry gelato batch freezer
  • Output: Up to 20 kg per hour
  • Power: 230 V single phase on the smaller models

Start with one batch freezer that plugs into standard single-phase power. You make your own gelato from day one and can add a pasteuriser, blast freezer and cabinet as the shop grows.

Add next: a Techfrost blast freezer and a display cabinet.

Carpigiani gelato machines in 60 seconds

A plain summary for owners, managers and investors weighing up a gelato business.

What it is

Carpigiani is the Italian maker of artisan gelato machines. Majors Group supplies, installs and services the range in New Zealand.

The four machine types

A batch freezer makes the gelato. A pasteuriser heats and cools the mix. A blast freezer hardens finished product fast. A combined machine does pasteurising and freezing in one footprint.

How big

Output runs from 8 kg per hour for a kiosk to 120 kg per hour for a production kitchen, so a business can start small and move up a size.

Site needs

Entry machines run on single-phase 230 V power. Mid-size and professional machines need three-phase 400 V. We check power, water and floor space before you buy.

Support

See the machines at our Auckland showroom, with hands-on training and Carpigiani Gelato University courses, plus a national service team and genuine parts.

Funding

Rent-to-buy, lease and equipment finance are available. See finance options. We quote the whole set-up, not just one machine.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Most gelaterias start with a batch freezer and a display cabinet. A pasteuriser lets you make your own mix, and a blast freezer improves texture and storage life.

A batch freezer makes fresh batches of dense gelato in unlimited flavours. A soft serve machine dispenses continuously to order for speed.

Cost depends heavily on configuration, output and features — a compact countertop batch freezer sits at a very different price point to a high-volume combined or continuous machine. Pricing is POA; for an accurate figure matched to your venue, request a quote or call a Majors Group New Zealand specialist on 0508 625 677.

The machine freezes a liquid mix rapidly while continuously churning and scraping the cylinder, which keeps ice crystals tiny and produces gelato’s signature smooth, dense texture. To see which configuration suits your output and flavour range, contact your nearest Majors Group New Zealand team.

It comes down to your daily litres, number of flavours and peak-hour demand — over-buying ties up capital while under-buying limits your trade. Our specialists will size the machine to your real-world volume; call 0508 625 677 or request a quote.

A pasteuriser lets you make your base from scratch with better food safety, flavour and shelf life, and combined machines can do both jobs in one footprint where space is tight. Ask a Majors Group New Zealand specialist which setup fits your kitchen and menu.
