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.
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.
Hard-O-Tronic®
Detects when gelato reaches the ideal texture and holds it there until the batch is extracted, so every batch is consistent.
Teorema remote diagnosis
Monitor the machine over the internet. Our technicians can see what the machine sees, for faster service and less downtime.
Crystal program
Semi-dense Crystal gelato for gelato cakes and take-away tubs, filled straight from the batch freezer with the Crystal dispensing door.
Self-pasteurisation
Soft serve machines that pasteurise their own mix, so full wash-downs can be spaced out to as long as 42 days.
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.
Scheduled start
Production, pasteurisation and storage programs run automatically, for example overnight, so you open ready to serve.
Direct expansion cylinders
Optimised refrigeration for quicker freeze-down, less product waste, higher quality and lower energy use.
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.

Frequently asked questions
What equipment do I need to make gelato?
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.
What is the difference between a batch freezer and a soft serve machine?
A batch freezer makes fresh batches of dense gelato in unlimited flavours. A soft serve machine dispenses continuously to order for speed.
Do you have start-up packages?
Yes. We have designed 6 specially priced start-up packages and can customise one for your site. Call 0508 625 677.
Can I finance gelato equipment?
Yes. Equipment finance up to 100% is available. See finance options.
Do you offer training?
Yes. Hands-on training for your team and Carpigiani Gelato University courses. See our training school.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a commercial gelato machine cost in New Zealand?
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.
How does a commercial gelato machine work?
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.
What size gelato machine do I need for my café or gelateria?
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.
Do I need a pasteuriser as well as a batch freezer?
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.
Do you deliver, install and service gelato machines nationwide?
Yes — Majors Group New Zealand delivers, installs and services equipment across New Zealand, including Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, Hamilton, Tauranga and Dunedin, backed by genuine spare parts and qualified technicians. Reach our service team or call 0508 625 677.
Which gelato machine brand do you supply?
