Technology & features
What the Labo 8-12 XPL P does for you
17 features in 6 groups. The tabs change by themselves until you choose one.
Hard-O-Tronic®
The LCD shows programmed and actual gelato consistency throughout the batch; arrow buttons let the operator adjust it at any time.
POM Beater
The beater has no central shaft and removable POM blades that resist the cold, allowing total extraction and complete cleaning.
Post Cooling
Injects cold into the gelato as it leaves the cylinder, keeping consistency stable during extraction.
Controls accessible with hopper lid open
All command buttons remain usable with the hopper lid open, so production can start while ingredients are being added.
Five variable freezing programs
Dedicated programs vary the cold applied: more for milk-based gelato body, less for delicate fruit sorbets, plus a customisable fruit slush program.
Gelato Crystal and Fruit Crystal programs
Two programs make milk- or fruit-based Crystal, a semi-dense gelato that is easy to shape into desserts before blast freezing.
Delayed cleaning program
Controls cylinder temperature after extraction, so washing does not have to happen immediately during extended breaks in production.
Versatile shelf
The shelf can be fitted at two heights and in three positions to suit different containers.
Front drip tray
The drip tray sits at the front, so it is easy to clean even when the machine is installed in a confined space.
Scotch-Brite treatment
The sheet metal has a Scotch-Brite treatment that makes cleaning quick.
Removable extraction chute
The extraction chute can be taken off to fully remove leftover gelato.
Ergonomic design
Corners are more rounded in the areas where the operator works, lowering the risk of knocks and injuries.
QR Code equipment information
A QR Code on the front of the machine links to the latest instruction manual and Carpi Care and Carpi Clean kit details.
Optional
Teorema
Online monitoring and diagnosis support faster assistance and help maintain production continuity.
Optional
Shelf Mat
