Catalogue
The system can either be pump-fed or gravity-fed, with overrun adjustment even with a full hopper. Both the gravity and pump versions have a 13-litre hopper capacity. Thanks to three different functions, it is possible to choose the side on which you want to operate. Left side only or right side only in low season, both in the case of higher productivity.

It is equipped with the Star Door, specifically for use with the nozzles of the single-portion kit and the new nozzles, with which to customise the style and shape of soft gelato. The machine is air-cooled (water cooling optionally available).
It is possible to choose whether to equip the machine with the automatic self-pasteurisation system, which allows scheduling the next machine washing at a maximum interval of 42 days.
Technology & features
What the XVL 3 Steel does for you
36 features in 5 groups. The tabs change by themselves until you choose one.
Hard-O-Tronic® (H-O-T)
Electronic control lets operators change the consistency of soft serve, sorbet or frozen yoghurt simply and quickly.
Submerged pump feed (Version P)
A pressurised steel pump with thermoplastic polymer gears and a holed regulator gives 40% to 80% overrun for dry, compact soft serve.
2E-RSI High Efficiency Beater
Stainless steel beater with plastic scrapers and a removable shaft, suited to soft and creamy product.
High Efficiency POM Beater
A one-piece beater in food-grade plastic, fitted as standard on gravity versions.
Adjustable dispensing speed
The dispensing flow can be adjusted to suit different volumes and serving speeds.
Independent pump transmission
On pump versions, a separate transmission prolongs pump and gear life while keeping performance flexible.
High-performance gearmotors and condensers
New electric gearmotors and condensers deliver higher performance and savings.
Air or water cooling
Water cooling uses a rear inlet/outlet circuit; air cooling with a rear chimney saves installation space and allows side-by-side placement.
Removable pump shaft
The pump shaft comes out easily, simplifying cleaning and supporting hygiene and reliability.
Black-out and water outage protection
After an outage the machine checks time and temperature: if the mix is safe it resumes; otherwise it starts pasteurisation (self-pasteurising models) or requires washing, with an on-screen message.
Multifunctional Cleaning Button
Pump and beater can be switched on individually or together for cleaning; a hot cleaning mode runs the beater while heating the cylinder to dissolve grease quickly.
Independent cylinders
On XVL 3 the independent cylinders allow products of different consistencies to be made at the same time.
Gravity feed (Version G)
Feed tube holes of different sizes naturally aerate the mix; an overrun adjuster changes it even with a full tank.
1.75 L direct expansion cylinder
Optimised refrigeration shortens freezing times and saves energy; a relocated feed hole makes pre-loading simple and safe.
Star Door
The Star Door allows the new nozzles and the single-portion kit to be used.
Self Closing levers
Levers close automatically to stop product flow and avoid waste; they are easy to assemble and remove.
Pinless aluminium levers
Levers can be taken off and refitted quickly without tools when the machine is unattended, suiting rotating staff.
Tank agitator
An agitator in the tank stops the mix separating in storage and improves heat transfer during pasteurisation.
Minimum mixture residue
A recess at the rear of the tank means very little mix is wasted during cleaning.
Button lock
The control buttons can be locked to stop unintended inputs.
Scheduled start
Production, pasteurisation and storage programs can be timed to run automatically, for example overnight, so the machine is ready the next day.
Ergonomic transparent lid
An ergonomic see-through lid makes checking the tank easy.
Ergonomic rounded corners
Corners in the operator’s working area are more rounded to lower the chance of knocks and injuries during daily use.
QR code information access
A QR code on the machine front links to the latest equipment information, including the instruction manual and Carpi Care and Carpi Clean kit details.
Optional
Winter Door
A door made of two separate halves lets you operate one or both cylinders, or clean one side while the other works; twist is disabled.
Optional
Versatile machine
With the Winter Door, XVL 3 can operate left only, right only in quiet periods, or both sides at peak times.
Optional
Pump / Gravity kit
For XVL 3 P models with the POM beater, this kit lets one cylinder run on pump feed and the other on gravity.
Optional
Blender
A built-in blender uses disposable spoons to mix toppings or syrups into soft serve cups conveniently and hygienically.
Optional
Nozzles
Choose new, distinctive nozzles to style the soft serve.
Optional
Monoportion kit
A nozzle kit for filling small cups, cannoli and other single-portion frozen desserts.
Optional
Self-pasteurisation
Automatic self-pasteurisation lets you choose when to wash, up to every 42 days; the machine blocks itself if cleaning is overdue. Optional on XVL 3.
Optional
Dry Filling system
Automatically adds water so powdered mixes are prepared in the tank, saving time and space and reducing dosing errors.
Optional
Teorema
Carpigiani’s remote control and diagnosis system lets owners and technicians monitor the machine over the internet, supporting faster service and continuity of production.
Optional
Wash kit
An optional water tap mounted above the tank makes cleaning easier.
Optional
Carpi Care kit & Carpi Clean kit
Dedicated kits of replacement gaskets and cleaning brushes, ordered through your dealer, to keep the machine in hygienically perfect condition.
Optional extras can be added to your order or, for most items, fitted later. All Carpigiani options and accessories →
