121 GEL-MATIC ITALIA FOOD-AND-DRINK • PASTRY • GELATO Gel-Matic’s BiB 500V PM express gelato machine in- creases the guarantee of cleanliness and simplify the cleaning process. As an alternative to the traditional models of machines fitted with conservation hoppers, the new BiB series represents an innovative solution that guarantees high hygienic standards thanks to the use of bag-in-box technology, a widespread system for con- serving liquid food. The application makes it possible to eliminate the risk of a mixture becoming contaminated, since the hopper is replaced by a re- frigeration cell where the bag-in-box container is lodged, and the liquid product is sucked from this directly into the freezing cylinder by means of a pressurizing gear pump. When the mix is over, all the operator has to do is replace the container. The BiB 500V PM is fitted with two beater motors, one per flavour, which make it possible to manage production with max- imum flexibility. The production capacity is 33 kg/h. The series includes single-flavour and twist-flavour machines, both counter and vertical options, with a 1.7-litre cylin- der or a larger 3.5-litre one, in an electromechanical version or else fitted with the In.Co.Di.S. system with touch- screen technology. Customers can choose between models with air or water cooling systems, and different voltages are available, in addition to personalised graphics. HYGIENE UNDER CONTROL
