Nemox Gelato Chef 5L Auto i-Green - Benchtop Gelato Machine, 4.5L/h

Nemox Gelato Chef 5L Auto i-Green - Benchtop Gelato Machine, 4.5L/h

The Nemox Gelato Chef 5L Automatic i-Green is a compact benchtop gelato machine that makes about 1.5 litres per batch in 20 to 25 minutes, or more than 4.5 litres an hour. It suits cafes, restaurants and dessert bars that want house-made gelato on a modest budget. Compared with the Chef 3L, it has a larger 2.5 litre bowl, a faster 65 rpm paddle and shorter batch times. The 4K Touch goes further with a touch screen and 12 to 15 minute batches.

Key features:

• Automatic cycle program: press a button and walk away
• Electronic Density Control stops the paddle once the gelato reaches the right consistency, then switches to storage mode
• Holds gelato in storage mode for up to 8 hours
• Removable 2.5 litre bowl that can go straight into the freezer
• Stainless steel body in a compact, portable size

Common questions:

Can I start a second batch while the first is still in the machine?
Yes. Take the removable bowl out with the finished gelato and begin the next batch in the fixed bowl right away.

Is there a manual mode?
Yes. Separate paddle and refrigeration switches let you run each one yourself, as well as the automatic function.

What refrigerant does it use?
It is an i-Green model, so it runs on R290, a natural refrigerant gas. Nemox rates R290 at a global warming potential of 3, compared with 3,922 for the traditional R404 gas.
