Description
The 6236-C is a high-volume single flavor countertop, gravity-fed soft serve machine designed to outperform any competitor’s single flavor countertop model in initial freeze time, recovery time, and servings per hour. Ideal for high-volume operations with servings up to 12oz, the 6236-C is capable of producing a variety of soft serve products including ice cream, frozen yogurt, custards, and sorbets. An easy-to-use digital user interface and control system maintains excellent product consistency, hopper temperature, and high-performance parameters. Hopper refrigeration and sleep/standby features keep product fresh and are approved for both dairy and non-dairy products, while hopper agitators stir product throughout the day, saving operator time and ensuring consistent dairy-safe cooling. With patented freezing technology on the 3.4qt cylinders, the 6236-C achieves super-fast recovery times and can produce over 350 4oz servings per hour, making it one of the most efficient countertop machines available.
The 6236-C incorporates Spaceman’s patented 100% Controlled Contact Flooded Evaporator, designed for maximum efficiency and delivering the industry’s fastest freeze-down and recovery times with smaller ice crystals and the smoothest, creamiest mouthfeel. Continuous improvements in design, driven by field feedback and R&D, enhance operational efficiency, structural integrity, and serviceability. The advanced V5 single-piece auger ensures full evaporator wall contact, eliminates unnecessary parts, reduces cleaning time, and enhances consistency with the smallest ice crystals in the industry. Smart safety controls and independent standby modes maintain hopper and cylinder temperatures below 4.4ºC (40ºF), optimizing energy efficiency and product quality during non-use. The dual-system gravity-fed air inlet works in tandem with the V5 auger to deliver the most consistent overrun, ensuring long-term texture and superior product quality. The increased 5-gallon hopper capacity allows for larger batch mixing and reduced refill time, improving both efficiency and ease of operation. Finally, inverter motor control enables the use of three-phase motors with single-phase power input, reducing torque and strain by controlling start-up speed—dramatically minimizing gearbox and drivetrain failures caused by operational errors or freeze-ups.
