In-line molding built for complex products and consistent results

Molded ice cream is becoming more expressive. Consumers demand distinctive shapes, layered fillings, and clear differentiation, while producers are expected to deliver this variety with the same consistency. This puts pressure on molding to handle complexity without turning production into a bottleneck.

POLO in-line molding machines are designed around this shift. Controlled freezing and well-balanced brine circulation support uniform shape and surface quality, while flexible filling solutions enable multi-flavor and layered products. Reliable extraction and hygienic mould handling keep daily operation predictable, even as product designs evolve.

POLO Series allows you to respond to changing market expectations - developing more complex molded products while keeping production structured and efficient.

Key features

POLO 12 is an in-line molded stick machine designed for efficient, flexible, and hygienic production of ice cream novelties at medium to high capacity, up to 36.000 pcs/hr. Built on Gram Equipment’s 70+ years of molded-line expertise, it integrates advanced freezing, filling, and handling technologies to support consistent quality and high productivity.

With multiple row configurations, POLO 12 offers a strong balance between output, footprint, and operational flexibility. The machine can be equipped with either a cascade brine system for faster freezing and improved energy efficiency, or a bath brine system for wider product designs and tighter cup spacing. Cascade freezing delivers up to 35-40% faster freezing, allowing higher productivity with warmer brine and lower refrigeration costs. POLO 12 supports flexible stick handling with automatic bulk feed, missing-stick detection, and compatibility with flat or round sticks.

Servo-driven extraction, dipping, and laydown systems ensure gentle product handling and precise transfer to wrappers. Integrated washing, defrost, and water-saving systems reduce downtime and operating costs. With easy mold changeover, modular design, and compatibility with both intermittent (HSW) and continuous (GMW) wrappers, POLO 12 helps ice cream producers expand product variety, improve efficiency, and maintain stable daily production.

Flexible Product Portfolio

POLO 12 supports a wide range of molded stick novelties through multiple filler options, including multi-flavor, layered, swirl, and inclusion-based products. This allows producers to expand variety without changing the core machine.

Efficient & Controlled Freezing

Cascade or bath brine configurations offer stable freezing conditions, which are well-suited to various product designs. This supports a consistent product structure and reliable daily output.

Reliable Stick Handling

Automatic stick feeding, detection, alignment, and extraction systems reduce rejects and ensure accurate stick positioning throughout production.

Scalable & Line-Compatible Design

The modular build and compatibility with intermittent and continuous wrappers allow POLO 12 to integrate smoothly into existing lines and support future upgrades as production needs evolve.
