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 18 is a high-capacity in-line molded stick machine designed for large-scale ice cream production with advanced product design needs. It supports outputs of up to 48.000 pieces per hour, making it suitable for high-volume ice cream lines. The cascade brine system with falling-film technology delivers fast and consistent freezing that supports stable product structure and efficient energy use. A bath brine configuration is also available for wider products or specific mold layouts, offering flexibility in product design.

POLO 18 accommodates Gram Equipment’s full range of fillers and attachments, enabling multi-color, multi-layer, swirl, side-by-side, core-filled, and inclusion-rich products. Bottom-up filling supports extrusion-like ice cream with higher overrun and large inclusions. Automated stick insertion, alignment, and extraction help reduce rejects and maintain high yield. Servo-driven dipping, multi-dip options, dry coating, and flexible laydown systems ensure smooth transfer to downstream wrapping.

Integrated washing and defrost systems support efficient daily operation. With its modular design and high automation level, POLO 18 helps ice cream producers scale production, control unit costs, and continuously innovate while maintaining consistent quality.

High-Volume Production Capability

POLO 18 is designed for large-scale manufacturing, supporting outputs of up to 43,200 pieces per hour. This helps producers meet high demand while keeping unit costs under control.
