Gram Equipment @ SMART Inclusion Disc

Stick

Gram Equipment @ SMART Inclusion Disc enables large inclusions and ripple patterns in ice cream sticks with gentle, low-pressure filling and hygienic design.

  • Handles up to 30% inclusions with controlled pressure and uniform filling.

  • Low-pressure filling concept protects ice cream structure and ripple patterns during filling and stick insertion.

  • Sealed pistons and temperature zoning support cleaner and more controlled production.

Inclusion handling that protects shape and consistency

Large inclusions have become a defining part of molded stick innovation, shaping texture, appearance, and perceived value. As inclusion levels rise, producers must protect product shape and consistency while keeping production stable and hygienic.

Gram Equipment @ SMART Inclusion Disc is designed to make high inclusion levels manageable and repeatable. By allowing inclusions and mixes to settle gently in the mold, it supports natural distribution that protects shape and texture.

This controlled approach reduces interference during stick insertion and freezing, helping products remain consistent as designs become more ambitious. Gram Equipment @ SMART Inclusion Disc ensures inclusion complexity stays where it belongs - in the product, not the process.

Key features

Gram Equipment @ SMART Inclusion Disc is developed to expand product possibilities for molded ice cream sticks with large inclusions and complex patterns. Designed around a low-pressure filling concept, it allows inclusions of up to 30% while maintaining stable shape, smooth surfaces, and consistent quality.

The system supports multi-flavor filling and integrated ripple patterns without disturbing product structure. Low-pressure filling reduces stress on the ice cream matrix, while servo-guided stick insertion follows the product movement to ensure precise positioning. Any contact between inclusions and the stick is automatically compensated inside the closed cavity, preventing deformation and protecting ripple designs.

Two built-in pressure regulation features stabilize filling pressure and relieve internal cavity pressure before exit, supporting uniform product shape and preventing local expansion. Gram Equipment @ SMART Inclusion Disc is part of Gram Equipment @ SMART Solutions portfolio, designed to enhance production efficiency, quality, and energy use.

Hygienic temperature zoning separates cold ice cream areas from warmer dry zones. Sealed pistons prevent melted ice cream from reaching warm sections, reducing contamination risk and minimizing cleaning frequency. By pressing the stick into the cavity after filling, leakage is reduced and filling stability is improved.
