Ageing vats

Professional gelato mix ageing vats are refrigerated appliances designed to hold ice cream mixtures at controlled temperatures during the ageing stage. Ideal for artisan gelato shops, ice cream production laboratories and pastry kitchens, they help manage the resting period before batch freezing, according to the recipe and production process.

Commercial ice cream mix ageing tanks are available in different capacities, featuring stainless steel tanks, refrigeration systems and temperature controls. Certain models include agitators, timed programmes and digital control panels to support mixture management during ageing. Resting times and operating conditions depend on the ingredients and the production method.

When choosing a professional gelato ageing vat, consider tank capacity, temperature range, agitation system, overall dimensions and ease of cleaning. Daily mix production and compatibility with other laboratory equipment should also be assessed. Mix ageing is a separate operation from any heat treatment required by the production process.
