Product Tips (cont.)

Some cappuccino or latté mixes contain dairy products which can spoil if not refrigerated. If the freezer is to be turned

off at night these products must be removed from the freezer.

Contact your local health department regarding its regulations for proper mix handling and storage.

Carburetor Assembly

Your new freezer uses a metering device, known as a carburetor, to feed the proper ratio of mix and air into the freez-

ing cylinder (and to prevent frozen product from rinsing out of the freezing cylinder).

The carburetor, or carb tube, is a tube with a hole, or

series of holes, bored through the side. It is located in

the hopper and fits in the hole that leads to the freezing

cylinder. Air flows into the freezing cylinder through the

top of the tube and mix flows in through a smaller hole

in the side of the carb tube. The size of the mix inlet

hole can be balanced with the viscosity (thickness) of

the liquid mix and product draw rate, in such a way that

the proper amount of mix is fed into the freezer cylinder

to blend with air at just the right ratio. Mix viscosity

varies by mix type, mix temperature and mix age.

Different serving rates also demand different feed rates.

For many products, the proper mix to air ratio is general-

ly accepted to be two parts mix to one part air. This propor-

tion yields a finished product that is both tasty and profitable. At this ratio, one gallon of liquid mix will yield a volume

of one and one-half gallons of frozen product. This additional volume is the overrun in the product. Crathco offers

three versions of carb tubes (see Figure A). Depending on the product being served and overrun requirements there

is a standard tube for most slush or cocktail products, a low overrun carb tube that allows all air trapped in the freez-

ing cylinder to escape and a smoothie/shake carb tube. This carb tube has an outer sleeve that can be rotated to line

up with different hole sizes to provide various levels of overrun. Most applications only require the standard carb tube.

Mix Considerations - General

Freezing characteristics are affected by the amount of sweeteners and solids in the mix. The amount of sweeteners

and solids is called BRIX. BRIX can be measured with an instrument called a refractometer. A BRIX reading of

between 11 and 14 will provide optimum freezer operation. Mixes with this BRIX level will freeze down to a smooth,

uniform consistency. Mixes with too high a BRIX level will take longer to freeze down and will yield a soft, wet frozen

product. Mixes with too low a BRIX level will have larger ice crystals and will have a tendency to dispense slowly.

Alcohol content also affects product freezing characteristics. High alcohol content may prevent the freezer from

serving product at proper thickness.

Note: Always take BRIX measurement using mix that has been thoroughly blended, before it is frozen. Always allow

frozen mix to thaw thoroughly before taking a reading.

For maximum output capacity, always pre-chill mix before adding it to the freezer. Pre-chilled mix gives the freezer a

head start on the freezing process and will speed both initial freeze down and recovery time. It is normal for output

capacity to decrease when warm mix is added, or when the freezer is operated in a warm area.
