The AISI 304 stainless steel body is built for longevity, and the refrigerant coil is welded directly to the bowl to minimize temperature dispersion, which means the bowl gets colder faster and holds temperature more consistently during the churning cycle. For gelato shops, restaurants, cafes, and even serious home kitchens, this machine produces authentic Italian gelato texture that commercial soft-serve machines cannot replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e76 RPM Paddle Speed for Authentic Gelato Texture\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe paddle induction motor turns at 76 RPM, a speed specifically calibrated to incorporate just the right amount of air for dense, creamy gelato rather than the airy, whipped texture of American-style ice cream. The sharp stainless steel paddle breaks up any lumps and helps prevent ice crystal formation, which is the difference between silky gelato and grainy homemade ice cream. A mechanical timer runs up to 60 minutes, and typical preparation time is 30 to 40 minutes per batch depending on the recipe and ingredient temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eR134A Refrigerant with Self-Contained Compressor\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe self-contained R134A refrigeration system means you do not need to pre-freeze a bowl or add ice and salt like consumer-grade models. You pour your base in, set the timer, and walk away. At 250W on 110V\/60Hz, the unit draws minimal power. The 68-pound weight and 12.2 by 20.1 by 13.8 inch footprint keep it stable during operation on a countertop. Every machine is individually tested and quality-checked at the Musso lab in Mortara, Pavia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omcan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51267174367517,"sku":"58179","price":1523.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/45639_da06f89b-9f3d-4d90-9454-6f20ab2683c3.jpg?v=1778412991"},{"product_id":"omcan-58178-musso-mini-ice-cream-maker-2l-bowl-capacity-200w-80-rpm-induction-motor-r134a-made-in-italy","title":"Omcan 58178 Musso Mini Ice Cream Maker, 2L Bowl Capacity, 200W, 80 RPM Induction Motor, R134A, Made in Italy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Omcan 58178 is the Musso Mini ice cream maker, a compact countertop unit with a 2-liter bowl capacity and a maximum ingredient load of 0.75 liters per batch. This machine is built for restaurants, gelato shops, cafes, and catering operations that want to make small batches of fresh gelato, ice cream, or sorbet in-house without the footprint or cost of a full-size batch freezer. Each batch takes 30 to 40 minutes from liquid mix to finished product, and the 60-minute mechanical timer lets you walk away and come back to a ready batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e80 RPM Paddle Induction Motor for Gelato Texture\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe paddle induction motor turns at 80 RPM, which is deliberately slower than what you see in most consumer machines. That slower speed incorporates less air into the mix, which is exactly what you want for dense, creamy Italian-style gelato. Higher-speed machines whip in too much air and produce a lighter, fluffier texture that tastes more like soft serve than gelato. The stainless steel paddle breaks up ice crystals as they form on the bowl wall, preventing large crystals from developing and keeping the finished product smooth. The refrigerant coil is welded directly to the bowl rather than wrapped around the outside, which minimizes temperature dispersion and keeps the freeze zone tight against the mixing surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAISI 304 Stainless Steel Construction, Made in Italy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is AISI 304 grade stainless steel, the same food-grade alloy used in commercial kitchen equipment because it resists corrosion and cleans easily. Every Musso machine is hand-assembled and tested at the factory in Mortara, Italy, backed by over 50 years of gelato machine manufacturing. At 17.7 inches wide, 11.8 inches deep, and 10.6 inches tall, it fits on a prep table or countertop without dominating the workspace. The unit weighs 40 pounds, runs on a standard 120V outlet with a NEMA 5-15P plug, and draws 200 watts.
