The Omcan 58179 Ice Cream Maker
The Omcan 58179 is the Musso Stella ice cream maker, a countertop batch freezer with a 3-liter bowl capacity and 1.5-liter maximum ingredient capacity, hand-crafted in Italy with over 50 years of Italian engineering behind it. 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.
76 RPM Paddle Speed for Authentic Gelato Texture
The 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.
R134A Refrigerant with Self-Contained Compressor
The 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.
