Home > Well or Ventilated: What to Choose?

Ice cream in the cockpit?
What's the best choice!

Wells
glycol

PRO

  1. Ideal for the quality of the ice cream: perfect preservation allows the consistency and flavour to be maintained for a long time

  2. Reduced energy consumption.

  3. Static and uniform liquid cooling.

  4. They offer long autonomy in the event of a blackout

  5. They do not need to be defrosted and the cleaning of the counter-pans can be done with the counter turned on.

AGAINST

  1. They require a slightly higher initial investment.

Wells
VENTILATED

PRO

  1. Faster cooling, i.e. reaching temperature more quickly, ideal for events etc.

  2. Lighter and therefore suitable for transport

  3. Lower cost

AGAINST

  1. Slight oxidation of the ice cream

  2. Higher energy consumption

  3. They need to be defrosted periodically

The market is increasingly moving towards well-drained counters, appreciated for their improved ice cream preservation, lower management costs, and greater convenience for the ice cream maker.

But which one to choose between glycol and ventilated wells? The answer depends on the type of operation.

Glycol wells

In professional artisanal ice cream shops, the glycol counter is the ideal solution : it guarantees superior preservation, keeps the ice cream longer and reduces energy consumption, amortizing the initial investment over time.

The ice cream keeps better and longer.
The lower electricity consumption compensates for the higher initial cost due to the construction quality of the bench.

Ventilated wells

On the contrary, for activities with frequent switching on and off, use on mobile vehicles or catering services, the ventilated counter may be more suitable : it reaches the temperature more quickly, as well as offering a reduced weight and a lower initial cost.

However, if your ice cream business requires frequent switching on and off of the counter or it is placed on a mobile vehicle, then the lower weight and lower initial cost might make a ventilated pozzetti counter the best choice.
