fin for ice cream machine model t4 and t5 brand frigomat

This scraper blade ('aletta') is the fin mounted on the mixer of the Frigomat ice cream machine, specific to the T4 and T5 models. During churning it rotates in contact with the wall of the refrigerated cylinder, continuously scraping off and folding in the mix that solidifies against the cold surface, preventing ice blocks from forming and giving the gelato a smooth, creamy texture.

In Frigomat T4 and T5 batch freezers the blade works together with the central mixer shaft: as the shaft turns, the blade constantly scrapes the cylinder wall, moving the already-frozen mix toward the centre and making room for the still-liquid mix to reach the cold wall.

With use the blade wears down, deforms or loses contact with the wall: typical signs are uneven churning, gelato with ice crystals, mix residue crusted on the cylinder and longer processing times. In these cases it should be replaced with the original spare part code AGWS9.001.108, compatible with Frigomat T4 and T5 ice cream machines.
