Mixing raw materials and pasteurisation

The first stage in making ice cream is to decide what is to be in the mix. From that a recipe is created (ingredients, dissolving temperatures and pasteurisation etc.), followed by mixing the components.

In a pasteurisation vat equipped with a scraping agitator, the mix is raised in temperature to facilitate dissolving the ingredients. Once everything is dissolved, the tank temperature is allowed to rise in order to pasteurise the mix.
