Century-long engineering traditions and Gram Equipment history

Danish machinery engineering brand Gram Equipment traces its roots back to 1901 when engineer Hans Gram established an engineering and smithy workshop in Vojens, Denmark.

In the late 1930s, the company developed the first automated machine for manufacturing stick ice cream, establishing foundational standards for the modern industrial frozen dessert sector.

Over decades of innovation, the company united the expertise of prominent market innovators including Stormax, Norwood, and WCB Ice Cream.

The contemporary engineering headquarters in Kolding features the dedicated Ice Technology Center R&D facility, providing pilot-scale recipe trials, crystallization analysis, and machinery optimization for global food manufacturers.

Industrial continuous process freezers of the WS and GIF series

Continuous industrial freezers of the WS and GIF series are engineered to chill ice cream mix down to an elastic state between -3 and -6 degrees Celsius while simultaneously whipping air into the product.

Precise electronic air injection and mass flow measurement ensure stable overrun consistency across continuous multi-shift production cycles.

The heavy-duty freezing cylinders are manufactured from wear-resistant alloy steel with an electrolytic hard-chrome inner lining.

The high-speed dasher rotor utilizes self-aligning floating scraper blades made from food-safe polymers that continuously scrape freezing mix from cylinder walls to maintain peak thermal transfer efficiency.

Automated continuous extrusion systems of the BT and BT-C series

The BT extrusion lines and modular BT-C tunnel systems provide automated high-capacity continuous shaping for diverse ice cream novelties including intricate stick bars, extruded slices, sandwiches, and log cakes.

Operating capacities scale up to 43,000 pieces per hour under strict automated piece weight and geometric tolerance controls.

Synchronized multi-axis servo drives power rapid wire and blade cutters to prevent product deformation as extruded shapes exit the profile nozzles.

The modular deep-hardening tunnels deliver balanced multi-zone cold air circulation down to -40 degrees Celsius, setting the product geometry prior to enrobing.

Rotary and linear novelty molding systems of the RIA and Polo series

The RIA and Polo series molding machines are engineered for traditional stick novelty and fruit-juice bar casting within stainless steel mold pockets submerged in recirculated low-temperature brine baths.

This process produces multi-layered frozen treats with vibrant liquid centers, swirl patterns, and clean surface gloss.

Integrated Stormax automatic stick dispensers deliver wooden sticks with micrometer depth alignment into freezing cavities.

Following the freezing cycle, a warm water spray releases the novelty outer shell, allowing robotic extractor carriages to lift the bars by their sticks and transfer them directly into multi-flavor chocolate enrobing tanks.

Linear and rotary automated filling platforms Flexline and CAF

High-speed filling platforms across the Flexline and CAF series deliver high dosing accuracy into waffle cones, paper and plastic tubs, and bulk containers.

In-line Flexline machines reach speeds up to 40,000 units per hour and incorporate chocolate spray stations that coat the inner waffle surface to prevent moisture absorption.

The filling platforms feature servo-driven volumetric depositors, multi-color swirl nozzles, and continuous ripple sauce dosing pumps.

Packaging modules handle automated lid de-nesting, ultrasonic sanitary foil heat-sealing, and high-resolution inkjet production coding for complete track-and-trace compliance.

Replacement spare parts, predictive lifecycle maintenance, and upgrades

Uninterrupted operation of high-speed ice cream manufacturing lines requires timely replacement of wear components subject to thermal stress and sanitary washdowns.

Gram Equipment supplies precision dasher scraper blades, sanitary mechanical face seals, ingredient dosing gears, and food-grade elastomer O-ring kits.

For operational lines, Gram Equipment delivers comprehensive modernization programs including variable-speed drive retrofits, integration of SMART Line predictive digital monitoring systems, and mold retooling kits that adapt existing machines to emerging dessert formats without requiring full line replacement.
