Nemox Gelato 5+5K TWIN i-Green ice cream maker

Two flavours at once: the TWIN solves the bottleneck

If you've ever had to queue up flavours, waiting for one cycle to finish before you can start the next, you know exactly why the Gelato 5+5K TWIN exists. It's Nemox's solution for anyone who needs to make two flavours of artisan ice cream simultaneously and independently. Two bowls, two cooling systems, two mixing motors. Each side works on its own.

In practice, this means you can be making a vanilla ice cream in one bowl and a mango sorbet in the other, each with its own programme and timing, without one affecting the other. For an ice cream shop with a wide menu or a restaurant that needs variety, this halves production time.

Real output: double that of a 5K

Each bowl has a capacity of 3.2 litres and produces 1.25 kg of ice cream (1.75 litres) per cycle in 12-15 minutes. As you have two bowls working in parallel, total output is 2 x 5 kg/hour (2 x 7 litres). That's 10 kg of ice cream an hour in two different flavours. For most medium-sized ice cream shops and restaurants with a serious dessert menu, that's more than enough capacity.

Each side has its own 4+4 programmes (4 automatic + 4 manual), so you can be making a creamy ice cream in automatic mode on one side while experimenting with a manual programme on the other. The flexibility is total.

Two completely independent systems

This matters: it's not a machine with a divided bowl. These are two completely independent cooling and mixing systems. Each bowl has its own compressor and its own mixing paddle. If one bowl is in a production cycle and the other in storage, no problem. If you want to start one and leave the other off, that works too. The independence is real.

Automatic processing and storage work just as they do on the 5K CREA: the machine manages the full cycle and switches to storage mode when it finishes. Multiplied by two.

Build and materials

The whole unit is made from stainless steel. The mixing paddles are stainless steel and included as standard. Drainage is by gravity, so removing the ice cream is clean and quick. It measures 660 x 435 x 1050 mm and weighs 84.5 kg: compact for what it offers.

Cooling is by air with R290 gas (i-Green), the most efficient and sustainable refrigerant. Total power is 950 W for both bowls, which is very low consumption considering you're powering two independent cooling systems.

Who the TWIN is for

I recommend it if:

• You need a variety of flavours and can't afford to make one after another.
• Your ice cream shop produces between 10 and 40 kg a day and you want to do it in half the time.
• You have a restaurant with an ambitious dessert menu and need two different preparations at once.
• You do catering or events where speed and variety are critical.

I don't recommend it if:

• You only work with one flavour, or two at most, and can wait between cycles. The Gelato 5K CREA sorts it out for you for a good deal less.
• You need industrial output. Look at the 12K range or higher.

Optional accessories

• Containment ring with deflector — Increases the load per cycle to 1.5 kg. Recommended if you want to get the most out of each batch.
• Magnetic spatula holder — Attaches magnetically to the machine. With two bowls running, having the spatula always to hand is more important than ever.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use just one bowl?

Yes, each side is completely independent. You can use just one bowl when you don't need both.

Do the two bowls share the same programme?

No, each bowl has its own control panel and its own programmes. You can make creamy ice cream in one and sorbet in the other with no problem at all.

Does it need special installation?

No. A standard 220V socket and ventilation around the machine. No water supply.

Does it take up much more space than a standard 5K?

It measures 660 x 435 x 1050 mm. It's wider than a single 5K, but surprisingly compact for a twin-bowl machine. It fits perfectly on a standard work table.
