Antarctica Equipment, a leader in temperature-controlled food display solutions, has announced the launch of the innovative TONDA Gelato Display Case from Italian manufacturer Ifi S.p.a. in India. The TONDA is the world’s first round and rotating gelato display case, designed to revolutionize the way gelato and pastries are presented and preserved, blending advanced technology with a focus on sustainability and ergonomics.

The TONDA introduces a unique circular and rotating design that provides a full 360-degree view of the gelato, enhancing both visibility and the overall presentation. This new approach not only makes it easier for operators to serve customers but also offers a visually engaging experience for patrons. The rotating motion is controlled by infrared sensors, activated by simple hand gestures, reducing physical effort and making service more efficient and ergonomic.

The TONDA is equipped with Ifi’s patented Hi-Performance Closure System (HCS) and Reduced Defrosting Frequency (RDF) technology, which work together to keep gelato at the ideal temperature and texture, even during defrost cycles. The hermetically sealed closure system ensures consistent temperature and humidity across all gelato pans, significantly lowering energy consumption and extending the freshness of the product. The RDF system minimizes the frequency and duration of defrost cycles, reducing heat exposure and preserving the quality of the gelato.

Key features of the TONDA include:

Sensor-Controlled Rotation: Infrared sensors allow for easy, hands-free rotation of the display case with a simple gesture.

Ergonomic Design: The circular design minimizes bending and physical strain for the operator, enhancing comfort during service.

Smart Defrosting: RDF technology optimizes defrosting based on usage, reducing energy consumption and maintaining gelato quality.

Remote Monitoring: The Galileo Digital Connection System allows for precise temperature and performance control, even remotely.

Sustainability is a core aspect of the TONDA’s design. The energy-efficient systems incorporated into the display case can provide up to 25% energy savings compared to traditional models. Its smart defrost and airtight sealing not only lower environmental impact but also maintain the highest standards of gelato preservation. These energy-saving features make TONDA an ideal choice for businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining excellent product quality.

In addition to gelato, TONDA is designed to switch seamlessly between gelato and pastry modes, making it a versatile solution for cafes, patisseries, and gelato parlors. Its sleek, modern design and customizable options also allow businesses to align the display case with their unique brand aesthetics.

Antarctica Equipment is excited to bring TONDA to the Indian market, offering artisans and business owners a solution that not only enhances product presentation but also optimizes preservation and energy efficiency. With its combination of innovative features and sustainable design, TONDA sets a new benchmark for the gelato and pastry industry.
