Ice cream manufacturing equipment and control methods for ice cream manufacturing equipment

Abstract

[Problem] This invention discloses an ice cream making apparatus that can effectively prompt a user to perform a heating and sterilization process, and a control method for the ice cream making apparatus. [Solution] The ice cream making apparatus includes: a hopper for holding ice cream material; a cooling cylinder connected to the hopper and having a stirrer that, by rotating, delivers the material to a downstream outlet; a lever for opening and closing the outlet; and a notification component for prompting sterilization of the material in the hopper and the cooling cylinder. The ice cream making apparatus has a control device that, after the notification component prompts sterilization, if sterilization of the material is not performed and the open state of the lever is detected, prohibits the rotation of the stirrer.
