Model: Tonda
TONDA is the display case for home-made gelato in which gelato makers across the whole world cherish and promote their art.
TONDA perfectly preserves the gelato and displays it, creating a thrill.
It offers ergonomics and comfort with optimum inclination and rotation of fl avours towards the operator and protects the environment thanks to its choice of materials and energy savings.
To give this project form and technology, the IFI R&D department has worked with a designer with refi ned experimental attributes: Makio Hasuike. One of the founders of Italian graphics, Michele Provinciali (1921-2009), who captured its deepest soul with a sign that represents its essence, presented at the Milan Triennale design museum in May 2008.
In 2008, TONDA received an ADI Golden Compass nomination and Innovations Europain award; in 2006 it was awarded the Confi ndustria Awards For Excellence and in 2002 was declared a highly innovative project by the Ministry of Economic Activities.
Since 2009, TONDA has been part of the Farnesina Design Collection, established by Minister Frattini to promote artistic production in the design field in Italy.
The collection, housed in Rome in the Palazzo della Farnesina, is intended to circuit several overseas locations to become the hub of events organized through a global network of embassies, consulates and cultural institutes:
2010 Casa Italia - Winter Olympics, Vancouver Casa Azzurri - World Cup, South Africa Istanbul, European capital of design.
2011 Ara Pacis Museum - Rome Museum of Holon and the Italian Embassy in Israel Centre National d’Art Vivant Zoubeir Turki - Tunisia.
2012 Ecole Nationale d’Architecture - Rabat Musiikkitalo - Helsinki Centre des Arts et de la Culture du Palais des Rais - Algiers.
TONDA... A dream come true
“And as such, if this round steel tub can contain the joyous innocence of childhood and recall the tasteful and almost sensual lightness of a multicoloured cloud, then this new industrial product will no longer be just an innovative gelato display case, but instead will become a happy and colourful meeting place in which to experience what we have all lived through and which has become an intimate part of us.
Michele Provinciali
TONDA gelato
TONDA is available in a single model - display case diameter 1356 mm with three possible bases: round, rectangular 1500 mm or rectangular 1350 mm each one in 12, 15 and 18 pan versions, lacquered fi nish in any RAL colour.
The basic structure is made of tubular steel, epoxy powder painted at 356°F. The display surface moulded in AISI 304 polished stainless steel has been designed to hold 12/15/18 trapezoidal gelato pans.
There are LED lights at the sides of the display case: these are highly effi cient, produce minimal heat and consume little energy.
The central fl avours holder has been lowered so you can see the gelato and the fl avour cards more clearly.
The refrigeration system is ventilated and has a radial evaporator to guarantee completely uniform temperatures inside the pans.
The working temperature of the gelato display case is around -14°C to -18°C, though this can be lowered to -22°C for supercooling.
TONDA has been tested in a climatic chamber at +35°C with 60% RH. A tropicalised version is also available: remote condenser unit tested at +43°C.
Tonda is CE certified for Europe, ETL for North America and GOST Standard for Russia.
TONDA, THE FIRST AND ONLY ROUND ROTATING GELATO DISPLAY CASE
EXCELLENCE BY DESIGN
THE IDEAL BALANCE BETWEEN TRADITIONAL DISPLAY CASES AND POZZETTI UNITS
Tonda, globally unique in terms of its design and technology, embodies the display capacity of the traditional display cases and the perfect storage capacity of the Pozzetti units.
Thanks to its airtight seal, you don’t have to transfer the pans to a refrigerated cabinet at the end of the day
UNIFORM TEMPERATURE TO SAY GOODBYE TO MAPPING
The circular movement of the pans, the airtight sealing and the advanced ventilation system all ensure that the temperature of pans is uniform, preventing the gelato maker from mapping based on temperature differences.
“INTELLIGENT” DEFROSTING FOR A BETTER QUALITY GELATO
Automatic evaporator defrosting, fi xed and standard in normal display cases, is greatly reduced with Tonda and is activated intelligently (RDF System) based on a timer when opening the glass panel - operator’s side.
COMFORT AND ERGONOMICS: OPERATOR HEALTH AND WELFARE
The operator can serve the gelato keeping the correct posture thanks to the clockwise or anticlockwise rotation of the pans, which the operator controls either by a pedal or manually to bring the gelato towards him (maximum pan arrival time 4.5 sec.).
Additionally, the operator does not need to put his hand or arm inside the display case where the temperature is much below freezing point (-14°C -18°C).
ENERGY SAVINGS OF UP TO 25% AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Thanks to its airtight sealing, increased insulation and intelligent defrosting, Tonda provides energy savings of up to 25%, contributing to environmental protection.
COMPLETE VISIBILITY
The complete visibility of the product, including for children, is guaranteed by the 7.5° inclined glass and the 82,8cm height of the customer’s side of the case.
TONDA 4 Seasons
TONDA is also available in the “4 seasons” version. By activating the switch button, the display case will automatically change from the gelato function (-14°C/-18°C) to the pastry function (+2°C/+8°C with 60/70% relative humidity), and vice versa.
It is also necessary to replace the gelato pans with stainless steel trays, possibly equipped with plexiglass accessories (trays and accessories optional, see technical manual).
The Winner is...
TONDA: 30 CONES - 05:31:22
TRADITIONAL DISPLAY CASE: 30 CONES - 05:38:20
TONDA is one of a kind, superior not only for its technology and design but also for its performance.
This is shown in a comparative test between Tonda and a traditional display case.
In order to ensure the maximum reliability of the test, this was carried out under the same, uniform conditions: - same layout for gelato fl avours - same capacity for pans - same operators - same quantity of cones - same fl avours for each cone.
TONDA gelato single portions and sticks
TONDA individual portions may also hold from a minimum of 29 to a maximum of 199 small glasses, in which case the central fl avours holder can be replaced with a tray.
This accessory item (stainless steel tray with methacrylate tray) is useful especially during the low season to reduce the quantity of gelato on display: the flavours most popular with customers can be displayed alongside the individual portions, which remain popular regardless of the season.
The display case can also hold pans with accessories for sticks for maximum versatility and adaptability to different settings. The accessory is made of opaque perforated Plexiglass and is always used in the standard 5-litre trapezoidal pan.
At the centre of the display case you can insert chrome or neutral fl avour cards or an accessory for the individual portions.
TONDA Pastry / Praline
The TN (Normal Temperature) version of TONDA is two display cases in one: simply operate the control panel to switch from pastry (+3°C, 70% RH) to praline (+14°C, 45% RH MAX).
TONDA Pastry/Praline can be fi tted with AISI 304 stainless steel trays and methacrylate accessories for storing and displaying up to a maximum of 198 helpings of small pastries, cakes and individual portions in appropriate containers.
Tonda’s ideal technical function and display features are combined to create an arrangement of products displayed to their full aesthetic potential In the sophisticated praline sector, the praline version of Tonda can be put to excellent use.
The 18/10 stainless steel trays and methacrylate accessories can hold more than 600 chocolates in compositions that emphasize products that combine the good taste and formal creativity of refined chocolate making.
