EN 16764:2016

• Abstract:

  This European Standard specifies requirements and test conditions of soft ice cream machines for processing ice cream and similar frozen desserts.; It defines machines performance characteristics and energy consumption, measured under specified conditions and test methods, using a reference test mix.; This European Standard applies to the following types of soft ice cream machines: commercial ice cream, soft serve and shake freezers, which freeze and dispense frozen product (e.g. dairy, yogurt), included are conventional operation and pasteurization phase. The equipment may include separate refrigeration systems for the frozen product and fresh mix and may be either air-cooled or water-cooled.; The soft ice cream machines are evaluated for the following performance:; - maximum energy input rate, or maximum current draw,; - production capacity,; - overrun,; - initial freeze-down energy consumption and duration,; - production energy consumption,; - idle energy consumption,; - stand-by energy consumption,; - pasteurization energy consumption (if applicable).

Overview

EN 16764:2016 is a CEN (European) standard that defines performance and energy-consumption test methods for soft ice cream machines. It applies to commercial soft-serve, ice cream and shake freezers (including machines with pasteurization phases), whether air-cooled or water-cooled and whether they use a single or separate refrigeration systems for mix and frozen product. The standard specifies test conditions, a reference test mix and measurement procedures to quantify machine performance and energy use.

Key Topics

• Performance metrics covered:
  • Maximum energy input rate or maximum current draw
  • Production capacity (portions per hour)
  • Overrun (air incorporation)
  • Initial freeze-down energy consumption and duration
  • Production, idle and stand-by energy consumption
  • Pasteurization phase energy consumption (if applicable)
  • Product (extrusion) temperature
• Test conditions and methods:
  • Use of a defined reference test mix and hopper pre-cooling (refrigerated mix at 5 °C ± 1 °C)
  • Measurement of reference portions (150 g) drawn at specified intervals (e.g., 60 s) and production cycles (e.g., 30 min)
  • Initial loading at specified test-room temperature (e.g., 24 °C ± 3 °C) and stabilized ambient conditions (test ambient nominally 22 °C)
• Test room and apparatus requirements:
  • Test-room design, insulation and thermal stability (airflow, wall/ceiling insulation, floor thermal characteristics)
  • Calibrated instruments: watt-hour meter (specified resolution/uncertainty), balance, thermometer probes, water meter and pressure gauge
  • Installation and supply voltage monitoring (voltage within manufacturer’s nameplate tolerance)
• Reporting:
  • Test report to document installation, measured voltages, temperatures, energy and water consumption, freeze-down times and overrun.

Applications

• Manufacturers: validate product performance, optimize refrigeration and beater settings, document energy claims for marketing and compliance.
• Test laboratories and certification bodies: perform repeatable energy-consumption and performance testing for product evaluation and conformity assessment.
• Procurement and foodservice operators: compare energy use and production capacity of commercial soft-serve machines for lifecycle cost and operational planning.
• Energy auditors and regulators: benchmark appliance efficiency and support regulations, labelling or procurement specifications for foodservice equipment.

Related standards / context

• EN 16764:2016 was prepared by CEN/TC 44 (Commercial and Professional Refrigerating Appliances and Systems). It complements other CEN documents addressing commercial refrigeration testing and energy performance. Manufacturers and test labs should align testing with this CEN standard and any applicable national implementations.
