The Coldelite Compacta VariO 12 Elite is a commercial 2-in-1 batch freezer and pasteurizer designed for professional production of gelato, ice cream, and sorbet — and increasingly used by cannabis and hemp operators producing infused frozen desserts at commercial scale.

Why cannabis operators choose this unit: The Compacta VariO 12 Elite allows you to pasteurize your infused mix in the upper horizontal cylinder while simultaneously freezing and producing gelato or ice cream in the lower cylinder. This integrated workflow reduces production time, minimizes contamination risk between stages, and allows precise temperature control critical for maintaining cannabinoid potency through the production process.
