Overview

Following a highly successful visit the previous year, the IChemE Auckland Member Group is returning to Tip Top Ice Cream for a technical site tour.

This is not just a standard factory tour; it is a deep dive into the process engineering that powers New Zealand’s most iconic ice cream brand. 

  • Heat Treatment & CIP: The critical hygiene and thermal processes in dairy production.
  • Industrial Refrigeration: The engineering behind large-scale cooling and the hardening tunnel process.
  • Plant Walkthrough: A guided look at the production lines in action.

The visit will conclude with a rare opportunity to taste fresh ice cream straight off the production line—where the texture and flavour are at their peak.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required:

For safety and food hygiene reasons, all attendees must provide their own:

  • Full skin coverage: Long-sleeved shirt and long trousers (no shorts or T-shirts).
  • Footwear: Fully closed-in shoes.
  • Safety Gear: High-visibility vest and safety glasses.
  • Note: Earplugs will be provided by the site.

Registration: Spaces are strictly limited to 30 participants. Please register early to secure your spot.
