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.
