What is a batch freezer? A batch freezer is a large freezing chamber that mixes, agitates and freezes whatever is put into it. The modern day batch freezer was first invented and patented by my Grandfather, Emery Thompson, one hundred and three years ago – long before the first Italian Gelato ice cream machine was ever built.

What size batch freezers does Emery Thompson manufacture? We build our machines in finished capacities of 5 quart, 12 quart, 24 quart and the world’s largest batch freezer – 44 quart. We are the only company that builds their machines from the ground up to match your electrical requirements. That means Emery Thompson batch freezers are available in single phase or three phase; water or air cooled; 60 or 50 cycle and 220 or 380 volt.

Where are Emery Thompson Batch Freezers manufactured? We are proud to be 100% Made In The U.S.A. using American Labor, American manufactured components and wholly owned by my family! No other company can make this claim: not Electro-Freeze, not Carpigiani, not Stoelting, not Technogel, not even Taylor!

How durable are your machines? The average lifespan of an Emery Thompson is 40 years or more. All the other machines on the market are happy if they last 11 years. Our machines are hand made to your order from cast stainless steel components. Others fabricate their parts and they just don’t hold up. Our condensing units are the world’s best American made Copeland units and our transmissions and drive motors are also Made In The USA

Why do Emery Thompson’s cost less than other batch freezers! We are a family business and thus not top heavy with technocrats. You can buy direct from us or you can buy an Emery Thompson from your local equipment supplier. All the other manufacturers are European and thus subject to a 40% higher Euro vs. the Dollar. You will also pay import duties and costly shipping charges. We have listed our “Direct To The Customer” price list here on our web site. This also helps to keep our spare parts a whole lot less expensive than anyone else

What about used? We never see used equipment available. Our customers do not go out of business. For every 20 Carpigiani’s that show up on E bay, there is only one Emery Thompson offered for sale. Please take the time to read our article called “ET on E Bay.” The batch freezer is the lifeblood of your business…your key to success…an investment in your business. A recent survey of ice cream owners who were asked what their major mistake in business was said, “ buying a used batch freezer.”

What if I need service? Unlike any other piece of equipment you have owned, the Emery Thompson Batch Freezer should not require any service for its first ten years of life. A bold statement, but true! If something isn’t going right, first call our factory and we’ll solve your problem for you. Since we only make changes in our machines to improve on their quality, our machines are not subject to constant problem-creating style changes. We also keep our electronics as simple and thus as trouble free as humanly possible. No gadgets on an Emery Thompson! If the factory is closed for the day or on a weekend, I give my home telephone number to everyone who visits this web site. Try it. Give me a call. 914-643-7391. I can guarantee no other company in the batch freezer business will make you this offer. That’s because we care about each and every batch freezer we sell.

Where can I learn how to make ice cream and other frozen desserts? Personally, I think this is the easiest part of opening your new business. I will gladly instruct you on how to run your new machine and supply you with all the necessary formulations. We are also associated with the world’s most renowned teaching school – Ice Cream University which has courses at convenient locations throughout the United States. In addition to Ice Cream University, we have machinery at Penn State University, University of Florida, University of Wisconsin, University of Missouri, Clemson University, Rutgers University, University of Nebraska and The University of Maryland

I’m certain there must be more questions that I can answer for you. Please don’t hesitate to call me at 718-588-7300 or E-mail me at etfreezers@aol.com
