The pasteurized mix does not fully extrude from the pasteurizing chamber?

The pasteurized mix may not fully extrude from the Coldelite COMPACTA Series pasteurizing chamber due to:
1. Not enough sugar in the mix – the mix may freeze and block extrusion. 2. Ice cream mix in the drip drawer – possibly caused by a missing or worn stuffing box. 3. Gasket missing or not properly installed behind the ice cream door – causing leakage and improper extrusion.
Each of these issues can prevent the mix from flowing correctly out of the machine.

The pasteurized mix does not fully extrude from the pasteurizing chamber?
The pasteurized mix may not fully extrude from the Coldelite COMPACTA Series pasteurizing chamber due to:
1. Not enough sugar in the mix – the mix may freeze and block extrusion.
2. Ice cream mix in the drip drawer – possibly caused by a missing or worn stuffing box.
3. Gasket missing or not properly installed behind the ice cream door – causing leakage and improper extrusion.
Each of these issues can prevent the mix from flowing correctly out of the machine.
