First ice pop workstation - molds do not leave the machine!

The most innovative ice pop equipment in the world, now with the latest version!

This equipment is produced in the United States and Brazil

Product certified for the United States and Canada under UL (electrical safety) and NSF (sanitation) standards

Machine designed to be seen by your customers

With bold design, it allows you to produce ice pops in front of your customers.

Can be supplied in various colors to meet the visual identities of franchise chains or specific stores.

Tempered glass lid for viewing the inside of the machine during operation. Conventional machines have plastic or metal lids, which easily scratch and make it difficult to see.


Large variety of ice pops, with high production

It produces a large variety of ice pops with different shapes and sizes, including creamy or solid fillings.

Aerated ice pops are also done efficiently, resulting in a pleasant creamy texture and increasing the profitability of the final product.

The only equipment capable of producing more than 350 ice pops per hour in continuous mode and for an indefinite period, occupying less than 21 sq ft / 2 m² of space.


Production of ice pops at extra low temperatures

To avoid melting ice pops subjected to hot chocolate coatings or syrup fillings it may require freezing up to -22 F/-30°C.

Aerated ice pops also need an extra low temperature to avoid air bubbles from rising to the top. The same happens with ice pops that have solid particles in their composition, that tend to decant if the freezing is not done quickly.

In order to reach these temperatures a special fluid is used for both freezing and detaching ice pops from their molds.

The most common fluids used by conventional ice pop machines work efficiently up to -4F/-20°C maximum.

This special fluid used in Robopop can work at very low temperatures with higher performance than conventional fluids.

The result is a much faster, cleaner and more efficient ice pop production.


Three tanks: freezing, unmolding and fluid reserve

Filled with the same thermal fluid, the freezing tank is heavily cooled and the unmold tank is slightly heated so that the ice pops are released from the mold. The reserve tank serves to automatically control the fluid level.

All three tanks are interconnected so there is no fluid loss nor drops on the floor of the establishment, which commonly occurs with unmolding tanks separated from the machine.

The space for unmolding is ample and provided with mechanisms for extraction of ice pops and draining of the mold after its removal from the hot bath.

The feeding of the mold with new mixture is also done in this space, eliminating the use of auxiliary tables for these operations, commonly needed in conventional machines.

In the freezing tank several jets of coolant are directed under each mold enabling all molds to be ready at the same time, with uniform freezing of the ice pops within each mold. This is especially important for ice pops with fillings.


Movable tray for displacement of molds over tanks

A movable sliding tray moves the mold from the unmold tank towards the freezing tank after feeding it with a new mixture, passing over the other molds. This prevents the fed mold having to pass outside the machine to enter the freezing tank, which would wet the establishment's floor with drops of thermal fluid in a short time.

The sliding tray prevents these drops of fluid from falling on the other molds already filled with mixture in the freezing tank. In this way, the entire process of producing ice pops is made within Robopop, as a complete work station, without any need to take molds to unmold tanks nor to tables to feed the mixture, eliminating the amount of space needed in your establishment.

Conventional machines use unmold tanks placed away from the machine and it is necessary to use an auxiliary table to feed the molds. This production setup wastes the thermal fluid with frequent drippings, in addition to leaving the floor dangerously slippery.


100% immersion of ice pop molds in the freezing fluid

When removing an ice pop mold from the freezing tank to be immersed into the unmold tank, the level of the freezing fluid is automatically raised so that the remaining molds always remain 100% immersed, avoiding slow and irregular freezing of the product which is common when using conventional machines.

It is possible to use only one or two molds, depending on the quantity of ice pops to be produced, and the level of the fluid rises or descends automatically, without any need of manual addition or drainage.

Fluid replacement does not have to be done all the time as in conventional machines, since the reserve tank functions as a "lung" of that fluid and level sensors warn you when it needs to be filled.

An easy-to-disassemble and clean filter is positioned in one of the tanks to ensure the fluid is always free of impurities.


Production 100% compliant with safety and sanitary standards

Assembly and components are approved for electrical safety, fire, malfunction, use beyond limits and all situations that may cause damage to the operator and the environment.

Tanks and other parts of the equipment with rounded corners, avoiding food residues from being trapped in corners or edges.

Stainless steel and food grade plastics are used in all food zone areas. Complete tank drainage system with accessible valves.

100% washable with water jet.


Touch screen panel buttons with production and maintenance warnings

Tempered glass front panel with graphic display and touch buttons that operate a modern electronic control system for easy configuration and visualization of:

- Freezing and unmolding temperatures.

- Duration of ice pop production cycle and cumulative equipment working time.

- Periodic maintenance alerts: fluids, filters, refrigeration, electric.

- Alerts of occurrences: low levels of fluids, insufficient refrigeration, operating systems.


Special fiberglass cabinet

Molded in one piece, without any connecting parts, eliminates residue accumulation points and provides harmonious curves with visually attractive details that are impossible to obtain on conventional machines made with folded sheets only.

Fiberglass also increases the machine's ability to conserve temperatures, saving up to 10% of the energy consumed by conventional machines made only with stainless steel.

The mechanical strength of the fiberglass frame also increases substantially when compared to conventional machines, made with various screwed parts.

Fiberglass is also chemically resistant to detergents, solvents and ultraviolet (sun) rays, as well as being non-toxic in contact with food.

The lower part of the equipment is composed of stainless steel structure that supports humid environments and allows free passage of air for cooling.


Stainless steel panels without folds and screws

Absolutely new, the stainless steel panels that close the fiberglass cabinet do not have folds or points of residue accumulation and are fixed to the machine by a magnetic system, without the use of any screws, making it extremely easy to disassemble and clean.

They are housed in the cabinet on rubber profiles, which eliminate vibrations and serve to seal the assembly even against water jets.


Tropicalized and economical refrigeration

Machine ready to work also in high temperatures and humidity, like stores without air conditioning near the beach, for example.

Conventional ice pop machines can hardly withstand operating in environments with no air conditioning.

The aerodynamic fairing of the assembly reduces losses in the airflow that passes underneath the machine, where heat exchangers of high energy efficiency are located that provide up to 20% of energy savings compared to conventional machines.

Gas and cooling components are 100% environmentally friendly.


* The production capacity strongly depends on the climate conditions (temperature and humidity) and adequate instalation of the machine.

* Lower voltage power (208V) reduces the hourly production by 10% or more. Higher voltages (240V) increase it.

* Operating at 50Hz the hourly production is reduced by 20% or more.

* The greater the ice pop volume and weight, the smaller the production speed. Mexican Paletas of 130 ml take the longest to freeze.

* At operating temperatures around -22F/-30°C the hourly production may drop by more than 50%.

* The special fluid recommended for Robopop is approved by NSF (National Science Foundation) for incidental food contact only.

Understand the past to shape our future
Format: Kindle
I’m grateful Ray Dalio has shared his world view and his access to leading thinkers and valuable sources of data, to make me more aware and better prepared for what’s coming. I am also friends with Ray, and I trust him. This book offers at least two major contributions. First, the synthesis and integration of economic, social, and geopolitical history that presents a holistic view of how countries rise and fall. Leveraging his relationships with leading thinkers and historians, Ray gives us a way to understand the major forces, cycles, and paradigm shifts that can dramatically change the world around us. You would have to read dozens of well-chosen books to gain such an understanding, and you still may not have a comprehensive theory. Second, the quantification of each major nation’s economic, cultural, and geopolitical health. With the support of Bridgewater’s multi-hundred-million-dollar research budget and team, Ray presents the key determinants of a country’s strengths and weaknesses through time, and relative to other countries. Seeing the most important long-term trends in charts provide useful perspectives that are unavailable elsewhere. Here are some of my biggest take-aways. Disorderly conflict is the pre-cursor to destructive conflict that is likely to be devastating for all of us. Both the winners and the losers of destructive actions are worse off relative to compromise, mutual understanding, and respect. As an American, I should not take for granted that I live in the most powerful country that has seen one of the longest periods of peace, economic growth, and innovation in global history. It’s not the norm, and if we aren’t careful, things could get a lot worse. Invest in innovation. Both as an investor and as a citizen, innovation has been a powerful force for improving lives and driving economic growth. We are likely in for a period of high inflation. The easiest way for the government to deal with high levels of debt is by printing money, using stimulus to spur economic growth, and keeping interest rates lower than nominal GDP growth. That is, to inflate their way out of debt. As an investor, he suggests avoiding long term holdings of cash and bonds. Instead, he recommends diversifying with assets that can do well in an inflationary environment, like highly dependable cash generating stocks, some gold (possibly a little cryptocurrency), and other scarce inflation-protected assets. This book is a major contribution. I strongly recommend reading or listening to it. If you don’t have the time, at least read the first few pages of the introduction, the first chapter “The Big Cycle in a Tiny Nutshell”, chapter 8 "The Last 500 Years in a Tiny Nutshell", and the final chapter called “The Future”. I hope you found this helpful.

A Captivating Look at Empires and America’s Future
Format: Kindle
This is an extraordinary book. Although it’s written by an economist, it is anything but boring. The author does an outstanding job of examining multiple empires across hundreds of years. He analyzes the rise and fall of each empire by segmenting their respective histories into different cycles. He then identifies the various cycles that each empire goes through, from its initial rise to its eventually fall. Each cycle is sub divided into key indicators such as military strength, budget deficits, wealth gaps, education, etc. In the end, the author looks at the United States using this same cyclical methodology. Mr. Dalio’s arguments and analysis are sound and make good sense. His interpretation and description of various historical events, especially those pertaining to the British and Dutch empires, are right on target. Throughout the book, he is consistent in the application of his analytic model. This is noteworthy as I felt his analysis of China to be slightly flawed. The author appears to have omitted certain elements of modern-day China; most notably is the pending population time bomb caused by their previous one child policy. China’s population is now shrinking. In addition, and unlike America, the Chinese seem culturally incapable of using immigration to solve their problem. This opposing view of China, however, does not detract from the author’s overall analysis. He is consistent in his analysis and cites other data which support counter arguments. Bottom line, this book was far more interesting than I anticipated. Even though the author’s analysis is complex, the book is well written and easy to understand. The narrative is both captivating and entertaining. Overall, this is just a great book.

Is the United States Getting Close to Multiple Simultaneous Crises?
Format: Hardcover
In this book, Dalio presents his model of the rise and fall of "empires". The closer it gets to the present day the more interesting the book is. The last three chapters of the book which deal with the rise of China, the current tensions between China and the US, the United States's alleged decline and Dalio's conjectures regarding the future are five stars. The build up to the final three chapters is decent, although only occasionally riveting: The book is only three stars before the strong close. It is hard to evaluate the merits of Dalio's historical model given that he is only presenting it at moderate depths so as to introduce it all in one volume. The model says that empires rise and fall, no surprise, and talks about the interplay of economic, internal, and external factors that take an empire through the cycle. Dalio also mentions that inside the Big Cycle there are other cycles, and inside those cycles other cycles. He does not, however, go into much detail regarding the sub-cycles. This sounds reminiscent of Robert Prechter's Elliot Waves or perhaps, even, pre-Copernican astrology. Is this a model so loose, like Elliot Waves, that it can be found to fit anything that could happen? Is it falsifiable? Along the way was the validity tested by approaching an empire that there was little prior knowledge of to make "forward predictions" regarding what would happen? Has Dalio merely cherry picked the three examples which best seem to demonstrate the soundness of the model while omitting more problematic cases? There is not enough in this book to do a rigorous analysis. The United States Civil War is a good example of something I had trouble thinking about in terms of the model. According to the model the final stage in an empire's breakdown is civil war or revolution. In the case of the United States, however, the Civil War occurred while the United States was still ascendant: in stage 2 out of 6 with stage 3 being the peak. Certainly there was no debt crisis which caused the Civil War and the United States had little going on in terms of external conflict at the time. So perhaps that could have been taken as a "prediction" that the United States would almost certainly have survived the Civil War in tact? The truth, however, is that the South came very close to winning the Civil War, in the sense of being recognized as independent, according to McPherson's Battle Cry of Freedom. Another thing that I am not sure how to evaluate using the model is the United States after the Civil War and after the Revolution. Although these were periods of rebuilding they do not seem to fit well into Dalio's model. After victory in these conflicts Americans were very magnanimous (as it was later after World War II). Far from being purged those who were on the wrong side of history ended up facing rather little in the way of consequences. So how does this fit into the model? Obviously, there will be some "rebuilding" after a Revolution or Civil War so is the model just saying there will be something which could not not happen? Indeed although the United States was vibrant after the Revolution, the period after the Civil War as described in Richard White's The Republic for Which it Standards seems in decline compared to the Antebellum period. According to Dalio's model, however, the United States was stage 2 rising into stage 3 during this period. Regardless of the merits of the model, which would probably require many in depth books to evaluate fully, there is definitely some good high level overviews of Chinese, European, and American history. There are many interesting charts and statistics thrown in. As mentioned, the close of the book is far and away the best part of it. Dalio describes the cultural differences between Americans and Chinese people and their different outlooks toward governing. Dalio does not seem to be pushing any political agenda, at least not too hard, but rather what he has carefully measured to be objectively true. Although clearly an admirer of much about China, he is also willing to criticize some aspects of China. At the same time, his criticism omits its surveillance state. Looking forward Dalio presents some very interesting charts and statistics regarding America's growing internal conflicts. He even has a graph to show how bad it is now compared to early points in history. Dalio is willing to stick his neck out and quantify what his model is predicting as the probability of civil war in the United States and the probability of military war with China in the next decade. Although very thought provoking overall, one particularly persistent problem throughout the book is that many of the charts are very hard to read. There are graphs with eight different lines with some of the colors very hard to distinguish between. The book also almost never references its sources. Indeed, given how much history Dalio has obviously studied, a bibliography, or at least a list of recommendations, would be very nice. Dalio is very repetitive regarding the inevitable death of fiat currencies through money printing. At the same time he also does provide concrete advise of how to prepare. He gives some definite timelines and the dates are very close. To qualify this, somewhat, however, his company Bridgewater Associates has basically had a "lost decade" using his models to generate any kinds of returns since his departure around 2012. Nevertheless it is interesting to think about whether or the US is on the verge of multiple simultaneous crises.

The past is the future? Focus on the big picture
Format: Hardcover
This book isn’t just about economics; it also takes a captivating look at history. Written in a style similar to his previous book, "Big Debt Crises," Ray presents history in cycles. To make things easier to grasp, he added some helpful features: passages are bolded for a quick read, and a red dot marks principles that are considered timeless and universal truths. I really appreciate the QUICK-READ option. It’s so easy to overlook key points in a long book, but the bolded sections help me focus. For example, one universal truth is, "Throughout time, the formula for success has been a system in which well-educated people operating civilly with each other, come up with innovations, receive funding through capital markets, and own the means by which their innovation..." The book is divided into three parts: How the world works, How it has worked over the last 500 years, and the Future. The first part explores the rise and fall of empires. The second offers an in-depth look at the Dutch Empire, the British Empire, the United States, and China. The last part looks ahead at what’s to come. The appendix even includes a computer-generated power score for 11 world-leading countries. I haven’t finished the entire book yet, but after reading some chapters, I can say Ray did a fantastic job condensing 500 years of history into an accessible, engaging format. The graphs also help clarify his points. It answered many questions I had, like how pandemics have impacted the world. Instead of flipping through multiple books to find answers, I can find everything I need here. What I also really appreciate is Ray’s honesty. He doesn’t shy away from tough issues. If he's not an expert on something, he clearly states where he learned it from. He’s straightforward, sincere, and speaks his mind. Even if you do not believe that history will repeat itself, you will still enjoy reading this book.

Phenomenal book, one major criticism
Format: Kindle
Great book. Dalio does a remarkable job seeing the bigger picture and providing confidence through historical events/ever repeating cycles that you can predict at a high level what is coming next for a given country or the world and plan accordingly. The corkscrew of evolution analogy is a perfect one, where the human race has up and down cycles but always trends up longer term thanks to technological innovation. My one criticism is he speaks out of both sides of his mouth in one instance, presumably because he doesn’t want to upset any high ranking politicians or leaders he may be friends with, which I found to be disappointing. On the one hand, he notes at the start of the book that no two democracies have waged war with each other, wars have only been fought between dictators/police states and democracies or just dictators/police states. Then later on when discussing China, he all but excuses and rationalizes their increasingly authoritarian state, as seen by Xi crowning himself leader until death and abolishing the precedent of 2 5 year term limits as of 2018. He blesses the Chinese approach of a few rulers knowing what’s best for all, as if those rulers are acting in the broader interest of Chinese people, and that’s an acceptable alternative to democratic rule. He cites the recent video game ban as having merit or at least being understandable, suggesting that he thinks the ends can justify the means. All the while there’s no mention of the atrocities of Mao under this authoritarian type of rule, no mention of the Muslim genocide going on now, the suppression of free speech and jailings and beating and murders of those that oppose the current regime, no mention of internet censorship, etc. To bring the criticism full circle, he doesn’t link his first point on wars and authoritarians always being involved in them, with the fact that China is an authoritarian state and therefore it’s rise threatens the free world and human progress. Ironically, he does correctly acknowledge China’s opening up to market and establishment of capitalist principles for rocketing them toward the US in terms of power, while refuses to critique the political system despite its history of failings, violence and pain. Russia invading Ukraine couldn’t drive this point (ie the civil or political system being as important as the economic system to the long term success of a country and world peace) home any harder.
