Roller Grill GED 40 Double Ice Cream Waffle Iron

The Roller Grill GED 40 is a purpose-built electric waffle iron designed specifically for producing ice cream cones. It is not a general-purpose waffle maker. The unit is fitted with cast iron plates in a criss-cross pattern that forms the characteristic cone waffle shape, and that is the job it is built to do — consistently and without compromise.

Cast iron is well suited to this kind of continuous work. It holds heat evenly across the cooking surface and recovers quickly between batches, which matters when cone production is ongoing and inconsistent results are not an option. The double-plate configuration allows two waffles to be made simultaneously, which effectively doubles throughput compared to a single-plate unit — a practical advantage wherever demand is sustained throughout service rather than occasional.

Operations that tend to get the most from this unit include:

• Ice cream parlours and gelato counters producing cones to order throughout the day
• Dessert cafés and dessert bars with consistent cone demand during service
• Hospitality venues offering made-to-order ice cream as part of a dessert menu
• Event catering and concession setups running a dedicated ice cream or dessert station

It is worth being clear that this is a single-purpose unit. If cone volumes are modest or heavily seasonal, a single-plate model may represent a more proportionate investment. At the other end of the scale, very high-volume operations should consider whether one double-plate unit is sufficient or whether a second unit would provide the throughput and resilience needed during peak periods.

The GED 40 requires a standard electrical connection and a stable, level worksurface with adequate clearance around it for safe operation and access during cleaning. It is a countertop unit, so dedicated floor space is not required, but the working position and surface heat tolerance should be considered before installation.
