Choosing The Right Commercial Soft Serve Ice Cream Machine

By Mattie MacDonald


Restaurants and other dining establishments own ice cream machines for different reasons. For example being able to dispense it quickly rather than scooping can save time. This may sound silly but during a busy dinner rush every second counts! This is why when you are looking to buy a commercial soft serve ice cream machine you need to be sure you are getting something appropriate for your business.

The first thing to consider is what you are likely to use a machine for. If you do not need to serve it very often then it is best to use a low volume device. However if you are processing a lot then you will need one that can store a large amount and dispense a large amount in a short space of time.

Another issue is space. A counter top machine is ideal if you have a small van or pop up restaurant and there is a limited amount of room. It is also best if you only need small volumes of ice cream. For example when serving dessert you are only really going to need a small swirl to top off a pie or cake.

The next thing to consider is the type you want. A counter top is ideal if you have a limited amount of space and you do not expect high demand. However for larger volume orders or peak business then a floor model is often the best option in order to cope with the additional demand.

Another consideration is how the ice cream is dispensed. A gravity based system is best if you want something that is low maintenance because it is relatively easy to clean and there is not much overspill. However the downside of this is that it is not as fast as a mechanised pump system.

Another thing you need to think about is how the ice cream is dispensed. A gravity based dispenser is best if you are not pumping out a lot. A gravity based dispenser is easier to maintain than clean rather a mechanised pump action machine where you can get overspill and there are more parts to clean up.

There is also the issue of whether you want additional flavours or not. If you want to keep it simple or you are serving ice cream with a dessert then a single flavour is best. However if you serve ice creams and this is your speciality then additional flavours and swirling them together can often be a good marketing tool.

In short there are a number of options available. It is important to do your research and consider the most appropriate make and model that is right for you. Use your regular search engine to find out more and get feedback from customers who have bought machines in the past. With the right approach you will find the ideal machinery to suit the needs of your business.
