Our Range of Soft Serve Machines

Our range includes equipment from brands such as Iceteam and BRAS, along with many other brands suited to soft serve dessert service. Depending on the model, we offer a variety of machines, including yoghurt-capable units, cream machines, gelato makers, continuous-churning gelato display machines, and other related equipment. As a one-stop shop, The Slushie Specialists gives you the flexibility to compare machines based on how you plan to serve, the type of product you want to the level of demand you expect.

Choosing the right Soft Serve Machine for you

Choosing the right machine starts with understanding how you plan to use it. We recommend looking at the output capacity, footprint, and whether the machine is intended for soft serve, frozen yoghurt, or another frozen dessert application. If you are working with limited bench space, a more compact unit may be the better fit. If you expect higher daily volume, it makes more sense to look at a machine built to keep up with a steady service. A simple way to compare your options is:

●       Smaller venues or limited-space setups: the Iceteam G1 is a compact option with a 6 L hopper and production of up to 15 kg per hour. It can serve one 85 g portion every 20 seconds, or around 5 to 6 portions immediately before the machine needs a short recovery period.

●       Busier service environments: the Iceteam INOX 453 is better suited to higher-volume requirements, with 2 x 8 L hoppers, a two plus one flavour setup, and production of 45 kg per hour.

●       Businesses serving gelato or fresh-churned dessert: the Vision 4 processes 1.5 to 2.5 kg of mix per cycle, produces 3 to 5 L of gelato per cycle, and delivers output up to 24 kg per hour, making it a practical option where the displays also play a part.

●       Setups preparing product ahead of service: the CK 100 Blast Freezer can be relevant where gelato needs to be set for storage, with blast freezing down to -18°C and reconditioning at -14°C for service.

Maintenance

Ongoing maintenance is just as important as the initial purchase. We already stock Haynes Lubri-Film Plus, which is a food-grade lubricant used to help soft serve machines run smoothly, reduce wear on seals, and help prevent valves from sticking in extreme temperatures. It can also be used on other types of equipment including slushie machines, yoghurt machines, meat slicers, and coffee machines as well. When buying commercial frozen dessert equipment, it is worth thinking beyond the machine itself and making sure you have the right support items and maintenance routine in place. Our team is always ready to help with practical guidance around the upkeep needed to keep your equipment operating properly.

FAQs

What is the difference between a soft serve machine and a gelato machine?

The main difference is in air incorporation, texture, and serving style.

Soft serve machines are designed to freeze and dispense products directly from the machine. They usually incorporate more air into the mix, which creates a lighter, softer product that can be served straight into a cone or cup.

Gelato machines are generally designed to produce a denser product with less incorporated air. In many setups, gelato is made in batches, then transferred into pans for display and manual scooping. Some gelato equipment can also churn and display the product in the same unit.

In simple terms, a soft serve machine is built for direct dispensing and a lighter texture, while gelato equipment is generally used to produce a denser product for display and scooping.

What is a continuous-churning gelato display machine?

A continuous-churning gelato display machine is designed to present gelato and churn (stirs) in the same unit. It suits businesses that want the product visible to customers while helping maintain its texture and presentation during service.

Do you stock spare parts and support items for these machines?

Yes. The Slushie Specialists also stocks support items such as food-grade lubricant and is known for carrying a wide range of spare parts online, which can help with ongoing upkeep and servicing.
