Equipment types
Types of professional ice cream machine
Choosing an ice cream machine depends on your service type, peak demand and available space. Below we summarise the equipment types and the criteria we ask about before recommending a solution.
Granita / slush machines
Machines with transparent bowls for granita and frozen drinks, keeping the product visible on the counter.
Tourist locations, mini markets, kiosks and venues with high summer demand.
Ice cream cabinets & displays
Display cabinets and serving freezers for scooping ice cream and packaged products.
Pastry shops, gelaterias and retail.
Selection
How to choose an ice cream machine
Peak demand
Size the machine on servings per peak hour, not on the daily average - that is what determines the required output.
Hoppers & flavours
One hopper for a single flavour, two hoppers for two flavours plus a mix. This directly shapes your menu.
Air or water cooling
Air cooling needs proper ventilation around the unit; water cooling performs better in enclosed, hot spaces.
Power supply & footprint
Check the supply (single or three phase), counter dimensions and ventilation clearances before ordering.
Cleaning & hygiene
Daily cleaning time and ease of disassembly matter as much as raw output.
Service & spare parts
A machine out of service means a lost day. Availability of technical support and spare parts is critical.
