About products and suppliers

Soft ice cream machine, as its name implies, produces ice cream with a soft, smooth texture. This consistency is achieved by soft ice maker pumping in more air, unlike regular ice cream. Another factor that contributes to the texture is that soft serve is usually kept at slightly higher temperatures. In addition to soft serve, these machines can also dispense treats like sorbet and frozen yogurt. That’s why it’s also referred to as a froyo machine (frozen yogurt machine).

Soft serve ice cream popularity is on the rise, so if you’re looking to tap into the wave, commercial soft serve ice cream machine might be your ticket to business success. Frozen treat enthusiasts can also benefit from buying a soft ice cream machine for home . Going out and having to stand in line to get a cup/cone of soft serve ice cream at a convenience store or restaurant can be hassle. Not to mention it costs a pretty penny. But what kind of soft serve ice cream machine will best fit your needs? These features will help you decide:

Flavor options

There are soft serve machines that offer only one flavor, and others that dispense two flavors at once. So if you’re looking for a soft serve ice cream machine for home use, a single flavor model should be sufficient.

Feed system

This basically refers to how soft serve ice cream makers operate. They come in two variations; pressure/pump-fed and gravity-fed. As the name suggests, the latter uses gravity to push the ice cream mix soft serve down the freezing cylinder while a pressurized machine uses a pump. Pump-fed machines are more expensive, complicated and offer a higher quality final product than their gravity counterpart.

Size/capacity

Soft serve machines are available in floor and countertop models. Countertop soft serve ice cream machines are usually smaller in size and perfectly suitable for those with limited spaces or not planning to produce large quantities of soft serve. Floor models have a higher output capacity and are better suited for larger spaces.

Extra features

If you’re looking for a commercial soft serve machine, you should consider the cooling system. Air-cooled machines don’t require a continual water supply to cool, but are usually noisier and use more electricity than water-cooled ice cream machines. LED display and low-mix alarm are other features you should consider.
