ICETEAM

A soft serve machine freezes and aerates mix continuously and dispenses straight into a cone or cup. A batch gelato or ice cream machine freezes a mix in batches for display and scooping from a cabinet.

A soft serve machine dispenses whatever compatible mix is loaded, so the same machine can run a soft serve mix or a frozen yoghurt mix. ICETEAM lists three soft serve machines covering soft serve, frozen yoghurt and gelato service.

A blast chiller drops a cooked or pasteurised mix to a cold holding temperature quickly before churning, which limits time in the temperature danger zone and gives a more consistent finished texture. ICETEAM lists one.

Match the machine's output to peak-hour demand rather than daily total, since a queue forms in a short window. Check hopper capacity and the number of dispensing flavours on each ICETEAM listing before comparing models.

Cafes, takeaway shops, gelaterias, holiday parks, pools, clubs, service stations and event operators buy commercial soft serve equipment. Hospitality Connect supplies ICETEAM machines to those venues at trade pricing, with Australia-wide delivery.
