Beginner's Guide to Choosing a Commercial Ice Cream Machine

Commercial ice cream machines are essential for businesses that serve these sweet frozen treats. They come in different sizes and types, depending on your products and available space. Selecting the right equipment can be a bit overwhelming. To help you out, here are some of the most basic commercial ice cream machines that you want to consider investing in. 

 


  • Frozen merchandise: For businesses that resell ready-made products, such as ice popsicles and gelato pints from other brands, freezer cabinets with sliding glass top openings are your best option. Customers can easily choose which ones they want to purchase and pay them at the counter. 
  • Soft serve and frozen yogurt machines: Whether ordering ice cream is self-service or your staff prepares them at the kitchen, having suitable machines that create the silkiest and smoothest frozen treats will keep customers coming back for more. 
  • Ice cream dipping cabinets: Do you have a stall, kiosk, or offer frozen treats at your restaurant by the scoop? Dipping cabinets allow you to showcase large containers and different flavors of ice cream, custard, or gelato. People eat with their eyes, so when they are able to choose which ones they like, they are more enticed to make a purchase. 
  • Traditional deep freezers: Let’s say your menu includes milkshakes, crepes topped with ice cream, or other desserts that use these tasty treats as part of the ingredient or element of the dish; stick with trusty freezer cabinets. They do the job and even allow you to put other frozen ingredients in it so you can maximize their usage. 

 

Additional Things to Consider When Purchasing Equipment for Your Frozen Products 

 

  • Demand: Are frozen treats your main or top-selling products? If that’s the case, you want to consider machines that can keep up with the demand, whether it be a special soft serve machine for large-scale production or more compact tabletop equipment for your gas station convenience store. 
  • Product line: If you have many flavor varieties or product options, opt for equipment that can beautifully display all of them. Don’t be afraid to use several machines when needed. 
  • Mobility: Do you offer catering or table-side services? Choose tabletop freezers or cabinets that can be moved around the commercial facility. Are you planning to serve them at the counter or prepare them at the back? Our team at Celco can help you select the best size and model that suits your needs.
