What Is an Ice Cream Soft Serve Machine?
An ice cream soft serve machine is a specialized device that combines a cooling mechanism with an agitating unit.
Its primary purpose is to produce soft-serve ice cream. The operational process of these machines involves several key steps. First, they cool down a mixture of ingredients typically including cream, milk, and sugar using the built-in cooling system. Then, an agitating device transforms these ingredients into a smooth and creamy consistency. Finally, the machine dispenses the mixture through a nozzle, creating a soft-serve ice cream.
There are two main types of soft serve machines: compressor type and water-cooled type. The compressor type uses a compressor for cooling, providing high cooling capacity and stability. On the other hand, the water-cooled type uses water, offering a lower cost and easy maintenance compared to the compressor type. Additionally, various types are available in the market, ranging from household models, which are compact and affordable, to commercial models, which are designed for large capacity and continuous operation.
