Drink Machines

The commercial frozen drink machines and margarita machines are versatile, allowing you to serve frozen cappuccinos or lattes, granitas, frozen margaritas and daiquiris, frozen lemonade, or slush drinks. Margarita machines are a must for Latin-themed restaurants or even restaurants simply looking to add a tropical flair. Best of all, slushy drinks are popular year-round, making a frozen drink or margarita machine an investment that will bring returns season after season.

Some commercial frozen drink machine utilizes one syrup, while others utilize two syrups simultaneously. A frozen drink machine, often called a slush machine or margarita machine, lets your business offer a number of quality frozen or chilled beverages. Having cold drinks available can increase sales and give customers a refreshing break during the hotter months or sweet treat year-round. Since these machines are available in a number of different types and styles, it's important to know what you want to serve and how much you will need to serve each day before investing in one.

A commercial frozen drink machine is manufactured to fit on countertops, but how much space they ultimately take up depends on the size of the model, as a slush machine with only one hopper will take up less space than one with three hoppers. The compressor type also impacts the space requirement. These machines are generally self-contained and air-cooled, although some manufacturers offer water-cooled models. The commercial frozen drink machine is available with a number of aesthetic variations. Some models are finished in black or stainless steel, or a combination of the two. Although many hoppers are clear, polycarbonate bowls that allow customers to see the product being mixed, machines being utilized in a busy commercial kitchen or other behind-the-scenes area might not benefit from that visual interest. Most slush machines have a graphics display across the top that might be back-lit, drawing customers in and advertising what products you have.

A commercial frozen drink machine is the best way to attract customers in a hot summer day, make a profit & maximize client’s satisfaction with granitas, slushies, smoothies etc. The frozen drink machine comes in a variety of styles, options & colors. No matter what type of drink you want to offer, your drink mix will likely come in the form of a liquid concentrate or granulated powder, both of which need to be mixed thoroughly before being added to the machine's hopper. Some machines are recommended for use with mixes that fall within a certain brix level or ratio, which indicates the percentage of the weight of sugar in the mix. You can consult with your food supplier to understand which options will work with your commercial frozen drink machine.

It's important to consider how easily cleaned or maintained a machine might be. Some are constructed with fewer parts for easier maintenance, while others have parts that can be sanitized in a commercial dishwasher. Many models come with removable drip trays, dispensers that won't drip during use and touchpad displays that guide the programming, cleaning, and maintenance processes.
